Avraham Avinu was one of the wealthiest, most powerful and influential men of his generation. Yet at 99 years old, recovering from his bris milah and in considerable pain, he ran to welcome three complete strangers, bowed before them and personally waited on them.

Why does the Torah devote so many precious pesukim to the details of a meal, yet barely mention Avraham's extraordinary power and influence?

Rabbi Shafier explores what this remarkable episode reveals about the true measure of greatness, why chesed is so central to our purpose in life, and how we can learn to become more like Hashem through the way we treat others.
