   No, it should not be omitted. It's not a blessing, they are verses from the Torah which anyone can (and should) recite. Reply

   • The Shema Consists of Three Paragraphs From the Torah. Shema is technically not a prayer. It consists of three biblical paragraphs: Deuteronomy 6:4–9, 11:13–21, and Numbers 15:37–41.
   • We Say Shema Twice Daily. In the first paragraph, the fourth verse tells us:1 “And you shall teach them to your children... when you lie down and when you rise up.”
   • We Cover Our Eyes For the First Verse. While reciting the first verse, we cover our eyes with our right hand. The basic reason2 is to eliminate distractions during this essential prayer.
   • The Shema Is One of the First Things We Teach Our Children. In the Laws of Torah study, in the Code of Jewish Law3, we are told that when a child starts to talk we should teach them two verses: “The Torah that Moses commanded us is a heritage for the congregation of Jacob” (Deuteronomy 33:4).

   Why is the second paragraph of the Shema omitted?

   • In Reform prayer books, the second paragraph of the Shema is often omitted because the doctrine of retribution is different in the Reform movement. The third paragraph is also left out because Reform Jews do not accept the commandment regarding fringes. Reform prayer books do include the end of this third section, from Numbers 15:40.

   Who should wear a Shema prayer?

   • While it it commanded for the man (head of the household) to make them, it is for everyone to wear them. God is a single divine Person and this is proven by the multiple thousands of singular personal pronouns which describe Him in Scripture. The Shema prayer is not simply the Jewish declaration of faith that G‑d exists.
