Maimonides Minute – Hilchot Kriat Shma 1:4-5 (The Origin Story of ‘Baruch Shem’)
9:46 am
The words of Shma as written in the Torah do not include the phrase, “Baruch Shem Kevod Malchuto LeOlam VaEd.” If it’s not a biblical verse and is not part of the Torah commandment of Kriat Shma, why do we recite it?
