1. G-d exists. 
2. G-d is one and unique. 
3. G-d has no flesh. 
4. G-d is eternal. 
5. Prayers are to be directed to G-d and no one else. 
6. The words of the prophets are true. 
7. Moses’ prophecy is greater than all other prophets. 
8. The written and oral Torah were given to Moses. 
9. There will be no other Torah. 
10. G-d knows the thoughts and deeds of people. 

* Judaism does not have a single creed that all Jews believe in. A famous rabbi, Maimonides, listed 13 articles of faith in his commentary on the Mishnah in the Middle Ages. There was controversy when he proposed these articles, but eventually they became accepted as normative. Since this is a Top 10 list, I had to exclude the last three from the list above. The last three get honorable mention here: 11) G-d will reward the good and punish the wicked, 12) The messiah will come, and 13) The dead will be resurrected.
