Hear, O Israel, the L-rd is our G‑d, the L-rd is One.
Victor Frankl’s book Man’s Search for Meaning, is a brilliant work, it dealt with Frankl’s experience as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. When he arrived at the concentration camp, he tried to hide the book he was writing, but all his possession were confiscated.
Frankl wrote: “I had to surrender my clothes and in turn inherited the worn-out rags of an inmate who had been sent to a gas chamber immediately after his arrival at the Auschwitz railway station. Instead, I found in the pocket of my newly acquired coat one single page torn out of a Hebrew prayer book, containing the most important Jewish prayer, Shema Israel.”
“Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! Therefore, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4Frankl learned that no matter what happens to you nobody can take away your attitude and your soul or your spiritual essence.
Today pray the Shema and let God be your boss.
