Reply To: Helicopters circling my head

Syag- my point is that proper haskafic outlook is as follows:

1) I have no personal insight into what did or did not happen in each business/yeshiva; therefore, i have zero right to look at them negatively. This is the time that the Torah commands us to be dan l’kaf zechus.

2) Have you never, ever in your life done something wrong?

Everyone has, and nobody appreciates others pointing it out to the entire world and judging them. No matter what did or did not transpire, our job is not to make accusations, judments, and critical comments.

Our job is to say that hey, “that’s my brother!” and love them, even IF, and i do say IF, they did something wrong.

(BTW Loving a brother obviously does not mean supporting wrong doing.)

So, what should you daven for your brother that may or may not have done something wrong? Nothing, and everything. Hashem is big enough to come up with exactly the right ending, but we still have to show Hashem that we care for our fellows Jews and trust him to bring about the least painful ending.

Hashem is the ultimate lawyer and judge. Why mix in and offer your ill-placed two cents and try sentencing your brother?
