Bring People Closer - R. Meir Simcha Sperling - TorahAnytime.com

You see from over here that even bringing one Yid one Jew, one person closer to the Shekinah bringing one Jew closer to the Shekinah was dearer in the eyes, was more beautiful in the eyes of Avram than receiving Nevuah. If you ask me, I don't know. Nevuah like Nevuah is a crazy level. Like who would want to give up Nevuah being so close to the Kodesh Baruch Hu? But according to Avram and we see this that this was more important. All the immense closeness that the Kodesh Baruch Hu that you could have with the Kodesh Baruch Hu that comes with Nevuah, I'm willing to give that up to bring one person closer. That means you affect one person in a positive way that he will now be closer to the Kodesh Baruch Hu. That is something that Avram was willing to give up Nevuah for. That's pretty unbelievable if you think about it. And even if you don't think about it, it's pretty unbelievable. Avram decided to remain with Lot and attempt to draw him closer to the Kodesh Baruch Hu with the full knowledge that he is giving up this opportunity. I will not have Nevuah now. And this by the way was not a special Mitzvah that he had. This wasn't like a commandment, you will stay with Lot, bring him closer to me. That's not what it was. This was his own for his own tremendous tremendous love that he had for the Kodesh Baruch Hu. That's really what it is. The tremendous love that he had for Hashem that he wanted to bring people closer to Hashem.
