Question
Hello, What is the correct conduct for a person at the table on Erev Shabbat with children regarding the priority of Torah discussion? Should one first strive to listen to them to accustom them to Torah study, or should one first speak to serve as a personal example?
Answer
Hello and Shabbat Shalom
There is no clear rule on this matter.
Every father knows his family; some need to eat first to be calm, and then they can say a Dvar Torah. Others are only alert at the beginning of the meal and may fall asleep or lose interest afterward.
