“The question of the unity of values”
We began discussing the moral struggles within humanity, focusing on the conflict rooted in the question: Who is at the center? Man or God? We found that Judaism provides a solution to this question. There are other issues as well, such as moral issues. Let's read : "Another ethical issue that disturbs the moral peace of human beings is the question of the unity of values. The perfect solution to reconcile values seemingly contradictory has yet to be found." The question that arises sharply is the relationship between compassion and justice. While Christianity bequeathed to the world that compassion, and only compassion, is the exclusive moral value, as reflected in all areas of Western culture.
On the other hand, Islam consistently adopts the preference for strict justice in all its extremities as the will of God. So, according to these religions, the answer is either mercy or judgment. Here, too, Judaism comes to the aid of humanity. The biblical and Talmudic traditions teach a path that practically reconciles the unity of values. The supreme moral ideal is "righteousness and justice," as the Book of Genesis states. The practical realization of this unity is evident both in the wars of the State of Israel (despite all the accusations against it) and in the political and social fabric. In a country characterized by fair treatment of a hostile minority within it, we have succeeded in uniting mercy with justice.
This is yet another message of Judaism for humanity.
