In Parashat Vayera, our patriarch Abraham sits at the entrance of the tent "in the heat of the day," three days after his circumcision. And yet, when he sees three men from afar, he runs toward them.
Our Sages learned from this that "hospitality is greater than receiving the Divine Presence." Not only giving food, but making a person feel that he was awaited.
Anyone who has stood at celebrations knows that this is exactly the secret of a good dance floor. The right melody at the right time gets the guest who stood on the side to enter the circle. A familiar song that the entire crowd sings opens the heart, just like Abraham's tent, which was open on all four sides.
This week, as you choose the playlist for Shabbat or for the next celebration, it is worth asking: who is the guest who has not yet joined, and which melody will bring him in too?
Shabbat shalom.
