Deuteronomy 6:5
“You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.”
This verse is part of the Shema, a central declaration of faith in Judaism, found in the book of Deuteronomy. It comes from Moses' final speeches to the Israelites as they are about to enter the promised land, reminding them of their covenant with God and the core principles that should guide their lives in a new place.
How might deeply rooted principles like love for God, understood broadly as devotion to what is good and true, guide us through the complexities and rapid shifts of our modern world?
