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.
