Fifth Commandment by Rabbi Johnny Ouzzan

everybody knows that the fifth of the ten commandments is to honor one's parents and there are only two places in the Torah where it tells us that if we follow the mitzvot we will earn long life and one of those two mitzvahs is honoring one's father and one's mother so I just want to share that for those of us who are fortunate to have our parents among the living it's a mitzvah worth thinking about and accomplishing to the best of our abilities and even if your parents are not living in the same city as you are we're so privileged to have with technology today you have Skype via FaceTime just picking up the phone there are so many ways to make them feel special and to really just be grant and grateful and express gratitude for just the fact that they brought us into this world that is enough of a reason to just pick up the phone and wish them a great day have a great Shabbat
