Page "Judaism" Paragraph 84

Jewish ethics may be guided by halakhic traditions, by other moral principles, or by central Jewish virtues.

Jewish ethical practice is typically understood to be marked by values such as justice, truth, peace, loving-kindness ( chesed ), compassion, humility, and self-respect.

Specific Jewish ethical practices include practices of charity ( tzedakah ) and refraining from negative speech ( lashon hara ).

Proper ethical practices regarding sexuality and many other issues are subjects of dispute among Jews.
