Judaism is centered on a path to righteous living rooted in the Torah, the 5 books attributed to Moses that make up the Torah and the start of what Christians call the Old Testament. The Jewish tradition identifies 613 mitzvot, commandments or laws given by God to the Children of Israel in the text of the Torah, and traditionally, Jews are defined by their relationship to these mitzvot. Jews generally value faith because it leads to righteous behavior, not because it is a prerequisite for salvation. The study of Jewish ethics grows from the study of how the mitzvot are to be applied in novel circumstances and how to resolve conflicts when obeying one mitzvah might be seen as violating of another.
