Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 164 Part 1/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does a father redeem a firstborn who is not with him, and what if the kohen returns the money? The Kitzur lets the father redeem him wherever he is. The Kitzur then turns to educating young children in mitzvos, each according to his understanding.

Key points

• The Kitzur obligates a father to educate young children in mitzvos d'Oraisa and d'Rabbanan, each at its time.
• Reb Moshe Feinstein, cited in a footnote, finds a soft approach generally more effective in educating children.
