Justice

  1. Look up the word “justice”. Then look up the word “fairness”. How are they the same? How are they different?
  2. The Hebrew word – Tzedakah – is usually translated as “charity”. It actually is related to the word for “justice”. How is charity related to justice?
  3. Have you ever heard of the phrase “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”? It is from the Torah, and is connected to the idea that the punishment should fit the crime. Do you think justice is all punishment, or is there something more to it?
