Fact: Shema

Deuteronomy 6:4 is called the Shema, from the Hebrew word for "hear." Today many people of the Jewish faith fulfill the commands of 6:8-9 literally: They write Bible verses on pieces of paper, place them in small boxes, and then they either tie the boxes to their arm or their forehead, or attach them to the doorposts of their home.
