Please learn this as a zechus for Eretz Yisrael our injured and fallen soldiers.
"Shema — Listen Israel! The Eternal is our God, the Eternal is one." (Deut. 6:4)
By reciting the Shema, the central message of the Jewish people, one accepts ohl malchut shamayim, God's kingship and authority. We are instructed to recite the Shema twice a day — "when you lie down and when you rise up" (6:7). Why isn't once a day sufficient?
