If there is no minyan, all can say the following:
אֵל מֶלֶךְ נֶאֱמָן
El, melekh ne’eman
Mighty, Faithful King
Congregation says all parts of the Shema with the Khazzan.
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יהוה אֶחָד:
Sh’ma Yisra’el, ADONAI eloheh-nu, ADONAI eh’khad.
Hear O Yisra’el, HASHEM is our God, HASHEM is One.
Whisper (we didn’t do this part in the video):
בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ, לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד
Barukh shem kevod malkhuto, leh-olam va-ed
Blessed is the name of his honorable majesty forever and ever.
וְאָ֣הַבְתָּ֔ אֵ֖ת יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּכָל־לְבָֽבְךָ֥ וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וּבְכָל־מְאֹדֶֽךָ:
V-ahavta et ADONAI Eloheh-kha b-khol levav-kha uv-khol nafsheh-kha, uv-khol meh’odeh-kha.
You shall love HASHEM your God with all your heart and with all your life and with all your resources.
וְהָי֞וּ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָֽנֹכִ֧י מְצַוְּךָ֛ הַיּ֖וֹם עַל־לְבָבֶֽךָ:
Veh-ha’yu ha-devarim ha-eleh asher anokhi metzaveh-kha ha-yom al levaveh-kha,
These matters that I command you today shall be on your heart.
