Another matter: “Hear, Israel” (Deuteronomy 6:4) – the Rabbis said: When Moses ascended on high, he heard the ministering angels, who were saying to the Holy One blessed be He: ‘Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever,’ and he took it down to Israel. Why does Israel not recite it for all to hear?76It is customary to recite this sentence in a whisper after reciting the verse: “Hear, Israel…” Rabbi Asi said: To what is the matter comparable? To one who stole jewelry from a king’s palace. He gave it to his wife and said to her: ‘Do not adorn yourself with these in public, but only in the house.’ But on Yom Kippur, when they are as pure as ministering angels, they recite it for all to hear: Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.
