# Judaism: Orthodox Judaism - A Detailed Exposition

## Core Theological Foundations
Orthodox Judaism is defined by the unwavering belief in *Torah min ha-Shamayim* (Torah from Heaven). This posits that both the Written Torah (Pentateuch) and the Oral Torah (Talmud and subsequent Rabbinic interpretation) were revealed by God to Moses at Mount Sinai.

### The Thirteen Principles of Faith
Codified by Maimonides (Rambam), these principles form the bedrock of Orthodox identity:
1. Existence of the Creator.
2. Unity of God.
