Iyun Tefillah – Shema

“With all your might.” The Hebrew for Might is ‘mi-od,” which the Sages have explained in different ways. I suggest that ‘mi-od’ always refers to something that is more than others, higher, taller, stronger. or louder. The Torah uses the word ‘mi-od’ to tell us that we must constantly work to grow our love of God.”
