Ethics in Judaism

Ethics in Judaism centers on living a moral life guided by principles in the Torah and Talmud. It emphasizes justice, compassion, honesty, and respect for others, reflecting the belief that moral conduct is a way to fulfill one’s relationship with God and humanity. Key concepts include “Tikkun olam” (repairing the world) and treating others as oneself, promoting social responsibility and kindness. Jewish ethics shape daily behavior and community laws, encouraging individuals to act with integrity and prioritize the common good within a framework of divine commandments and moral reflection.
