when jesus spoke to the sadducees, his words would have been most familiar to them. in the torah, moses gives the shema to his people in the book of deuteronomy 6:4-9, the most important of all jewish prayers. it is a declaration of faith and a pledge of allegiance to god. twice daily, recitation of the shema israel is a mitzvah for the jewish people -- it is said upon rising in the morning and going to sleep at night. it is said when praising god and when petitioning him. the shema israel is the first prayer taught to jewish children and it is the last words a jew says before death. the shema is recited in preparation for the reading of the torah on the sabbath and jewish holidays and at the end of the holiest day, yom kippur. judaism teaches that the name of god is not read aloud in the shema; it is replaced with adonai ("my lord")
