History holds a special importance in Judaism. First of all, in Judaism, God is active in the lives of the Hebrews, therefore it is important for the Jews to keep and acknowledge a record of God's interventions. God is timeless and therefore was and will be involved in everything, making it nonsensical to denounce history as unimportant because if God was involved, it must have some significance. History is also has an obvious contextual importance helping to define the Biblical Characters within their place in the chronology of Judaic history (and subsequently what their cause and effect was on the story).
2. In Judaism what is the meaning in morality?
In Judaism, there are 4 areas which are considered to be dangerous in terms of morality. These four zones are force, sex, wealth, and speech. All four are a form of some kind of social interaction and Judaic Law (613 Commandments) aims to monitor these social interactions. If all laws are met, then one would be considered to be 'moral.' Therefore, morality has a large importance in Judaism because God mandates it and it is another way to show devotion.
3. In Judaism what is the meaning of Justice?
Justice in Judaism is defined by God, ultimately. If the people are acting just, they are behaving in a manner which God approves of. Justice can be represented through many ways in Judaism. The prophets imparted justice direct from God to the people, an important deed because it impacted the flow of history depending on whether or not the justice was upheld. God imparted justice as well, straight to the Hebrew People. When nations expanded and imposed their rule upon Jerusalem, the Jews saw it as God administering justice because they had violated the laws.
Justice is given the utmost importance in Judaism as demonstrated through the prophets dealings with kings and unjust rulers of the land as well as the unjust groups of the land. In these conflicts, the just one always prevails, demonstrating that regardless of social class (king, rich, peasant), everyone must adhere to the just ways of the Lord, it is the highest point in the order of hierarchy.
Given this, justice is an extremely important and ever prevalent concept in Judaism.
