Hi,
"How do we know that a parent is obligated to teach his child a trade? It is written [Ecclesiastes 9], 'See life, with the woman you have loved.'
"Either 'woman' refers to one's spouse, and just as a parent must marry off his child so a parent must teach his child a trade [so that the child will be able to live], or 'woman' refers to Torah, and just as a parent must teach his child Torah so a parent must teach his child a trade [so that the child will be able to live]."
(Talmud, Kiddushin 30b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
