FATHERS’ FUTURES

[50a top] Gemarah: We do not allow guarantors on marriage documents, since they might not be serious about being guarantors and only pretending to commit to help marriages take place.
RambaM: A father would be allowed to since he is serious about his children.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Parents are instinctually much more protective and caring about their own children. We have to learn to recognize the entire Jewish people as our close brothers and sisters. When we are able to recognize the real bonds we share, there will be much more unity and caring to unite our nation.
