Orthopraxy - Judaism

Judaism

This concept means that the Jewish religion attaches importance to the practice of the laws, the compliance of each of the gestures of daily life with the Torah, and the precepts of Jewish law halakha. But these gestures should be based on the study of commentators from the Talmud and poskim, which transmit a system of values and ethics, allowing the Jews to depart from orthodoxy seen as a simple way of thinking according to established dogmas...

Moreover, certain laws/commandments of the Torah require the acceptance of certain basic beliefs, such as the first and second Positive commandments in Maimonides' Sefer Hamitzvot, which mandate the belief in God and His indivisible unity, or the recitation of the Shema. Thus, describing Judaism solely in orthopraxic terms is not accurate.

Additionally, Maimonides' codification of Jewish law (the Mishneh Torah) contains a section entitled Yesodei HaTorah which delineates the legally required beliefs of Judaism, further bolstering the contention that praxis alone is insufficient.
