Parashat VaetchananIncomparably rich, this parashah is the source of the classic words of Jewish worship, Sh'ma Yisra-el (Deut. 6:4-9). It also contains the reprise of the Decalogue (cf. Exod. 20) and continues Moses' exhortation to Israel, with special emphasis on God's goodness and on Israel's uniquely intimate relationship with this good and great God.
