Meno: “Unless you’re a Jew and you have good reason to believe that the other person is also a Jew.”

Ditto. It’s a basic part of being a good Jew. Just for the record, I am not losing any sleep over it, although, if I were Rav Shach Zatsal or Rav Shlom Zalman Auerbach Zatsal, I would be.

Rav Shach had a hard time eating breakfast every morning because he was thinking of all the Yiddishe kinderlach who were starting their day w/o saying Shema. And Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach lost sleep worrying about a boy he didn’t know whose grandfather was concerned about the fact that he was being sent to a less Frum school than he could have been.

I’m not on that level and not pretending to be. But I think that feeling and expressing some concern over a fellow Jew is the least I can do for them.
