What level of responsibility do adults have to keep children from transgressing halakhic prohibitions?
This question of whether katan okhel nevelot en bet din metzuvin lehafrisho – “if a minor is eating non-kosher food the Jewish court would not need to stop him from doing so” – is dealt with in our daf where a number of cases are brought that seem to offer different perspectives on this matter.
We explore further the halachic obligations of parenting as well as the legal parameters of parent-child privilege.
