שיעור א- כיבוד אב ואם
2 פסוקים- כבד את אביך ואת אמיך.... respect
איש אמו ואביו תיראו.... fear
It says ���אביךbefore אמיך in 1st פסוקbecause you tend to respect your mom more
and to make it equal they put אביך first.
It�s the same for the 2nd פסוק, you tend to fear your father then your mother so
to equal it out they put mom 1st.
מורא- DO NOTS
כבוד- DOS
דמא בן נתִנָה- Rabbis come to buy gems for אֵפוֺד, dad was sleeping and the key
was under the pillow, he didn�t want to wake up his father, and lost a lot of $.
Year later he gets a פָרָה אָדוּמָה.
Mom (she is crazy) comes to shul and spits in his face, he just stands there and
didn�t do anything because he didn�t want to embarrass his mother. Got a reward
שָכָר.
If son/daughter give food to parent in not a nice way (�take it you stupid old
fart!!!�) he doesn�t get a reward even though he did a mitzvah. The only way you
get a mitzvah is the way you give it to the parents.
מִשֵל אָב מִשֵל בֵן- Do/can you get a mitzvah for giving your parents $ for
צדקה? YES!! You get a mitzvah.
If parent is sick you pay the medications, hospital, etc. from their $. If
parent doesn�t have $ and you have $- you should spend you own. If both (you and
parent) don�t have $- פָטוּד (exempt) from mitzvah.
רבי משה סולובייצ'יק- if parent lives far, can you use parents $??? To make the
mitzvah easier- you are NOT allowed.
Is adopted child have to do כיִבוּד? Yes only if was adopted when he was small.
Step child- only if natural parent is still alive- MUST do כיִבוּד. If natural
parent dies he is NOT חייב.
שיעור ב- כיבוד אב ואם
If parent tells you to מֵחָלל Shabbat or any mitzvah you
are not obligated to listen to them.
Kid wants to go study torah in ישראל and parents don�t want him to, are you
allowed NOT to listen to them- YES! Do you get a punishment- NO!!! Because
studying torah is a bigger mitzvah the כיִבוּד.
Kid is going out with a boy/girl and parents don�t like him/her- you don�t have
to listen. Only for a religious reason you must listen to your parents.
רשב''ץ says that כיִבוּד over rules studying in ישראל. If parents want kid to
come back you have to listen BUT on one condition that you have in mind you go
back (על מֵנָת לָחזוֺר)
Can you put parent in nursing home � YES.

שיעור ד-צדקה
How is person supposed to give צדקה? - In a nice way (בסֵבֵר פָנִים יָפוֹת)
רמב״ם- wrote משנה תורה
8 levels to give צדקה:
1. Give them a job or loan to get them back on their feet
2. Give צדקה - you don�t know the person who is getting
3. you know the poor person- poor person doesn�t know you
4. poor knows you- you don�t know poor
5. giving it to save the guy�s embarrassment
6. regular (hand to hand)
7. in a nice way
8. reluctantly (like an ass)
Person should give צדקה to person in the same town/city (עָנִיֵי עירְךָ קודֶמֶת
עָנײ עיר אחרתִ). Person give to relative is better than person from another
town/city.
Person shouldn�t spend so much in Shabbat if it would make them in debt. You
should spend a little less (try to make it fancy)
