Reading the Shema — Session 1

Passage
Deuteronomy 6:4
For the instructor: Read the verse aloud slowly and clearly. Students follow along with the Hebrew text — no translation, no pronunciation guide. The goal is first contact: seeing the script in its natural form.
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד׃
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." — Deuteronomy 6:4 (KJV)
