Maimonides profound Thirteen Principles of Faith have long been considered the basic and fundamental tenets of Judaism.
But why are there only thirteen fundamental principles in Judaism?
And why does Maimonides begin each principle with the words, I believe with complete faith?
Does this not contradict the belief that the most fundamental of principles is knowing – not believing – that G-d exists?
Rabbi Noson Gurary expertly addresses these and many other questions as he examines each principle in great detail and applies their meaning to the entire structure of Jewish faith. Discover how these principles have come to define man’s relationship to G-d and Torah and the application of each principle as a way of life.
