For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel
For the Refua Shlema of Chai Yaakov ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Mekor Chaim Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:
1. When on enters Bet Knesset (Shul) and finds the
Congregation saying Kiryat Shema, this person must read the first pasuk
(verse/line) of Kriyat Shema with the people, because if not it seems like this
person does not want to Accept upon him/herself Ol Malchut Shamayim, or the Kingship of Heaven. This is said about
a person who has gotten up to a part of the Tefillah (prayer) where he/she can
stop and be involved with something else, but in a case where they cannot; this
person just puts his/her hand over their eyes and says in his/her heart the
first Pasuk of Kriyat Shema with Baruch
Shem Kevod Malchuto Le’Olam Va’ed.
2. In Kriyat Shema there are 245 words. Because each human
has a total of 248 limbs in the body, the Shaliach Tzibbur (emissary of the
congregation) says Hashem Elokechem Emet
to complete 3 more words after the 245 words said by everyone (totaling 248).
If the individual would like, he/she can also say these words with the Shaliach
Tzibbur. Also the one who is reading Kriyat Shema alone (at home, in school,
etc.), they can also add in these three words.
