Shalom - My Jewish Learning
Shalom - My Jewish Learning
Along with truth and justice, peace is among the most hallowed Jewish values. "He who establishes peace between man and his fellow, between husband and wife, between two cities, two nations, two families or two governments no harm should come to him" (Mekhilta Bahodesh 12). Peace was the ultimate purpose of the whole Torah: "All that is written in the Torah was written for the sake of peace" (Tanhuma Shofetim 18). The three values were harmonized “"By three things the world is preserved, by justice, by truth, and by peace, and these three are one: if justice has been accomplished, so has truth, and so has peace" (JT Ta'anit 4:2). Here, not only is peace made among men, but also the competing values are reconciled.
