לְאַהֲבָה וּלְיִרְאָה אֶת שְׁמֶךָ,
וְלֹא נֵבוֹשׁ וְלֹא נִכָּלֵם
וְלֹא נִכָּשֵׁל לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.
כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשְׁךָ הַגָּדוֹל
וְהַנּוֹרָא בָּטָחְנוּ, נָגִילָה
וְנִשְׂמְחָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ.1

May God lead us forth from exile and bring us to the Land of Israel

Yisro-eil b'ahavoh:
When reciting the Shema, focus intently upon its meaning. As you recite the opening line (שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל), bear in mind that you are accepting God's sovereignty; as you recite the first paragraph (וְאָהַבְתָּ), bear in mind that you are taking on the commandment to love God; and as you recite the second paragraph (וְהָיָה), bear in mind that you are taking on all of God's commandments. Through reciting the third paragraph (וַיֹּאמֶר), you fulfill the commandment of recalling the Exodus from Egypt.
Particular care must be taken to pronounce every word of the Shema distinctly. Halt at each punctuation mark to make certain that you do not run the words together and change their meaning.
Recite the next verse aloud, covering your eyes with your right hand. For transliteration, consult page 943.
We proclaim God's Oneness
