SF - The Warmth and Light of Avraham Avinu \ Light Messengers Podcast \ Gratitude\ Episode 2

The Warmth and Light of Avraham Avinu

"And HaShem appeared to Avraham in the fields of Mamre, and he was sitting in the entrance of his tent, like the heat of the day" (Bereishis 18:1). Why does the verse say, "like the heat of the day"? The Torah compares Avraham Avinu to the sun, i.e., "like the heat of the day"! Our Sages teach, "The world was cast in darkness for two thousand years until Avraham emerged and illuminated the entire world." The verse conveys that he was sitting near his tent's entrance to welcome wayfarers into his home for a sumptuous meal.

Avraham Avinu's beautiful acts of loving-kindness and pleasant personality warmed humanity's hearts, like the glow of the golden sun.

Envision Avraham Avinu inviting you into his tent for a meal. Notice how he speaks to you with honor, care, and respect. Sense how the warmth of his heart fills the whole world with love, compassion, and kindness.
