האם אשה נענשת בשמים על ילדיה שאינם שומרים מצוות
- כ"ו תשרי התשע"ה
שאלה
Dear Rav,I understand that 'ben mezake aviv' when in Olam abah,even if a parent wasn't religious the merit of observant children help a lot up-there,what will be the case of my Mom z'l that left three kids here and only one is observant?can the merit of one kid overpass the other two?or she gets punish for their not keeping mitzvot?I'VE seen her many times in my dreams she seem to be doing fine...

To the Questioner:
The Torah says (D'vorim 24-16):
"Parents shall not die [be punished] on account of their children ...each man shall die (i.e. be responsible) for his own sin"
A parent is generally responsible for his childrens' education toward Judaism only until the bar/bas mitzva
Certainly when a parent leaves even one child in this world who is keeping the Torah it is a great merit for them
If you have already merited to see Mother in a dream and she looks good, that it a good sign the the neshama is doing well.
with blessings
