Practice What You Preach

This morning my wife and I went to Beth El Synagogue before we went to #CLCGV to meet with a lady from their gift shop for items for CLC's Craft Fair. As the ladies conducted business I videoed a young man putting on tefillin and snapped a shot of their tallit closet. 

We see in chapter 18 of Genesis the story of Abraham giving hospitality to 3 visitors. I find it interesting that they waited around for Abraham to prepare such a big meal. 

I was looking at some menorah's that were on display when someone approached me and asked if I would like a bagel and coffee. Of course I partook and sat with some men next to the rabbi. When we were finished eating I found myself saying with them a blessing for after the meal in Hebrew. I thought of this story of Abraham's kindness (chesed) and realized that is what happened. They saw me and were hospitable just like Abraham.
