The second part of the Shema is from Deuteronomy 11:13-21, beginning with the word vehaya. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Translation: HEAR, O ISRAEL: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

Transliteration: Shema yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai echad. After a pause, Deuteronomy 6:5-9 is then recited, which stresses the commandment to love the L-rd your G-d with all of your heart, soul, and might. In the recitation of Deuteronomy 6:4-9, special emphasis is given to the first six Hebrew words of this passage (Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad) and a six-word response is said in an undertone (barukh shem kevod malkhuto le'olam va'ed). Please be patient as the sound files load. Hear O Israel, the LORD our God is One LORD
