   • 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).
