A rabbi shares a heartbreaking conversation with a father who proudly claimed he never said "no" to his child, revealing how this approach endangers the child's Jewish future. Without boundaries, children cannot develop respect for mitzvot or understand the concept of kedusha (holiness).
• The juxtaposition in Parshas Kedoshim between "be holy" and "respect your parents" is not coincidental
• Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch teaches that holiness emerges from understanding boundaries
• Children who respect parental authority learn to respect divine authority
• Kedusha (holiness) requires separation and boundaries, like a sporting event needs defined borders
• Setting appropriate limits for children prepares them for a meaningful Jewish life
Consider telling yourself and your children "no" at the right times, because Judaism is about special times, places, and things that require boundaries to be meaningful.
