I've blown it

"Every man of you shall revere his mother and his father and My Sabbaths you shall observe - I am Hashem, your God". (Leviticus 19:3). Notice that the two commands to honour parents and keep Shabbat are juxtaposed for if a parents tells a child to do something which would desecrate Shabbat, then the child should not listen.

I checked my Page on the Global Yeshiva and could not find a single comment that you may have made regarding the "shamir." Could you please write that again, and send it to me?
