Detailed explanation-1: -We are called to be just and righteous (Genesis 18:19). Indeed, Judaism sees the maintenance of justice and equity as part of humanity’s universal obligations. The Hebrew Bible’s vision of social justice flows from its teaching regarding the sanctity of all human life and its inalienable dignity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jewish people believe there’s only one God who has established a covenant-or special agreement-with them. Their God communicates to believers through prophets and rewards good deeds while also punishing evil. Most Jews (with the exception of a few groups) believe that their Messiah hasn’t yet come-but will one day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Just indeed: The Hebrew root tz-d-k means “just” or “justice” – and it has indeed only a few main, but very important, forms used in Hebrew throughout the ages. Justice, not just us. The main noun form from this root is tzedek, “justice” (or sometimes, “righteousness").

Detailed explanation-4: -The word tzedakah is based on the Hebrew (, Tzedeq), meaning righteousness, fairness, or justice, and is related to the Hebrew word Tzadik, meaning righteous as an adjective (or righteous individual as a noun in the form of a substantive).
