In this session, the third of our eight-part series, we will continue our in-depth look at the first parsha of “Shema”. We will first ask how the berachot of Shema are thematically and otherwise connected to the contents of Shema, and see two different (albeit complementary) approaches.
Then we will move on to the 2nd parsha, “והיה אם שמוע”. We will first study this parsha carefully verse by verse, and time allowing, we will attempt to understand how this parsha differs from the 1st one.
I have posted here some of the sources that I intend to use in this session’s exploration.
