Hospitality
Look who's coming for dinner!

=============================

His hallmark was his open-tent policy. He pitched his non-profit hospitality in the middle of the desert, and pulled in every traveler and nomad for a hot meal and a night's rest.

Some considered him an extremist. Once he was in the middle of a chat with G-d Himself when some travelers appeared in the distance. He excused himself and ran off to invite in the guests! To Abraham, hospitality was greater even than communion with G-d.

The tradition stayed in the family. When the Roman emperor Julian ordered the establishment of hostels for transients in every city, he referred to the example of the Jews "in whose midst no stranger goes uncared for." Even in the worst of times, every Jewish community had a society to provide food and lodging for any traveler, without discrimination.
