An opportunity for children

SimchaMinute by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

​We have to realize what a great opportunity parents are for children. You know there are not many mitzvos for us to do... The mitzvah of bringing a parah adumah (red heifer) you’ll probably never do until Mashiach comes. Many other mitzvos you’re not able to do... But when your mother tells you Chaim, carry the garbage outside in the street, it’s a mitzvah d’oraisa (Torah commandment), not less than tefillin. — The Fifth Commandment (#999)
