Rodef Sholom: A Reform Jewish Congregation in Marin County, California

Mipnei seiva takum/You shall rise before the elderly.
-- Leviticus 20:4, Parashat Kedoshim

Judaism is very clear about its view of aging.  When asked who would be honored in the world to come, the wise King Solomon answered:  those that show honor to the aged. (Talmud, Baba Batra 10b).
-- Rabbi Stacy Friedman
