Sh’ma!
One of the most important prayers in the Jewish Lexicon is called the “Shma:.

It all stems from STEM
I remember when I was a little tyke, I would play in my basement. No, not with conventional toys. Oh, sure, one of my distant cousins (who was deeply involved with Sperry Gyroscope and its military inventions) had given me his son’s wonderful Lionel train set (which remained in my possession until I was 12 years old).
