Dvar Torah

COMMANDMENT #5: "Honor your father and mother."
Question: The first tablet contains laws of בין אדם למקום between man and Hashem  and The second tablet is a list of בין אדם לחבירו between one person and another. It would seem that is should be on the first tablet, is Commandment #5 - honoring parents -on the wrong tablet!
Answer: The example par excellence of the relationship we have with God is the parent-child relationship. It is based purely on gratitude. With God, it is abstract; with parents it's concrete. Parents brought you into the world and changed your diapers! They bought you food, clothes, and toys and stayed up when you were ill. If we don't honor our parents, how will we be able to transfer this respect to our Creator?
The transmission of our tradition is only possible out of respect for the previous generation. They are one link closer to the source! All Jewish tradition is based on this.
