This week, we studied the following two newlaws of Yir’ah for parents and teachers:Halacha XVIINot to Start Eating Before a Parent or Teacher,Unless Permission Has Been GivenIn general, it is polite to show this deferenceto all people, especially your host.Halacha XVIIINot To Leave the Presence of a Parent or TeacherWithout PermissionYour Derech Updates will give you muchmore than the above skeletal descriptions.Appeal (No Requested)As we’ve stated and written many times, to makeProject Derech effective, we need home/schoolcollaboration. This means that, if we hope to see animprovement in the respect our youngsters show usand their Mechanchim, we, as mothers and fathers,must: Read the Derech Updates. Discuss the weekly precept. Answer our sons’ and daughters’ questions aboutthe Halacha. Practice the laws. Be consistent in applying them.We thank you for working with us in this vitalendeavor.From the Kadmah Card Archivescame off the trampoline on Shabbos, eventhough her friends wanted to stay.listened to her parents and cleaned up a messthat wasn’t hers!ran to the dinner table right away after beingasked one time only!When asked to do something, often says “ofcourse” and does it right away.Hope you have easy fasts!Good Shabbos!Rabbi Yitzchak CharnerHeadmaster

It is a mitzvah of Yirah not to eat before our parent or teacher starts eating. . ( )( ) . Reverence dictates that a child should wait for his parents to eat first before hehimself starts eating. (Derech Eretz dictates that one refrain from eating first in thepresence of his host.) However, one may eat before his parent (or host) begins ifpermission has been granted.Since parental expectations in this area of observance are prone to beinconsistent, it is recommended that parents discuss with their children the variouspossibilities that arise during the course of a typical meal. For example: Children are expected to wait for both father and mother to eat first,unless the parents deem otherwise. This may apply to all courses (entrée, main course, dessert) – if theparents so prefer. If a parent is called away before starting a course, he may give permissionto begin eating in his absence; if the parent forgot to do so, the children mayask permission to begin. (See other examples below.)In the presence of elders, one should not serve himself first from a center platternor partake first from individually served portions (even fruit). (Mishnah Berurah12:28)A student should not slouch before his Rebbe Muvhak, (even at the PassoverSeder), but should sit as one sits before a king. (Yorah Deah 242:16)****Though Reb Yaakov (Kaminetsky) Zt’l was rarely critical of others’ behavior, a failure toshow proper Derech Eretz was one thing for which he often gave instruction.Once, on a visit to his cousin Rabbi Ruderman, the latter’s nephew, Ezra Neuberger,served Reb Yaakov – as the older of the two – his tea first. Though in the middle of a seriousdiscussion, Reb Yaakov immediately pushed the young man’s hand in the direction of RabbiRuderman, with the admonition that he must always serve his Rebbe first.(continued on side 2) .Mitzvah Note/Kadmah CardI reviewed the halacha of “not eating before a parent or teacher ” with:(student’s name) GradeParents’ Signature:

TEST YOUR CHILD!1. What does waiting for a parent or elder to eat firstshow?2. When may a child eat first in the presence of elders?3. How should a student sit in front of his teacher?WHAT SHOULD YOU SAY?You are at the dinner table with your parent:1. Your parent is talking to guests and has not yetstarted to eat. Your soup is getting cold.2. Your parent is called to the phone before starting toeat.3. You have a guest who has started to eat before yourparents have starting eating.

When in the immediate presence of our parent or teacher, it is a Mitzvah of Yir’ah not to leavewithout permission. ( ) ( - ) ( ) : In the story of Noach (Bereishees 8:16), it is written: And Hashem spoke to Noachsaying, “Leave the Teivah (ark).” Although Noach surely was anxious to leave (see Yalkut) and hadevery indication that this was the correct time to leave, he said, “Just as I entered only withpermission, so must I leave only with permission.” From here we learn that being in another’sdomain demands certain etiquette. This applies especially to a child who is in the domain of hisparent or a student in the domain of his teacher.In a similar vein, it should be noted that one may not sit in the presence of an importantperson without permission. This applies especially to a Rebbe Muvhak (teacher from whom onegained the most Torah knowledge) or Talmid Chacham Muflag (eminent Torah scholar of thegeneration). Furthermore, when leaving their immediate presence, one should not turn his backto the Rabbi, but, rather, back away (about 4 Amos or 8 feet) just as one does for an Aron Kodesh.****Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz, ZT’L, Rosh Yeshiva of Kaminetz, was very meticulous in the Mitzvah ofhonor towards parents. His father, Rav Shmuel, was a great Torah scholar, who liked to come hear his son’sdiscourses. When the time for the lecture would arrive, the students would sit in their places, awaiting theirRebbe. The door would open, and the form of Rav Boruch Ber would appear at the door. All the discipleswould stand up in honor of the Rav, and they would look at him respectfully.Rav Boruch Ber would not go to his usual place right away, but would first turn to his father andgreet him. Then he would ask his father humbly, “Dear Tatta, please permit me to give my Shiur (lecture) tothe students.” The father would smile and nod. Only then, after receiving permission from his father, wouldRav Boruch Ber go to his place and begin to speak.After the lecture, Rav Boruch Ber would not leave immediately. Instead, he would go over to hisfather and ask, lowering his head, “Tatta Dear, did I teach the Shiur well?”The more the students witnessed such Kibud Av V’eim, the more they respected him.(continued on side 2) .Mitzvah Note/Kadmah CardI reviewed the halacha of “not leaving a parent’s or teacher’s presence without permission” with:(student’s name) GradeParents’ Signature:

TEST YOUR CHILD!1. Define ‘immediate presence.” Give examples.2. Name other people whose presence you would not leavewithout permission. Why?3. May one sit in the presence of an important person withoutpermission?4. In what manner does one leave the presence of a RebbeMuvhak or a Talmid Chacham Muflag?WHAT SHOULD YOU SAY? . Your teacher is speaking to you privately. Theconversation has just ended. . You are eating dinner with your parent. You want to get anote from your schoolbag. . You are in the middle of a conversation with your parentwhen the telephone or doorbell rings.
