The Shema is the most important Jewish prayer… Because it is the Jewish declaration of faith: “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one, we shall worship the Lord O God with all our heart and all our might…”

The following pictures show the Tefillin which are worn for week day prayer. The Tefillin are two small black boxes, made from the leather of a kosher animal, which are strapped to the forehead and left arm, which is nearer the heart.. They are worn on the head and arm so God is constantly in their mind and in their heart. The Tefillin is a physical reminder of the Torah. Inside the Tefillin is the Shema. By wearing the Tefillin, a Jewish man is fulfilling the command in the Shema: “…tie them on your arms and wear them on your foreheads as a reminder.”

The pictures below show a Jewish man ready to worship.

Jews cover their heads as a sign of respect for God. A woman can wear any hat or scarf but a man usually puts on a small round cap called a Kippah, or Yamulkah. This can be any colour. Some Orthodox Jewish men and boys wear a kippah throughout the day as a constant reminder that God is higher than they are.

In the Torah God told Moses, “Make tassels on the corners of your garments and put a blue cord on each tassel. You are to do this for all time to come. The tassels will serve as reminders, and each time you see them you will remember all my commands and obey them” Numbers 15:38-39

This has developed into the Tallit, a large blue and white prayer shawl. On the ends are fringes and tassels representing the 613 laws in the Torah. The shawl is wrapped around a Jew to remind him that God surrounds him. The longer tassels are called the tzizit, they represent the 10 commandments. When a Jewish man dies he is often buried with the tallit on and the fringes are cut to show that they no longer have to keep the commandments. “Make tassels on the corners of your garments and put a blue cord on each tassel. You are to do this for all time to come. The tassels will serve as reminders, and each time you see them you will remember all my commands and obey them”

The Shema: The Jewish declaration of faith. It is written in Hebrew Found inside the Mezuzah and Tefillin. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one God. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Never forget these commands I give to you today…

The Shema: The Jewish declaration of faith. It is written in Hebrew Found inside the Mezuzah and Tefillin.

Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one God. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Never forget these commands I give to you today…
