The Hebrew word for "peace," shalom, is related to the Hebrew word that means whole or perfect, shalem. This suggests that there is a relationship between peace and wholeness. Judaism values peace very highly, prioritizing it over nearly everything else, as is reflected in biblical, rabbinic, liturgical, ethical, and legal texts.
