The Basics of Judaism: Basic Values and Morality: Judging People:
What attitude should we have toward people?
The Rabbis tell us to judge everyone favorably
(Avos 1:6) and to greet everyone with a smile
(Avos 1:15). In effect, everyone should be presumed
innocent until proved guilty, and everyone should
be given the benefit of the doubt.
