Today we address three major topics:

1. The first line of the Shema - What does it mean that God is "one"? What is the connection between "shema" and the "love" of God?

2. The notion of "you shall teach your children" and the power of Talmud Torah as a major principle.

3. Is there an ethic independent of Halakha? - "You shall do that which is just and good"
