Maimonides Minute – Hilchot Kriat Shma 2:1-2 (Do you need to concentrate on the words?)

On today’s Maimonides Minute podcast, we discuss whether a person must concentrate on the words while reciting Kriat Shma. We also ask whether an individual must sit while reciting Shma, or whether he can say it in any position. (Please listen to this episode, which also includes a special 200th episode message from Rabbi Kahn.)
