Shema Yisrael

How the Chief Rabbi of Israel uncovered Jewish identity in European monasteries with the words “Shema Yisrael”

From Yaakov’s last words to the heartbeat of Jewish faith, how the Shema became the eternal declaration of unity, truth, and trust in Hashem.

After the online uproar over soccer player Itay Shechter's Jewish act, celebrating his victory goal by donning a kippah and reciting 'Shema Yisrael,' Shechter published a heartfelt post clarifying that he doesn't intend to apologize for his beliefs. "I am a believer from birth," he stated.

The "Shema Yisrael" is the eternal call of the Jewish people, accompanying each person from birth until the end of their days, in times of joy and in times of crisis. A Jew never abandons their faith and never forgets their duty to sanctify Hashem's name before all humanity.
