<div class="itemcontent"><p><a title="VeAhavta" href="http://www.aishdas.org/asp/audio/veahavta.mp3">In this shiur</a>, we look at <a title="Shema Yisrael" href="http://www.aishdas.org/asp/2006/10/shema-yisrael.shtml">the rest</a> of the first paragraph of <em>Shema</em>. Some of the issues discussed are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why do we say “<em>Barukh sheim</em>“?</li>
<li>How can a person choose to fulfill the commandment to love Hashem? Can you choose an emotion?</li>
<li>What does it mean to serve Hashem with our whole hearts? Two approaches to the idea of serving Hashem with the <em>yeitzer hara</em> (evil inclination).</li>
<li>The progression outward of our <em>ahavah</em>, to levavekha (your heart), to <em>nafshekha</em> (your living soul), to <em>me’odekha</em> (all your resources), and its parallel in the subsequent <em>mitzvos</em>.</li>
<li>Looking at the <em>mitzvos</em> in the paragraph as a tool for unifying religion and the “real world”. Religion as sanctifying life rather than a retreat from it.</li>
