Dear Rabbi, I am a Ben Noach. 1)If I broke off a little piece of wood from a door of my grandma's house and I managed to glue it, do I have to give her the money to fix it? 2)If I broke my grandma's dish by mistake when I was a child, do I have to give her money or can I assume she forgave me? 3)If, when I was a child, I broke a small glass table of my mothers friend do I have to give him money for the damage or can I assume that he forgave me? In general, when you break someone's item and he knows it, and he doesn't ask for money can one assume that he doesn't want it? Kind regards.

Very nice questions, for a personality is really expressed through the details and seemingly "small" questions! 1. If you glued the damage in an acceptable way, it's no problem. 2.-3. Children are not responsible monetarily for their actions, although their parents must obviously educate them to be careful in the best possible way. Accordingly, you are not liable for damage which you caused as a child. 4. In general, you must initiate paying for any damage which you caused (as an adult) for it may be uncomfortable for the other person to ask for the money, but in a case which is disputed, the one who suffered the damage is the one who issues the claim, and the burden of proof is upon him as to the amount owed.
