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

General Overview:

In this week's Torah reading, Vayeira, angels visit Abraham and Sarah, informing them that Sarah would give birth to a child despite her advanced age. The angels whisk Lot and his daughters out of Sodom, and overturn and destroy the entire region. Abimelech, king of the Philistines, attempts to make Sarah part of his harem, but through divine intervention she is released unharmed. Isaac is born and Ishmael is expelled from Abraham's household. Abraham makes a peace treaty with Abimelech. The story of the "Binding of Isaac" is recounted – Isaac's "near-sacrifice" experience.

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

THIS WEEK'S FEATURES:

Even Higher Than Angels (By Rabbi Jonathan Sacks)

Faced with a choice between listening to G-d, and offering hospitality to human beings, Abraham chose the latter.

COLUMNISTS

Marrying Task to Purpose (By Lazer Gurkow)

The purpose of work is to provide for one's family. The purpose of eating is to gain nourishment and live. The purpose of living is to serve G-d. The purpose of courting is to marry, and the purpose of marriage is to build a home.

Is Anybody Home?! (By Levi Avtzon)

That education hit home! Although he discarded most of what he was taught, a habit of hospitality remained. He cannot leave the homeless homeless . . .
