[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה קל"ו - אַל תָּדִין אֶת חֲבֵרְךָ עַד שֶׁתַּגִּיעַ לִמְקוֹמוֹ]
אָבִי שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם, עָזְרֵנִי וְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי, שֶׁאֶזְכֶּה לָדוּן אֶת כָּל הָאָדָם לְכַף זְכוּת, אֲפִלּוּ הַחוֹלְקִים עָלַי וְעַל צַדִּיקֵי אֱמֶת וְהַמְבַזִּין אוֹתָם, בְּכֻלָּם אֶזְכֶּה לִמְצֹא זְכוּת וְטוֹב.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Judging Others Favorably*
A person must judge all people favorably, finding merit and good even in those who engage in disputes against him and against the true Tzaddikim.
There must be great unity and peace among Jews. Those who cause dispute and oppose truth should repent of their hatred and dispute, and instead seek truth. But some people do not desire peace and do not want to return to truth. Eventually God will overcome them and lower them to the dust, so that they will fall and not rise.
**Finding Merit in Those Who Engage in Dispute**
My Father in Heaven, help me judge every person favorably, even those who engage in disputes against me and against true Tzaddikim, to the extent of insulting them. May I find merit and good in all of these people.
