Prophetic Judaism

Social justice-oriented Jewish spirituality following biblical prophets' call for righteousness, compassion, and divine justice in human society. This tradition emphasizes God's concern for the oppressed and believers' responsibility to create just social conditions. Prophetic Judaism sees ritual observance as meaningful only when combined with ethical action, drawing from prophetic literature's critique of empty religious formalism. Modern expressions include Jewish involvement in civil rights, peace movements, and economic justice initiatives as religious obligations.
