13 principles of faith

Hi All,

Jews don't have a sort of creed to be 'rattled off ', but the nearest thing we do have to a creed is the Rambam's  13 principles of faith.

 These are :
  • G-d exists
  • G-d is one and unique
  • G-d is incorporeal
  • G-d is eternal
  • Prayer is to be directed to G-d alone and to no other
  • The words of the prophets are true
  • Moses' prophecies are true, and Moses was the greatest of the prophets
  • The Written Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) and Oral Torah (teachings now contained in the Talmud and other writings) were given to Moses
  • There will be no other Torah
  • G-d knows the thoughts and deeds of men
  • G-d will reward the good and punish the wicked
  • The Messiah will come
  • The dead will be resurrected
