“To what extent is one obliged to honor his father and mother? If they were to take his purse that was full of gold and throw it into the sea in his presence, he must nevertheless refrain from giving them any manner of offence, neither causing them distress nor taking umbrage at their conduct: he must accept the Scriptural decree and keep his peace.”* * Mishneh Torah, Shoftim, Hilchoth Mamrim VI, 7
