Hi there! I have two very similar questions to ask. 1. May a Bar Mitvah boy kiss and hug his mother when she is a Niddah? If he is not allowed, then should he be notified when she is off-limits? 2. May a father kiss and hug his teenage daughter, who being unmarried has never been to the Mikvah? If he is not allowed, then could a father recommed that his unmarried daughter visit a Mikvah so that he will be able to kiss and hug her without violating Jewish Law? Thank you, Ari

Ham was Canaan's father. Who was Caaan's mother? It would appear that it was not Ham's wife, but Ham's own mother, Noah's wife. That would also explain a lot about the 'Land of Canaan'.
