The study of available resources in the Jewish tradition shows that ethics in this religion is a highlight. The practical and behavioral aspects of this religion are among the most pragmatic or behavioral religion. Jewish religious sources are full of moral teachings and show different approaches to morality. Among the Jewish moral sources, Talmud has a very important position. Although, many believe that it can not be considered a perfectly moral book, the Deep Dependence of the Jewish Tradition on the Ethical Issues of the Book is far more than allowing us to think about  this doubt. The role of Talmud in the formation of Jewish ethics  should not be monopolized in adding doctrine or teaching to the moral teachings of the Bible or a common interpretation of its ethics. Talmud established a new era in Jewish ethics that has its own characteristics. Although Jewish teachers have always viewed the Bible in shaping morality, Talmud has had a unique role in deepening and expanding moral virtues and developing the concepts of the biblical moral complexity. Perhaps this is why Talmud today has more and more consistent ethical doctrines for the Jews, and this is why it is more to come.
