Dosn’t the Halakhic legitimation to leaving your parents to study Torah or to wed that so would be in our case of self-fulfillment.

Question

David Brooks

x

This is an exception that illustrate the rule. Eg, the Halachik debate about leaving one’s parents to move to Israel proves my point.

Answer

Rav Twerski

תגובה אחת
  • x

    Not necessarily. To forego a significant
    career move can create frustration and
    anger and create a boomerang effect on
    the parents/child relationship

    Contradict

    David Brooks

x

, The relationship between parents and children has changed substantially from the ancient times to today. Children today need a bigger “buffer zone” as is satirically illustrated in Seinfeld episode14

Contradict

רות קלדרון

x

While Only extreme circumstances would cause a child to leavehis parents in ancient times. ucurrent data of the US Census Bureau, approximately 80% of American children will find work away from their hometowns.

Proof

אלגרה גודמן

x

The story of Abraham, who left his parents to go to israel supports  רות קלדרון 's position.

Contradiction

Rav Twerski

x
