אַחַת מִתּוֹרוֹת הָרִאשׁוֹנוֹת שֶׁל רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן
One of the Alter Rebbe’s first teachings,
"וְנִקְרְאוּ אָז בְּשֵׁם "וועֶרטעֶר
which in those [early] days were known as verter, was the following mystical interpretation of the opening verse of the Shema:
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל — אַ אִיד דעֶרהעֶרט
Shema Yisrael (lit., “Hear, O Israel”) — a Jew hears deeply that
הֲוָיָ' אֱלֹקֵינוּ — אַז כּוֹחֵנוּ וְחַיּוּתֵינוּ אִיז דאָס לְמַעֲלָה מִן הַטֶּבַע
Havayah Elokeinu — our strength and vitality transcend nature,
אוּן — הֲוָיָ' אֶחָד.
and that Havayah Echad — Havayah is One.
