One of
Jesus’s earliest memories was no doubt watching and listening to his family when
they gathered to pray the Shema at sunrise
before the day’s work began and after the working work day was over at sunset.
He also heard and participated in praying the Shema at their synagogue. He was surrounded by neighbors who also

purpose of Jewish prayer. The most important part of any Jewish prayer, whether

is the introspection it provides, the moment that we spend looking inside
ourselves, seeing our role in the universe and our relationship to God. Read
