===Orthodox Judaism===
{{Main|Orthodox Judaism#Theology}}
Orthodox Judaism continuously maintained the historical rabbinic Judaism. Therefore, as above, it accepts philosophic speculation and statements of dogma only to the extent that they exist within, and are compatible with, the system of written and oral Torah. As a matter of practice, Orthodox Judaism lays stress on the performance of the actual commandments. Dogma is considered to be the self-understood underpinning of the practice of the Mitzvot.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hammer|first=Reuven|date=2010|title=Judaism as a System of Mitzvot|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/418281|journal=Conservative Judaism|language=en|volume=61|issue=3|pages=12–25|doi=10.1353/coj.2010.0022|s2cid=161398603 |issn=1947-4717}}</ref>

Owing to this, there is no one official statement of principles. Rather, all formulations by accepted early Torah leaders are considered to have possible validity. Maimonides' 13 principles have been cited by adherents as the most influential: They are often printed in prayer books, and in some congregations, a hymn ([[Yigdal]]) incorporating them is sung on Friday nights or even every morning in some communities.
