76, have pity on us and inspire us to understand and discern, to perceive, learn and teach, to observe, do, and fulfill gladly all the teachings of thy Torah. Enlighten our eyes in thy Torah; attach our heart to thy commandments; unite our heart to love and reverence thy name, so that we may never be put to shame. In thy holy, great and revered name we trust—may we thrill with joy over thy salvation. O bring us home in peace from the four corners of the earth, and make us walk upright to our land, for thou art the God who performs triumphs. Thou hast chosen us from all peoples and nations, and hast forever brought us near to thy truly great name, that we may eagerly praise thee and acclaim thy Oneness, Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast graciously chosen thy people Israel.

Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

Blessed be the name of his glorious majesty forever and ever.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them when you are sitting at home and when you go on a journey, when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. You shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
