Question

Regarding the previous question about commenting to another person about the tefillin, which bothers the father. I emphasize that he is an elderly person (meaning over 60). Does it still not matter, or since he is elderly, is it forbidden to comment to him because it affects his honor when a young person comments to an elder?

Answer

Hello

There are amiable elderly people who accept the truth from whoever says it.

But as I emphasized earlier, it is permitted only if done with respect and sensitivity.
