Respecting parents

שו"תRespecting parents
שאל לפני 2 שנים

Hello Rabbi
I wanted to ask, I smoke and my mother is very disgusted by the above custom and urges me to stop, and in the same matter I study in a Lithuanian yeshiva and I invest most of my time in Talmudic study and my mother wants me to study Halacha studies in the rabbinate track, my question is whether there is an obligation or interest in listening to her about this, and if there is no obligation I would be happy to hear an explanation of what the distinction is between the main mitzvah that a person must set aside his time to honor his parents (feeding him, clothing him, etc.) in which a person is obligated to set aside his time and his will for his parents, for a child to live a life that his parents want him to live in, assuming that there is no obligation for this, in other words why should a person dedicate his day-to-day life to his parents and not to his path, again assuming that there is a difference.

The difference is very large. When it comes to the needs of the parents, there is an obligation to listen to them. When it comes to instructions to you, there is no such obligation (although the Rishonim differed on this in Yevamot 6, but this is my opinion). And when it comes to mitzvot (such as what to learn when studying Torah), there is certainly no obligation to listen. But of course, if you earn a living from your parents and they condition it on you obeying them, then either you give up earning a living from them or you obey them. And if they demand professional training from you, the same applies. See also the articles on disclaimers about honoring parents here on the site.
