ספר חסידים 91

Sefer Chasidim · Chapter 91

‹›
  1. 1

    את יראי ה' יכבד באיזה ענין כגון שהיה לו לכבד אב ואם יקום מפניהם ויכבדם ולאחר קומו יחזור וישב אפי' היה בדעתו ללכת שאם ילך לו אז לא יראה שקם לכבודם:

    “But he honoreth them that fear the Lord” (Ps. 15:4). How so? For instance when he needs to show respect to his father and mother let him rise before them and honor them. After he rises let him return and sit down.1Kiddushin 32b. He does this even if he had in mind to go, for if he went it would then not appear that he rose to honor them.
