Shema question

--- Quote from: LKZ on October 15, 2013, 01:50:50 AM ---So now it means that I was testifying that Torah is not true. I'm totally depressed. I have to make teshuva now for it. Everyone in the shul said shema in the morning prayers, and nobody was wearing tefillin while we prayed... IDK, but I'm going to sleep now, and may Hashem give me money somehow through my work or otherwise so I can be an observant and good Jew.
What other prayers can I say?

No you just need to start keeping Tefillin. You have not done anything wrong in saying Shema (according to my understanding).

Thus you should still continue to say Shema, but you should seek out Tefillin so you can fulfill the command of tefillin...
This is my understanding.... Of course you should consult with a competent Orthodox Rabbi...

If you offer an improper sacrifice, I'm pretty sure G-d kills you or brings calamity to the Jewish people. I feel so terrible right now.

LKZ,
I will ask my Rabbi tomorrow morning about this... Indeed it seems very harsh to those who don't have tefillin.

I will probably be awake until then at this point...

I really don't think you should worry about this. Say Shema for the command to say Shema. If you are violating the command of Tefillin that is another issue.
