Mitzvah #4 - Hashem Ehad; Gcd is One and Unique

It's a Mitzvah to believe that Hashem is One and that He has no partners helping Him run the world.

One must believe that Hashem is One, and He does not have a physical aspect and has no "parts" to His being.

This is a fundamental belief of Judaism.

Applies all the time, to males and females everywhere. One fulfills it every time one thinks about it.

Mitzvah #1 - To Believe that Gcd exists

It's a Mitzvah to believe that Hashem exists and that He created all that exists and continues to supervise all of creation.

This is a fundamental belief of Judaism and one who doesn't believe this is not considered a full-fledged Jew.

This is one of the rare Mitzvoth for which one is required to give up ones life rather than transgress it.

This Mitzvah applies all the time to both males and females. One fulfills it every time one thinks about Hashem's existence.
