The Shema is usually understood primarily as a declaration that there is one God, and that we have an obligation to serve that God. The Shema, though, is really a brilliant structure that allows us to connect to our deepest spiritual selves and by doing so, liberate our selves to have happier relationships with others, ourselves, and maybe even to God, too.
We will meet this Sunday, 4/29, at 11am at Adat Shalom Synagogue. Everyone is welcome.
