BeEzrat HaShem
Back to Q&A

Hello Rabbi, I was wondering to what extent the "respecting your parents" obligates a woman to have contact with her (atheist) parents, especially when her husband hates them and she herself does not want to be in touch with them either? They have seen all of your and Rabbi Mizrachi's kiruv videos and are still completely atheist, to the point of sharing Darwin propaganda with me even recently (and raising me like a very immodest goya when I was young) if that changes anything. My mother says orthodox Judaism is "women unfriendly". If I would get in touch with them my husband will probably divorce me on the spot. Thank you!
