Honoring Older Sibling vs. Vekidashtoi

Question:

Hope you are well,

I was wondering: What is the halachah if someone is a kohen and he has an older sister, and there is two pieces of cake. One bigger than the other. Do we say, there is a mitzvah for the boy to honor his older sister, or perhaps do we say there is a mitzvah of vekidashtoi (I am assuming this only applies to boys) and the older girl should honor her younger brother? Which one comes first?

Answer:

Hello,

Your older sister is also obligated to honor the kohen, the same way you have to honor him. This is not a mitzva which is for men only. Therefore since boith of you have the obligatin to honor the kohen , he goes first.

Best wishes
