OU TORAH YU TORAH NAALEH.COM By Realistic Ramifications Shira Smiles

Adapted by Channie Koplowitz Stein Parshat Vayeira begins with an incredible scene of Avraham Avinu, three days post his circumcision surgery, leaving Hashem’s presence to run to greet and cater to three strangers who appear on the road near his tent. The Torah records how Avraham Avinu beseeches the travelers to stop at his tent and be his guests. Then the Torah records the details of Avraham’s service to these men/angels. Avraham says, ” ‘Let some water be brought and wash your feet and recline beneath the tree. I will fetch a morsel of bread…’ So Abraham hastened to the tent of Sarah and said, ‘Hurry,… knead and make cakes.’ Then Avraham ran to the cattle, took a calf… and gave it to the youth… to prepare it… He stood over them beneath the tree and they ate.”
