How much FEAR OF GOD should you instill in your children? Today we learn that parents give their children wings to bring their mitzvos to heaven. Mother gives the love and father gives the fear. But each must give the right amount. Otherwise the mitzvah bird will be lopsided. (li”n Joar bat Yehuda)
When you make a spontaneous prayer, what’s the first thing you say to God? What’s your final thought? Today we learn that prayer has three integral elements: praise, ask, thanks.
