Jews don't just "believe" these are true. As you grow closer to God you can feel their reality.

The Thirteen
Principles
of Faith

The 13 Principles of Faith were compiled by the Rambam (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, or Maimonides, 1135-1204 C.E.) A physician born in Moorish Cordoba, Rambam lived in a variety of places throughout the Moorish lands of Spain, the Middle East, North Africa and became the leader of the Jewish community in Cairo.

Whatever your level of Jewish knowledge, your "God-knowledge" begins here. These are 13 principles that our ancestors lived by. All of them.

To them, God & Torah & Physical Reality were an inseparable unity. The Rambam writes that whoever does not believe in any of these 13 principles is not considered part of the Jewish people, and will not have a share in the world to come.
