Be honest in your dealings with all people.
There is a time-honored custom dating back to the Geonic period, over 1,000 years ago to study a chapter of Pirkei Avot, Ethics of the Fathers, each Shabbat between Passover and Rosh Hashana. In the first chapter, a judge is admonished to use extreme care when addressing witnesses and litigants, lest they be lead astray and thereby fabricate false testimony. To learn more and broaden your ethical understanding, print out the first chapter of Ethics of the Fathers this afternoon and join thousands of fellow Jews around the globe who will be enjoying an uplifting experience and inspired discussions this Shabbat.
