Reply To: Should Parents Intimidate Their Kids?

Klug: “So that the will hear / seed and be afraid and will no longer willfully transgress. How much clearer can the Torah get???? Instill in them fear so they will no longer do this improper act.

What exactly do you think it means????”

Klug, you are forgetting something. This is talking about Hashem instilling fear in grown adults, who should know better, and at that point in their lives if they are transgressing then it is their own decision and choice as educated free thinking adults.

We are talking about little kids, who Hashem doesn’t punish.
