SF - The Warmth of Avraham

The Warmth of Avraham

"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). The phrase, "like the heat of the day," requires on explanation. The Torah likens Avraham Avinu to the sun: he was a spiritual luminary who illuminated the entire world. The verse conveys that he was sitting near the entrance of his tent, in order to invite wayfarers into his home for a sumptuous meal. 

Lesson: Avraham Avinu's wonderful acts of loving kindness and pleasant personality, warmed the hearts of all mankind, like the glow of the golden sun.

Visualization: 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.
(Based on the commentary of the Kli Yakar on the Torah)
