In: Judaism

Orthodox Jewish Beliefs

There are certain basic beliefs that characterize Orthodox Judaism, although there is a fair amount of flexibility among the major Jewish thinkers.

  • the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient God who created the world and remains active in history
  • reward and punishment
  • the divine nature of the Bible - the Five Books of Moses (the Old Testament), the Prophets, the Writings and the Oral Law
  • the world-to-come


Perhaps someone can add to this answer for the other denominations of Judaism?
