Who Is a Jew?
Question
Hello Rabbi Michi!
What is the difference between a Jew who fulfills the commandment of honoring parents and a non-Jew who honors his parents?
Is it connected to the Jew’s divine command, or to the laws related to the commandment of honoring parents?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. Please explain what you mean. What difference are you asking about in reality? What value difference? What is the connection to the laws? Does it depend on the intention of the Jew and the non-Jew?
