One should be very careful in honoring one's parents as the Torah compares honoring one's parents to honoring Hashem. [1]There's two parts to this mitzvah: 1)Honoring one's parents (Kibud Av V'Em) and 2) Having awe for one's parents (Moreh Av V'Em)
Honoring one's parents
- Including in honoring one's parents is feeding, dressing, and helping them walk. When one is doing such an activity, one should do it with a smile. [2]
- One must stand before one's mother and father[3] unless they forgo this honor.[4]
- If one sees one's parent do a sin, one shouldn't say "you sinned" but rather "father, doesn't it say in Torah such and such?" in a question form and the parent will understand and not be embarrassed. [5]
- If one's parents tells them to violate a Biblical or even a rabbinic prohibition, one shouldn't listen to one's parent.[6]
Having awe for one's parents
- One shouldn't stand in the place where one's father usually stands to daven or sit in the place he usually sits at home.[7]
- One may not contradict his words or even say that one agrees with his words in front of him. [8]
