A Son Honors His Father

60) “A son honors his father, and a servant his master.” “A son honors his father,” as it is written, “Honor thy father and thy mother,” honor with food and drink and with everything. This is his duty in life. After he dies, if you say that he is exempt from honoring, it is not so. Even though he died, he is even more obliged to honor, as it is written, “Honor thy father” even after his death. And if that son takes the wrong path, he certainly dishonors his father, and certainly causes him disgrace. And if that son takes the right path and corrects his deeds, this certainly honors his father—honors him in this world, among people, and honors him in the next world, with the Creator. And the Creator has mercy on him and places him on His throne. Certainly, “A son honors his father.”

61) Like Rabbi Elazar, who honored his father in this world and in that world, now he increased the merit of Rabbi Shimon in both worlds, in this world and in the next world even more than during his life, for he has been rewarded with holy sons and holy races. Happy are the righteous who are rewarded with holy sons and holy races. It is said about them, “All who see them will recognize them for they are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed,” Amen.
