Ce que le judaïsme enseigne sur La colère et la fureur
Selon le judaïsme, La colère et la fureur : Péché.
Le judaïsme considère la colère comme extrêmement dangereuse. Le Talmud enseigne que quiconque se met en colère est comme s'il avait servi des idoles, car dans un moment de rage, la présence de Dieu se retire. Maïmonide enseignait que la colère est un trait de caractère extrêmement mauvais qu'une personne doit éviter totalement.

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.
