What is the common Hebrew name for this passage?

Quote Matthew 22: 37, 39 "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind"

What is the common Hebrew name for this passage?
Here Christ is quoting a passage from Deuteronomy called "The Shema" named after the first word that appears in it: "Shema Yishrael...", Hear, O Israel, the LORD your God is one God. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is what they write on a small scroll and keep in a little device attached to their door post. When Christ was asked which was the greatest commandment, this is what He answered. BTW, I am paraphrasing the verse off the top of my head, not looking at a book just at the moment.
