For this reason, the Shema is recited aloud as: Shma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Eḥad - Hear, O Israel: the LORD is our God, the LORD is One. The literal word meanings are roughly as follows: Shma — listen, or hear and do (according to the Targum, accept) Yisrael — Israel, in the sense of the people or congregation of Israel Adonai — often translated as LORD, it is read in place of YHWH; Eloheinu — the plural 1st person possessive of אֱלֹהִים Elohim, meaning “our God”.
