Crime is a reality in every society. Many Jews believe that if a person breaks one of the Ten Commandments they should be punished by society, just as they will be punished by God.

Judaism teaches that war is sometimes necessary in self-defence in order to bring about peace. Forgiveness is a duty, or a mitzvah in Judaism and is mentioned in the Torah. Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is therefore one of the most important days in the Jewish calendar.

Every religion has its own way of explaining human suffering and the concept of evil. Many Jews believe evil originates from the first sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
