Judaism has teachings and guidance for its adherents through the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic literature relating to the notion and concept of peace. The precepts of peacefulness and compassion are paramount in Judaism,[1][2] Judaism also contains a number of doctrines which eschew violence.[3][4][5][6] However, while Judaism condemns normative violence, it is not categorically pacifist.[7]
