The mitzvah of Kibud Av Va'em (Hebrew: כִּבּוּד אָב וָאֵם), which translates as "honoring one's father and mother," is a central tenet of Judaism and the fifth of the Ten Commandments. This mitzvah encompasses a wide range of behaviors, from speaking to parents respectfully, ensuring their well-being and comfort, to seeking their advice and listening to their wisdom.
