about

The Shema is a declaration of faith, a pledge of allegiance to One God. It is said when waking in the morning andwhen going to sleep at night. It is said that 'Shema' was the last word spoken a Jew who was dying. Shema means 'listen' or 'hear'.

The word represents the meaning behind the album, asking: who is doing the hearing? Who, the story of Exodus, is 'listen' a call to? Is it the call of the slaves - "Hear us, God!" - or is it the call of a God to his people - "Listen, O people?"

lyrics

These words that I command you today shall be in your heart.
And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit at home, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up. 
And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6)

Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil 
Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
(Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.)

Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil 
Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
(Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.)

Barukh sheim k'vod 
malkhuto l'olam va'ed.
(Blessed be the Name of His glorious
 kingdom for ever and ever.)


Blessed be the name of his glorious kingdom forever and ever
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul
And with all your might

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul
And with all your might


Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil 
Adonai Eloheinu 
Adonai echad.
(Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.)

Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil 
Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil 
Adonai Eloheinu 
Adonai echad.
(Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.)
