In the laws of Mamrim - not to rebel. Thus he first teaches that who cursed a Parent , chas vesholom , is put to death or punished with lashes.

The Power of Small Talk

In Brochos 3a , where the Gemara teaches the time for Shma in the morning , it says that there are 3 signs for the right time -

- An infant gets up to nurse from its mother ,
- A wife will spend some time conversing with her husband &
- its time to say the Shma.

What is the common denominator of these 3 issues ?

All 3 are essential connections in life.

- A child must have nourishment , food , nutrition & bonding with its mother.

- A marriage must be maintained with small talk. Conversation that bonds , nurtures & develops caring , sharing & private time together.

- time to say the Shma daily - to say we Love Hashem & connect to Him on a daily basis.
