Dad And Mom - You're The Greatest
Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz zatz"l defined the mitzva of honoring ones parents as follows:
"I have received a tradition that the mitzva of honoring ones parents is not properly fulfilled unless the child truly admires and respects his parents. A child must find qualities in his [or her] parents where they excel more than anyone else. For if a child does not truly admire his parents then even if he feeds them and serves them he has not fulfilled the mitzva of honoring ones parents at all."
Whoa!!
