Judaism Question 1
1A. This is the Jewish prayer of the Shema that Jews recite and chant at pretty much every single Shabbat and holiday service. The meaning of the passage is that it is the commandment of God to the his people to only honor him and only him. He is preaching to all of the Jewish people in the land of Israel and beyond that you shall love him with all of your heart, soul, and body. In the very last phrase of the prayer, he tells his people to take these words to heart and remember them. It is considered to be an obligation of every Jew to love only one God with everything you have.
1B. Jews should live under one God and honor him with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might. Every Jew must take this commandment to heart and honor it every day. The lord our God is our only God and God is one.
