Reply To: Classics and Beyond Nasso — Talking to Yourself: Rabbi Avraham Bukspan

There is a story where there was a grandfather, father and son. The father fed his father in a wooden plate figuring that a china plate he might break. When the grandfather passed on, the father want it to throw out. So the son said, father don’t throw it out as we need it for you. The Rav Abarbanel explains on honoring the parent, the children will follow how the father behaves towards his father. If the father honors his father, his children will honor him.
