“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love Adonai your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (TLV)
Shalom, my friend.
The words from the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5), the central command of the Jewish faith, are a tremendous reminder for all of us during this holiday season.
There are so many uncertainties that we’re facing in our own experiences and as a global community. It can all feel heavy and burdensome in our hearts and lives.
