Parents: Honor and Reverence

The girl in the commercial intentionally embarrasses her mother in public by interrupting a conversation between her mother and another mom and then contradicting her mother's words to the other mom. It makes me cringe. I am so happy to be the beneficiary of wisdom and guidance that can outline the child-parent relationship in a way that feels good and right and proper and constructive. In this series we'll explore some of the brilliant nuances of Jewish wisdom pertaining to that relationship, specifically referring to the relationship between middle-aged adults and they elderly parents. We'll also explore aspects of how that relationship continues and is expressed after the parent has passed. And much more.
