Summary/Abstract: The article explores the Jewish contribution to the Western Tradition in the age of secularization, the clash of cultures and the search for a united Europe, based on the principles of human values and public policy. Following the path of Jewish though from the Biblical period through the Middle Ages up to Modernity, it emerges, that the Right to Life, the Right to Equality and Difference and the Right to Freedom, are the basic principles, which constitute the common heritage of Judaism and Europe.
