Answer:

In Jewish families, parents and children are responsible for each other as a way of honoring God.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parents are seen as partners in God's creation of each human being, so to honor one's parents is to honor God. In the same way, to disrespect, or show violence toward one's parents is to do so to God.
