What are Orthodox Jewish beliefs?

In: Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud [Edit categories]

Answer:

This question is to broad to answer without writing a book.

But in General, Orthodox Jews believe the following:

There is only one G-d, who created the universe
G-d is both merciful and just
Jews are obligated to make the world a better place (Tikkun Olam)
The three most important activities are prayer, service, and deeds of kindness
The Torah is the word of G-d, and contains 613 obligatory commandments
Men and women have different duties and roles in life, and both are equally important (although some ultra-Orthodox Jews have forgotten this).
