Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the traditional Jewish perspective to pay taxes. It uses sources from both the Talmud and traditional Jewish law to illuminate this topic. It explores reasons for paying taxes, such as the necessity for following a country’s laws, prohibition of lying, and the requirement to bring dignity to the Jewish people and to maintain individual integrity.
