Alright, Khavrap Heliyo, it's day 153. Today is Thursday. New topic, new o's. We're up to letter chaf. Unbelievable. We're now more than halfway through the letters of the Alphase, which is just um amazing. Okay, so the topic today is the topic of honoring one's parents. Here we go, Kibudov Aim. We are all aware that there's a great obligation to honor and respect parents. Shehishva Kosov Kudamhudamakum. The Torah likens the respect that we have to have for parents to the respect that we have for Hashem. The Mizalzo ki bhodim godol avono and how uh it's a big sin if we disrespect. In our times, people are so sinful, and the children are much more rampant and audacious way. Um it's become something that's insignificant, the concept of honoring parents. Allah Shemarbim Lavar al Daitam, what do they do? They go against their wishes. Vyeshibanam Shli Simishamazam Bechwidematish. Some children they cause their parents such anguish. And it causes the parents to their teeth to be weakened because they're like grinding their teeth. Well, the Praha Isha Yuri says Shabit Subhavitz mod vahu meyasir is bonov. Especially true when there's a parent who actually fears Hashem and he desires his commandments and he wants his children to go on that path. And when the child doesn't go on that path, it pains them. It's so bitter. Woe was to the sons who caused this suffering. Oya Lahem Aha Allem. And it causes tremendous grief and distress. For having transgressed the wishes of his have Shem, Vyamash over Al Dasav Imobitzar Sam, And for having gone against the wishes of one's parents. Sorry, Laviv Bain Xio, somebody will also be punished for that which he caused his father to become angry. Uh Via Shu Memer Loyoazon for this that he is um he's uh considered a rebellion. The son will taste the fruits of the sinful actions in this world. And um he'll be faced negmida with his children. Shemida Knegan Mida, Lobitela, the current chemist Lamba. Admittedly, I mean, these are strong words from the Paleoites. Um he's gonna say a line here that I think is just important. Let's get to it. The respect to one's parents, the obligation to do so is very chamur, ad sholo, call adam yochalte side chabakurai, to the degree that you can't really satisfy the obligation to the utmost way. The Gemara says, fortunately there's somebody who's an orphan on some level, because if somebody who has parents, he's not going to be able to actually fulfill it properly. Again, these are powerful, um, strong uh words. I will call them chaivlasos. Like we say time and again with the pallio. Sometimes we talk about ideals, sometimes we make strong points, but it comes down, calladom chaivlasos a shrubakhilasos. Every person has to do the best that he can. If you're a parent, do the best that you can. You're a son, do the best that you can. Um, veloya abirat maladas, don't just intentionally give up. It's true, we say father who forgoes his honor, his honor is forgiven. And this is certainly the way most parents act. They forgive their children, um, you know, for any slights to their honor. They call makum nenash bedin' shmaim still, um, they're going to be held accountable. Uh, from heaven's sake, Al Sha ofer Ahmed, because they're going against Hashem's command. We learned from Yaakov. Right? For 22 years he didn't attend his father, right? Because he was, yeah, he was learning, but he didn't attend his father, and so he's knacked all the way for that. The Yosapatik Niskatushnasha Vinovishadik Yosh Vatik was held accountable because the brother said, Our father, your servant, and Yosef didn't like speak up. Um, this matter is especially relevant because even if a father does forgive a child, um, you know, disrespect, the father's disgrace, his pain is still that that is still not forgiven. Because physical pain is not subject um to be forgiven. Okay, so Mr. Shem tomorrow will pick up with this topic of Kiberabaim from the words Hine Kichein, wishing you all the best. And remember, try the best. Do the best that you can. That's all Hashem asks from us.
