MONKEYS SEE

[13a top] Mishnah: If an unmarried woman, who is pregnant, identifies the father as a Kohen, we do not trust her and assume that the father has problematic lineage. Talmud Yerushalmi: There is concern of his lineage because those that engage in Zenus (relations outside of marriage) usually come from problematic lineage.

D-E-ep Thoughts: How we act as parents highly influences our children. If we want our kids to grow up certain ways, then we must not only discipline them, but literally show them how to act ourselves. All the greats in our history lead by example (for their immediate families and the nation as a whole). We must always practice what we preach, and the more light and love we give out into the world, the more we will receive in return.
