Translated from Yalkut Yosef:
1. What does it mean according to the boundaries of Jewish
law to fear one’s parents? One should avoid standing in the place his father
prays, sit in the place his father sits in the table or in his store. Also if
one’s mother has a spot she always sits in, the child is forbidden to sit
there, but standing there is allowed. In the time of the father’s life, the
child is forbidden to sit in his father’s place even if his father is not
present. This law also stands for an individual who is not a Talmid Hacham (Torah Scholar).
2. The son is not allowed to stand next to his father’s side
when both are praying the amida
(Shmoneh Esreh), because the law makes the father like the son’s Rav Muvhak (Rabbi). This also stands
when both are praying in the congregation in public. However, when it is
crowded in Shul (synagogue) and the son must stand by his father’s side, the
son should ask forgiveness from the father and may do so. If the father is
praying in a place that is on a level (like a bimah) and the son is on the floor; the son is allowed to pray next
to his father, even if they are immediately close to each other.
