GEN742 (Continued from [[LEV731]] Leviticus 19:18 yourself SEFER 50-1). One must make sure to protect another person’s dignity in every possible way.  The Torah deliberately recounted to us the story of Noach, telling us how he became drunk and then exposed, and how his sons Shem and Yefes covered their father in order to save him from embarrassment.  The Torah also records the berachah that Noach subsequently gave Shem and Yefes, and describes how it was eventually fulfilled, to show us the importance of this quality of doing one’s utmost to save another person from humiliation, just as he would do for himself.  SEFER 51
