Question
Hello, is a person obligated to honor their grandparents?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
There is an obligation to honor and revere one's grandparents just as one does one's parents. However, honoring one's parents takes precedence over honoring grandparents, so if both a father and grandfather request a glass of water, one should first give it to the father and then to the grandfather.
