THE RAMBAM'S THIRTEEN PRINCIPLES OF JEWISH FAITH

1. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is the Creator and Ruler of all things.
He alone has made, does make, and will make all things.

2. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is One. There is no unity that is in
any way like His. He alone is our G-d He was, He is, and He will be.

3. I believe with perfect faith that G-d does not have a body. physical
concepts do not apply to Him. There is nothing whatsoever that
resembles Him at all.

4. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is first and last.

5. I believe with perfect faith that it is only proper to pray to G-d. One may
not pray to anyone or anything else.

6. I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.

7. I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses is absolutely true.
He was the chief of all prophets, both before and after Him.

8. I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that we now have is that
which was given to Moses.

9. I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be changed, and that
there will never be another given by G-d.

10. I believe with perfect faith that G-d knows all of man's deeds and
thoughts. It is thus written (Psalm 33:15), "He has molded every heart
together, He understands what each one does."

11. I believe with perfect faith that G-d rewards those who keep His
commandments, and punishes those who transgress Him.

12. I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah. How long it
takes, I will await His coming every day.

13. I believe with perfect faith that the dead will be brought back to life
when G-d wills it to happen.
