Joseph fit atteler son char et alla au-devant d’Israël, son père, à Gessen. A sa vue, il se précipita à son cou et pleura longtemps dans ses bras.
Mishneh Torah, Reading the Shema
While reading the Shema, one must not wink with the eyes, signal with the lips, or point with the fingers, so that his recital shall not be perfunctory. If he did any of these things, he has, though fulfilling his duty, been guilty of unbecoming conduct. A person should read the Shema so that the words are audible to himself. If he has not done so, he has nevertheless fulfilled his duty. He should enunciate the letters distinctly. If he has not done so, he has nevertheless fulfilled his duty.
