Moses tells the people that their laws and history are unique, and will be seen as such by other nations. Their laws were given by God; their history was written by God \u2013 there is no other nation of which either can be said.<\/p>\n<p>Moses then begins his second great speech. He reminds the people of the Ten Commandments and the revelation at Mount Sinai and commands them to set God at the centre of their lives. This passage became the first paragraph of the Shema, and our supreme expression of the love of God. We recite it, morning and night, we teach it to our children, men wear it, in the form of tefillin, and it is placed as mezuzot \u201con the doorposts of your house\u201d (<a class=\"sefaria-ref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Deuteronomy.6.9?lang=he-en&amp;utm_source=sef_linker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ref=\"Devarim 6:9\" aria-controls=\"sefaria-popup\">Devarim 6:9<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rabbisacks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/CandC-Family-Vaetchanan-FINAL-1.pdf\">Download the Family Edition for Va-etchanan\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":42816,"id":42816,"title":"covenant and conversation -
