Human Dignity (ABRIDGED VERSION)

While it is nice and ever proper to show everyone, even strangers, some basic respect, the basis of that respect differs greatly between Jews and others - especially those who do not believe in a God. Judaism goes to great lengths not to disrespect a person, and legislates against disrespecting anyone, including sinners. For the same reason, it is forbidden in Judaism for people to disrespect or harm themselves. Listen to the podcast to find out why and how.
