*Law #76 To say the Shema twice daily.
Deut. 6:7 "And thou shalt teach them diligently (the Laws) unto they children, and shalt talk of them when thou sit in thine house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thout rise up."
The true command here is to teach our children the Laws at every opportunity possible, when we're sitting around the house, walking around the neighborhood, putting them down to bed, or waking them up from their sleep. However, this Law is already presented in Law #22 - To learn the Torah. Which means that this law is a repeat.
We see a false Commandment has been added by Judaism to "Say the Shema twice daily." This Command is NOT found in scripture. It should be deleted. Saying the Shema is a Judaic practice, not founded on scripture. Customs are one thing. But we cannot call our customs "Laws" when they are not commanded.
