Scenario H --- Respect

for Law: There have always been laws such as taxes and permits which we would like to ignore. However, Jewish tradition has always demanded good citizenship, which requires following fair laws and showing regard for the decision -making process of the community in which we live. ``The law of the state is the law.'' (Talmud, Gitten 10b) However, this does not demand blind obedience to the community's laws where they are in conflict with other ethical values.
