パプア・ニューギニアの兄弟姉妹によるイスラエルのための祈り。ヘブル語と英語による。ちょっと感動するかもだ。この祈りの由来は－
Yisrael is a Jewish prayer first found in the Five Books of Moses, copied by Christians and put in the New Testament .
Shema Yisrael is central to the morning and evening Jewish prayer services. Morning services mandate reciting it by a specific time called "zman kriat Shema", the time up to which one may say the prayer as part of the service.
The complete “Shema” prayer includes three parts taken from Devarim (Deuteronomy) 6:4?9, 11:13-21, and Bamidbar (Numbers) 15:37?41.
The first verse, Deuteronomy 6:4, encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism: “Hear, O Israel - the Lord is our G-d, the Lord is one." It is said with the right hand covering ones eyes and the last word is prolonged for emphasis.
