Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 127b
תלמוד בבלי מסכת שבת דף קכז עמוד ב
תנו רבנן: הדן חבירו לכף זכות דנין אותו לזכות.
Our rabbis taught: One who judges others favorably, they themselves are judged favorably. [Translation by Areyvut. Edited for gender neutrality]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. What does it mean to judge someone favorably? What does this process entail?

2. Do you judge others favorably? Do we as a community judge others favorably? How would our society be different if we did?

Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
