Ep.138-Parshas Vaeschanan-Saying Shema And Taking Responsibility

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses the power of prayer and the specialness of the Shema. When we declare G-ds oneness why do we say "Hear O Israel"? It seems to be a personal statement before we accept upon ourselves the yoke of heaven. He answers the question of how it is possible to love G-D when love is an emotion.
