Shema Yisroel - the backstory

On his deathbed, there is a moment when Yaakov Avinu, Jacob our Forefather, wanted to share a pivotal prophecy with his sons, the ancestors of the Jewish people. He intended to reveal the end of days, guided by a divine insight into the sweep of Jewish history. However, God withheld the prophecy, leaving Jacob perplexed.

Their response - "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" establishes the most fundamental concept of Jewish life - loyalty to Hashem, to our heritage, and to the belief in one God.
