>>I never  before noticed it, but Omnipotence and Omniscience are
not in the  Iqarim.<<



>>>>>
WHAT are you talking about?  Omnipotence and omniscience are the  bedrock 
and foundation of the entire set of Ani Ma'amins!
 
from the Koren translation:
1. Hashem creates and rules all creatures, and He alone made, makes,  and 
will make, all things.
 
5.  He is the only one to whom it is proper to pray
 
6.  All the words of the prophets are true.
 
10.  He knows all the deeds of human beings, and all of their  thoughts.
 
11.  He rewards those who keep His commandments and punishes those who  
transgress them.
 
13.  The dead will live again, at a time of the Creator's  choosing.
 
 
It would take such a highly eccentric reading that I can't even fathom it,  
to say that He knows all our deeds and thoughts, but is not necessarily  
omniscient; or that He created everything, answers prayers, rewards and  
punishes, and will bring the dead to life -- but is not necessarily  omnipotent.
