[Jewish Ethics and its Various Texts] Based on the method of Isaiah Tishby (2) and Joseph Dan (3) , we divide the written works that are typically called Jewish ethics into four main groups: biblical (4) , rabbinic, medieval, and modern. This thematic classification of the Ten Commandments is something that Jewish rabbis later derived from the biblical text as well; namely, the laws related to the relationships between individual human beings and the principles related to the relationship of humans with God. Many of the Torah's laws fall into the first group, and this very matter is considered one of the most important and fundamental factors in Judaism's participation in the Western religious tradition; a tradition based on which, the worship of God is contingent upon having respectful, humane, and ethical relationships with fellow human beings. For both Jewish scholars agree that the principle of creating man in the image of God is the most important and fundamental teaching of the Torah; with the difference that Ben Azzai cited a verse that expresses that very principle, while Akiba presented a verse that contains its clearest ethical consequence. This issue has received special attention in the works of the most important Jewish philosopher of this period, Moses Maimonides, (2) who, in one of his relatively famous books titled Laws of Character Traits, (3) presents a somewhat modified version of Aristotle's theory, known as the "Golden Mean", (4) and considers it the embodiment of the ethical teachings of Judaism.
