SPECIAL DOUBLE
PORTION L'KAVOD SHABBOS KODESH
Halachos
for Erev Shabbos Kodesh
1)It is prohibited to contradict a
parent. (Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Siman 240:2)
If a
parent has a verbal disagreement with another person, and the child
tells the other person "I concur with your view", it is considered
contradicting the parent and is prohibited. (Shach Yoreh Deah
240:2)
2)
According to some Poskim this prohibition is only in the presence of the
parent. Other Poskim, however, maintain that even not in the presence
of the parent it is prohibited. (See Shach and Taz ibid. and
Biur HaGra 240:3)
Halachos
for Shabbos Kodesh
1) If the issue at hand is
in a Torah discussion and the son has clear proofs against the opinion
of the parent, many Poskim allow the son to contradict the father, even
in his presence (respectfully of course) (See
Chazon Ish Even HaEzer Siman 47 Dibur HamaschilV'Lo Soser
Es D'Varav. See also Sefer Be'er Sheva to Sanhedrin 110)
Of
course, if the parent asks the child for their view, there is no
prohibition against giving it. (See Aruch HaShulchan 242:23)
2)
If a parent says something, it isn't respectful, and thus prohibited,
for a child to say "I agree, it seems that what you are saying is
right", as a parent doesn't need the [unsolicited] approval or consent
of a child to validate what they are saying. (Shulchan Aruch
Yoreh Deah Siman 240:2)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest
on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting
topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the
Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to
questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my
own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
If a Yahrtzeit is on Shabbos, should the person daven
from the amud on shabbos?
Answer:
The accepted custom is
to daven Musaf on the Shabbos preceding the Yahrtzeit that
comes out in the following week. If the Yahrtzeit is actually on
Shabbos, the Minhag is to daven Musaf that Shabbos, but not Shacharis.
It is also important to get an Aliyah to the Torah. Since
these customs do vary from Shul to Shul and from community
to community it is best to discuss with the Rav and/or Gabbai of your
particular Shul.
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל
יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות
אלא הלכות -
one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in
Olam Haba - the world to come. (Talmud
Niddah 73a)
