Lo que el judaísmo enseña sobre La ira y la cólera
Según el judaísmo, La ira y la cólera se considera Pecado.
El judaísmo considera la ira sumamente peligrosa. El Talmud afirma que quien se enoja es como si sirviera a ídolos, porque en un momento de furia la presencia de Dios se aparta. Maimónides enseñó que la ira es un rasgo extremadamente malo que conviene evitar por completo.

Judaism treats anger as one of the most destructive character traits. The Talmud's statement that anger is equivalent to idolatry is striking — the reasoning is that an angry person has lost their connection to God's wisdom and is ruled by their impulses instead. Maimonides went further than most, teaching that a person should train themselves not to become angry even over things that genuinely justify anger. This is one of the rare cases where Judaism demands almost total eradication of a trait. The exception is righteous anger — anger at genuine injustice, expressed proportionally and for the right reasons. Even then, Maimonides advised that such anger should appear as anger without truly consuming the person internally.
