Our Parsha continues Moshe’s final address to Jewish people. He tells the Jewish people the law of Ben Sorer Umoreh - a rebellious and wayward son.

A Ben Sorer Umoreh is a boy at the specific age of 12 and a half years old who is extremely disobedient and violates certain unique and strange conditions.

Some of these conditions are stealing money to buy special wine and meat and many other unusual requirements.

If the boy actually meets all the conditions required to be a Ben Sorer Umoreh, he is put to death by stoning at the city gates.

We find out the details behind Ben Sorer Umoreh - a rebellious and wayward son.
