Seven Principles of Faith

Subject to reflection and revision each Shabbat.

Principle 1: I believe in one God - omniscient, omnibenevolent, omnipotent and omnipresent.

Principle 2: I believe this God has been made known to us in compelling and controversial ways by the descendants of Abraham, from whom we have received the Tanakh, the New Testament and the Quran.

Principle 3. I believe these sacred scriptures, together with general revelation, point to a two-state covenant between God, Israeli Jews, Palestinian Arabs, and the territory addressed by UN General Assembly Resolution 181.

Principle 4. I believe Zionism will find its highest expression in compliance with a UN Charter that in turn honors the indispensable contributions of Israel, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to the advancement of world civilization.

Principle 5. I believe in the Messianic potential of the first UN millennium.

Principle 6. I believe in partial Mosaic authorship of the Torah, the inspiration of the UN Charter, and the canonicity of both documents from an integral legal perspective.

Principle 7. I believe Shabbat is a holy end of the week that Jews and Gentiles should observe in accordance with conscience and rabbinic guidance.
