Abstract
<jats:p>The article examines the theological and legal foundations of the values of human life and honor in Judaism. The study analyzes the principles related to the sanctity of human life in the Torah, the Talmud, and rabbinic literature, and clarifies the ethical implications of the doctrine that human beings are created in the image of God. The article also discusses the principle of protecting human life based on the commandment “Thou shalt not kill,” as well as issues related to the preservation of human dignity and moral responsibility in society. Furthermore, the study analyzes the norms of Jewish law (Halakha) aimed at protecting human life, including the prohibition of murder and restrictions concerning the humiliation of a person’s dignity and public disgrace. The results of the study show that human life and honor are regarded as supreme values in the Jewish tradition and that these principles occupy an important place in the religious and ethical system.</jats:p>
