There is yet another awesome matter that we give no thought to. ררֵוֹעְל דָחֶא ל ָּכ וּארְִי םֵהֶשׁ ,םידִרֲֵחַה תֶא ררֵוֹעְל רָקִּעָהְו
The gemara asks (Gemara Berachot 13a) “Why does the perashah
of “Shema Yisrael” \ “Hear O’Israel” precede the perashah of י ִּכ ,רוּסִּאָה לדֶֹּג תֶא םֵסרְַפְל וּארְִּיֶשׁ ,ויָע ָּדֻ יְמוּ וירָי ִּכַמ תֶא

one first accept upon himself Gd’s authority and then accept the
responsibility to observe the mitzvot. For this reason we then .אָמְלָע ְּב הָבוֹט
conclude (the Kriyat Shemah) with “It is true, and established and
correct…and His words are alive \ vibrant, and everlasting and ,וֹרוּסִּא לדֶֹּג תֶא םי ִּברַ ָּב י ִּתרְרַוֹעֶשׁ רַחַא ,יִנַלָאְשׁ דָחֶאְו

mitzvot that he accepts upon himself to observe, whether they

the way man expresses himself each day. These are the mitzvot :)ח ַּלַשׁ ְּב אָמוּחְנ ַּת( ל"ַזֲח וּרְמָאֶשׁ ַעוּדָי ,הֶז לַע הָבוּשְׁתוּ
