Why Avraham Was Beloved to HaShem \ Parasht Vayira D'var Torah: "For I have loved Avraham, because he commands his children and his household that they keep the ways of HaShem" (Bereishis 18:19).   HaShem chose Avraham as the torchbearer to transmit the Torah to future generations. However, the great Yeshiva of Shem and Eiber was already established before Avraham's time. In light of the fact that there were other great tzadikim and prophets in this era, why did HaShem choose Avraham to be the spiritual leader of the world? As great as the other men were, they did not reach out to other people to show them the way of HaShem. Whereas, Avraham dedicated his life to bring his brethren under the wings of the Divine Presence.     Moral: HaShem had special love for Avraham Avinu -- and appointed him to be the spiritual mentor of mankind -- because he cared deeply about HaShem as well as his fellow man.   Application: Envision Avraham Avinu lovingly welcome guests into his tent. See him attend to them with loving-kindness, high honor, and heartfelt joy. As he teaches them the knowledge of HaShem, he conveys to them that HaShem is the One and only Eternal Creator of the Universe. Avraham's warmth and wisdom captures the hearts of his guests. He influences countless numbers of people to walk in the way of HaShem. Emulate Avraham's kindness and be an ambassador of HaShem to the world. Share the good way of HaShem with your fellow man, and help them to uplift their lives.   (Based on the commentary of the Chofetz Chaim to the Torah)  We're on a search!
