I have been sending out daily Torah Thought emails since 1997. I created this blog to provide an archive for, and a forum for discussion of, these emails.
All points of view are welcome in this forum, if expressed civilly (as defined by my ear, since this is my blog). However, this is not a place for publicizing personal manifestos; feel free to start your own blog for those.

Caring for one's parents
Hi,
"If one's father or mother develops dementia, he should try to act according to their wishes until Gd has mercy upon them. If he cannot bear it because they have become extremely irrational, he should leave and instruct others to manage them in the manner befitting them."
(Maimonides, Mishneh Torah Hilchot Mamrim 6:10)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
