Israel - Shema Israel, State Medal, 5740-1980 - Gold 585, 6.93g, 22mm
Only 10% fees + VAT on this item
"Hear 0 Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One". Reading the passage is a Biblical commandment "And let these words which I command thee this day, be upon thy heart" (Deuteronomy 6). "Hear 0 Israel", a pronouncement that a Jew hears from the day he is born to the day he dies, constitutes a profession of faith in the unity between the Jew and his Maker, repeated daily. It is also a proclamation of the identity of the individual with his people. "Hear 0 Israel" binds Jews from distant countries who have no other common language. They greet and introduce themselves to each other with the words "Hear 0 Israel".
Obverse: In stylized Hebrew letters: "Hear 0 Israel", Deuteronomy 6, together with the seven-branch candelabra.
Reverse: The full verse "Hear 0 Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is One, DT 6:4" in English and a Star of David.
