The Chesed of Avraham - Rabbi Yoni Levin

the boston rebbe once asked the question why was avram so successful in being the car of so many people and yet noah wasn't able to norak wasn't able to be makai of even one person the whole floor of the humans and the oxtava was just noah his wife his children and their their wives no one not one person he couldn't inspire one person to come and join them on the table and avram was able to be so successful so the boston rebbe said the answer's as follows because abrahavinu had a tent with open walls open doors and he invited people in to drink to eat to schmooze and to connect the way to connect to people is by far banging with them by just hanging out schmoozing over a cup of coffee a piece of cake a little meal a little lunch when you connect in that way on that level and you can start building a relationship the facet of opening the house of and just connecting to people on that level that very low level will lead to great deeper relationships noah didn't do that no maybe preached maybe he spoke about it but he didn't invite anyone over for a little breakfast for a little lunch a little dinner a little coffee the way to connect to people is on their level on their level that's why him is such a such a big mitzvah it doesn't mean to invite a guest over and to give him a shirt and give him a lecture give our tower that too that's all very nice and important but invite them in to give them a place that's comfortable warmth heat air conditioning food drink a place to sleep just the basics the bare minimum that's what's vital for a person to just live and by giving them these basics by opening up your home and providing that leads to much deeper long-lasting relationships [Music]
