Tote Bag Shema Yisrael

Features the opening phrase of the"Shema" prayer in Hebrew superimposed on a multi-color background reminiscent of the creation of the universe. Shema Yisrael,; "Hear, [O] Israel", are the first two words of the most important Jewish prayer. The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism: "Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is one," found in Deuteronomy 6:4 . Observant Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism, and its twice-daily recitation as a mitzvah (religious commandment). It is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words, and for parents to teach their children to say it before they go to sleep at night.
