About this episode
Today's daf is dedicated by Debbie and Yossi Gevir in loving memory of their dear and wonderful friend Alvin Gordon. "Alvin returned his neshama to Hakadosh Baruch Hu on the 25th of Elul. His great wisdom, joy, ahavat ha'adam , love of Yahadut, generosity and humor will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Yehi zichro baruch." What is the difference between fear and honor of parents? One of the obligations of respect is to feed one's parents. Is the financial responsibility also on the child or is one to use the parent's money? Rav Yehuda says it is on the child and Rav Natan bar Oshaya says it is on the parents. Three sources are brought to raise a difficulty with these opinions. If honoring one's parent conflicts with performing a different mitzva , what takes precedence? If a parent or a teacher or a nasi or a king is willing to forego respect for him/herself, can he/she? Is the obligation to respect elders addressing elderly people, Torah scholars, or people who are both elderly and Torah scholars? What are the details of this law?
