Shema Israel,
Adonai elohenu, Adonai echad,
Ve’ahavta et Adonai eloeikah,
b’khol levavkah,
uve’khol naphshekah,
uve’khol m’odekah.
Ve’ahavta re acha comocha.

Hear O Israel!
The Lord is our God, the Lord alone,
love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your might!
And love your neighbor as yourself.

(Deuteronomy 6:4-5 & Leviticus 19:18)
