Carved Wood Shema Yisrael Cutout
- from our Affiliates
A digital rendering of Hebrew text reading "Shema Yisrael" (Hear O Israel!) on a "carved" wooden fractal background pattern. "Shema Yisrael" are the first words of the most important Jewish prayer. The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism: "Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is one," found in Deuteronomy 6:4. Observant Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism, and its twice-daily recitation as a mitzvah (religious commandment). It is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words, and for parents to teach their children to say it before they go to sleep at night.
