Introduction

Denominations and Body Parts

The Shema

Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!

Marriage

Genesis 2: 20, “The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said,

‘This is now bone of my bones,

And flesh of my flesh;

She shall be called Woman,

Because she was taken out of Man.’

24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.”

Psalm 133

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

For brothers to dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,

Coming down upon the beard,

Even Aaron’s beard,

Coming down upon the edge of his robes.

3 It is like the dew of Hermon

Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;

For there the LORD commanded the blessing — life forever.
