0:00 I hereby believe with complete faith in the thirteen principles. There was a story of a chassid, once, 300 years ago, who had businesses and success in all kinds of things. And he lost his wealth and did not know why. They told him from Heaven: all this is because you were not careful to say the 13 principles. How important it is to say the thirteen principles, the principles of faith. Whoever does not believe in this, is disqualified. I hereby believe with complete faith in the three principles of the holy Torah: that the Holy One, blessed be He, exists and watches over all - true!

0:24 And He is One - true! And He has no body and no likeness of a body - true! And He precedes all that came first - true! And there is no worship of any besides Him - true! And He knows the thoughts of people - true! And the prophecy of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him - true! And that the Torah was given from Heaven - true! And that it will never change, Heaven forbid - true! And that the Holy One, blessed be He, punishes the wicked - true! And pays good reward to the tzaddikim - true! And that King Mashiach will come - true! And the dead are destined to live again - true! Ten remembrances that a person is obligated to remember: the Exodus from Egypt - we remember. Shabbos - we remember.

0:45 The manna that came down to Israel - we remember. The standing at Mount Sinai - we remember. How our fathers angered You in the desert, and especially with the Calf - we remember. What Balak and Bilaam plotted to do to our fathers, 'so that you may know the righteous acts of Hashem' - we remember. The incident of Miriam the prophetess - we remember. The mitzvah 'And you shall remember Hashem your G-d, for it is He who gives you strength to prosper' - we remember. And the remembrance of Jerusalem - may it be built and established speedily in our days, amen. The incident of Amalek: 'I will surely blot out the memory of Amalek from under the heavens' - do not forget.
