שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ ה׳ אֶחָד (דברים ו:ד)
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is One." (Deuteronomy 6:4)
This is the central declaration of Jewish faith and monotheism.
It affirms the unity and singularity of God — that there is only one God who is the sole ruler and creator.
"Hear, O Israel" is a call to attention, emphasizing the importance of this truth.
It is recited daily in Jewish prayer as a foundational spiritual affirmation."
