    teachings in the Torah, and brought them to the Holy Land.

    2. The belief that there is only one God
    • God is the creator of all that is 3. The belief that God created the world; but
    • God is one the world is not eternal
    • God is incorporeal 4. The belief that there is only one universe
    5. The belief that God cares for the world and
    • God is eternal all its creatures.
    • God alone is to be worshipped
    • God communicates to humans through the medium of
    prophesy
    • Moses was the greatest of the prophets to whom God communicated in the most direct manner
    • the whole of the Torah was revealed to Moses by God
    • the Torah will not be changed or supplanted by another revelation by God
    • God knows of the deeds of mankind and is concerned
    about them Shemah
    “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One. And you
    • God rewards and punishes people for their good or evil
    shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
    ways
    and with all your soul and with all your might. And
    • the Messiah, descendent of the line of David, will usher in
    these words which I command you this day shall be
    the Messianic age
    in your heart.”
    • Resurrection of the dead (the most criticized point) YHWH=Elohim
