Parents’ Educational Obligation
Question
Hello Rabbi,
What are the parameters of the educational obligation that rests on parents from a halakhic standpoint today, when there is a compulsory education system? Torah study and Judaism?
Thank you very much.
Answer
I did not understand the question. The education system does not replace the parents’ obligation. They are the parents’ agents. Nothing has changed in the obligation of education.
