Judaism is not a pacifist religion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What does pacifism mean in Judaism? - War and peace - GCSE Religious Studies Revision |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/znpykqt/revision/7 |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=BBC Bitesize |language=en-GB}}</ref> However, the concept of ''[[Tikkun olam]]'' (Repairing the World) is central to modern [[Rabbinic Judaism]]. ''Tikkun Olam'' is accomplished through various means, such as ritualistically performing God's commandments, charity, and social justice, as well as through example persuading the rest of the world to behave morally. According to some views, ''Tikkun Olam'' would result at the beginning of the [[Messianic Age]]. It has been said that in every generation, a person is born with the potential to be the spiritual [[Mashiach|Messiah]]. If the time is right for the Messianic Age within that person's lifetime, then that person will be the [[Messiah in Judaism|Mashiach]]. But if that person dies before he completes the mission of the Messiah, then that person is not the Messiah (Mashiach).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jewfaq.org/mashiach.htm|title=Judaism 101: Mashiach: The Messiah}}</ref>

Specifically, in [[Jewish messianism]] it is considered that at some future time a ''Messiah'' (literally "an anointed King appointed by God") will rise up to bring all Jews back to the [[Land of Israel]], and to establish God's Torah, followed by everlasting global peace and prosperity.<ref>Rambam, [[Mishneh Torah]], Hilkhot Melachim, ch. 11–12</ref> This idea originates from passages in the [[Hebrew Bible]] and the [[Talmud]].
{{blockquote|For Torah will go forth from Zion and the Word of HaShem from Jerusalem. And He will judge between the nations and decide disputes for many peoples, and they will beat their [[Swords to plowshares|swords into plowshares]] and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift the sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.|{{bibleref|Isaiah|2:3-4|JPS}}}}
