[Music] with hashem's loving grace this is later brosie from the south Mediterranean Coast in Israel it's just a few thoughts to share with you have you ever noticed that sometimes somebody may do something all their lives and not understand why they do it or the reason they do it for example that's the difference between a person being a religious person and a person being a believing person well if you ask any religious person and say how do you say the shma prayer and they'll say right away pick off the glasses and close your eyes and say oh that's interesting why do you close your eyes why do you cover your eyes not just close your your eyes you close your eyes tight no you cover your eyes and so somebody new to the program could say why do you cover your eyes and you know 98% of the people don't know why they cover their eyes when they say shma but the reason is when we say shma is is the Declaration of her unswerving faith in the almighty hereo Israel the Lord Our God the Lord is one there's three words in the Torah the three words of amuna we call them ain't old milado there's nothing but AEM nothing but AEM everything hasem is behind everything our first principal munah he did does and will do everything so when we cover our eyes cover our eyes what's our eyes
