Intro to Sefer Devarim - Is it really a review of Chumash?

The First Parshiot of Kriyat Shma

The first two parshiot of "kriyat shma" surround us each and every day of our lives. Not only do we recite them at least twice daily, but they are also written on every doorpost (i.e. on every "mezuzah"), and in the boxes of our "tfilin." What makes them so special? This week's shiur, which analyzes the overall structure of the main speech of Sefer Devarim, we help us better appreciate why specifically these two parshiot are so important.

As we will see in this week's shiur, the answer to this question is quite shocking, quite simple, and very fundamental towards understanding all of Chumash.
