[QUOTE="Aravah, post: 2622537, member: 694604"] answer: the worship of G-d and G-d alone. Studying His word in the Tanakh (which contains the Torah). Keeping His commandments (613 w/the Temple, 300 w/out the Temple). Helping repair the world and caring for family, friends, community (which includes mandated charity). Awaiting the Messiah/Messianic age. The closest that anyone has ever come to creating a widely-accepted list of Jewish beliefs is Rambam's thirteen principles of faith. These principles, which Rambam thought were the minimum requirements of Jewish belief, 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 [/QUOTE]
