Timeless Torah

It is axiomatic among our people that the weekly Torah portions and the time of the year they are read are not coincidental. Thus it is no accident that the Biblical section dealing with the rebellious son occurs when youngsters are re-entering school after a long summer of fun and play.
One particular point of interest is the complaint of the parents to the judges of the city. After not being able to control their child, they finally admit that their, "Stubborn child does not listen to koleinu - our voice." The use of the singular our voice, rather than our voices, suggests that the two parents speak as one, in a unified manner, agreeing on how to deal with their child.
Unfortunately for Mom and Dad, their common view on the ‘problem’ child has come too late. Only now do they realize how vital it is for parents to speak in a unified voice. As the Torah itself records just a few verses earlier, "He does not listen to the voice of his father and to the voice of his mother." Here are two separate and discordant voices are mentioned.
The moral is obvious. Disagreement among parents concerning the education of their children may lead to undesirable results.
