Sitting at the Entrance of My House....Looking for Guests!

By the way, the reason our rabbis say it was so unbelievably hot was because Hashem wanted to protect Abraham and spare him the trouble of having guests.

Why? Here's another difference.

It was on the third day after his circumcision.

A time when I imagine, especially if you're 99 years old, you'd want to have some R&R and just take it easy.

But Avram would not have it.

He was desperate to have guests.

He loved kindness.

He loved doing kindness, bestowing kindness.

So it's not the third day.

It's been a good, more than 60 years since my circumcision.

In fact, next week's Sergeant Pepper birthday coming up.

Those who understand might understand.

But in any case, so yeah, and the circumcision is way, way back in my past.

And yeah, I'm not quite 99.

As old as I'm getting, I'm not 99.

So there are a lot of differences here.

But I'm out here to prove a point.

And that is that... that the torah is eternal and beautiful and we're supposed to learn from and be inspired by the torah avram avinu wasn't just looking for guests he he didn't just you know do kindness randomly or scattered acts of kindness he loved kindness we're supposed to the prophet micha says we're supposed to have ahavat loving kindness he couldn't live a day without doing kindness and and well, what can I say? I better go now.
