Meagher

I was sitting in my Old Testament class today. I dont like that class. I have made it quite clear in a class session a few weeks ago about the way he teaches the class, which lead to a really good conversation about the whole class. The point is that I will be glad when the class is over. 

Anyway, in our class today, we were reviewing for our test, and I learned something new, that I really appreciated. 

Now I am not a Judaism or Hebrew expert to say the least. I dont have any family background or any class experience with either of these, so bear with me. 

The Jews have a word called Shema, which means "listen."

When Jewish services go on, there is a time in the service when the phrase "Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad" is said. It roughly translates to: "The LORD is our God, the LORD alone."

I like that.
