Sefer Hamitzvot for Children

Positive Commandment 11

Studying and Teaching the Torah

Comment

Deuteronomy 6:7 "And you shall teach them diligently to your children."

Is your father a doctor? An accountant? A computer programmer?

The Torah actually encourages him to be a teacher, as well!

Besides the profession your father may have chosen, he is commanded to teach his children Torah.

He must also try to teach other Jews the Torah, because students are also called "children."

When you grow up, this same Mitzvah obligates you to study Torah yourself and to teach it to others.
