40th Day of the Omer

40th Day of the Omer

A certain amount of caution in dealing with people is suggested so that you don’t unwittingly find yourself associated with someone whom you would not want to be connected. But for the most part, Hillel’s saying in the Ethics of the Fathers is considered to be a good rule of thumb to follow in forming as opinion about others: “Do not judge your fellow man until you have stood in his place.” Or, going a step further, Joshua ben Perahyah urged: “Judge everyone with the scale weighted in his favor.”
