Many soldiers identified themselves by shouting "Shema Yisrael." 

People were saved thanks to the prayer of "Shema Yisrael."

"Shema Yisrael" is our DNA, something very deep within Jewish consciousness. "Shema Yisrael" reminds us that we are "Am Yisrael," "Jews," regardless of which elections, which color, which shape, what lifestyle the person has. The people of Israel have something deeper than all personal choices, and that is the fact that G-d chose us as His Nation.
