"Yigdal" Text: R. Daniel ben Yehudah (Rome, 14th century) Melody: Sephard-Yerushalaim East of the River In this Piyut the author, R. Daniel ben Yehudah, the Judge of Rome, who lived in the 14th century, lists the thirteen Principles of Faith as phrased by Maimonides in his commentary to the Mishnah. The Piyut gained great popularity, was adapted to many different tunes, and incorporated into most traditions. It is generally sung at the end of the prayer service.
