Zie a Mensch

Rabbi Israel of Rizhin once asked a student how many sections there were in the Shulchan Arukh, the Code of Jewish Law.  The student replied, “Four.”  “What,” asked the Rizhiner, “do you know about the fifth section?”  But there is no fifth section,” said the student.  “There is,” said the Rizhiner.  “It says:  always treat a person like a Mensch.”
