DEUT1354 [The] demand that we respect each other means, of course, that we must help others to keep them from indignity, but it also has implications for how we do that--namely, that we must do so while preserving the person's dignity as much as possible. The Torah makes this demand: “When you make a loan of any sort to your neighbor, you must not enter his house to seize his pledge. You must remain outside, while the man to whom you made the loan brings the pledge out to you” (Deuteronomy 24:10-11). It is also evident in the Talmud’s demand that “even a poor person who lives entirely on charity must also give charity to another poor person.” (B. Bava Kamma 119a)
