Parsha in the Park - In the footsteps of the patriarchs

Good evening and welcome to Parsha in the Park. This week it's Parshas Vayeira and Abraham is sitting in front of his tent in the heat of the day waiting for guests. And why? Because he loved to do hesed, he loved to do charity and righteous acts and he loved to do mitzvah of hachnasas orchim. Means inviting guests. And that's what he wanted to do. And we have another saying of Maaseh Avos Siman Banim. That the actions of our forefathers, the patriarchs of Avraham, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they are sort of a a siman, a model for the generations of Jews. And because Avraham did certain acts like um inviting guests, so that becomes the DNA of Jews today. That they all want to invite guests. Have people come over for Shabbos meals and for festival meals. Maaseh Avos, actions of the fathers, Siman Banim, and we all want to invite our guests. And I desperately wanted to invite guests. And Shem has been very kind. I've had guests for 3 weeks already and I have guests again this Shabbos. And so we follow in the footsteps of the patriarchs and one of those is inviting guests. This has been Parsha in the Park. Thanks for watching.
