Usage: The Hebrew verb "shekach" primarily means "to forget" or "to neglect." It is used in the context of failing to remember or disregarding something or someone. This can refer to both intentional and unintentional acts of forgetting, whether it be God's commandments, personal responsibilities, or relationships.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, memory and remembrance were vital components of religious and communal life. The act of remembering was often tied to covenantal faithfulness, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's deeds and laws. Forgetting, therefore, was not merely a lapse in memory but could signify a breach in one's relationship with God or community. The concept of "shekach" underscores the importance of mindfulness and intentionality in maintaining one's spiritual and communal obligations.
