Judaism is egalitarian and values all individuals, both men and women. The wealthy have no privileges; and the poor are valued, treated well and their opinions listened to. (Compare this to those societies in which only mature, land-owning males had any legal status.)
Judaism applied laws, and rules of moral behavior, to all its members equally. The laws of Moses form much of Western legal background.
Quote:
"I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation ... fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations" (John Adams, 2nd President of the United States).
"Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights, but we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality before the law, both Divine and human; of the sanctity of life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and of collective conscience, and social responsibility" (Paul Johnson, Christian historian, author of A History of the Jews and A History of Christianity).
Mosaic law refers to the religious laws in the Hebrew Bible, primarily found in the Torah. Canadian laws are the legal statutes and regulations governing the country of Canada, which are based on a combination of common law, civil law, and Indigenous legal systems. While there may be some similarities in principles, Mosaic law is specific to religious practices in ancient Israel, whereas Canadian law is the legal framework for governing a modern nation.
The long, rich history of Judaism gives the Western world much of its shape today (not just Canada). Many of the laws, traditions, culture and values are directly attributable to Judaism.Link: History of Judaism
