Teaching Torah to Older Sons
by HaRav Yehoshua Shklar
One's first impression is that a father is obligated to teach his son Torah when he is a child, but only until the age of bar mitzvah. The father has the mitzvah upon him of, "You shall teach [the words of Torah] to your sons" (Devorim 11:169), but after his son has become a bar mitzvah it would seem that this obligation is ended. Just as with all mitzvos, the father must first perform them for his son and afterwards, when the son becomes an adult, the obligation passes to the mature son, so it should be with this mitzvah too.
