Virtual Midrash | VaYera God Appears to Abram(Sodom & Gomorrah) Gen 18:1–22:24 | The Way Wednesdays

God and two angels show up at Abram's door and they enter into a very interesting conversation about what is going to transpire at Sodom and Gomorrah. Join us for this fascinating conversation!

So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, (Gen 18:2) and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. (Gen 18:3) “Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. (Gen 18:4) “And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant.” They said, “Do as you have said.” (Gen 18:5) So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” (Gen 18:6) And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. (Gen 18:7) So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate. (Gen 18:8)

[Yoniyerushalmi]

Rav Abraham Isaac Kook: ”We remember that in a wholesome state before the sin, Adam was commanded not to eat meat. Therefore we know that in the time to come, after the world is repaired, the heavens and earth will be revitalized, the nature of man and the beast will change to the majestic, then we will return to supreme moral sensitivity and accordingly it will be forbidden to kill an animal to eat their flesh.” (הרב קוק, חזון הצמחונות והשלום ב).
“And I will make a covenant for them on that day with the beasts of the field and with the fowl of the sky and the creeping things of the earth; and the bow, the sword, and war I will break off the earth, and I will let them lie down safely.” (כ, ב הושע)
“And a wolf shall live with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie with a kid; and a calf and a lion cub and a fatling [shall lie] together, and a small child shall lead them. And a cow and a bear shall graze together, their children shall lie; and a lion, like cattle, shall eat straw. And an infant shall play over the hole of an old snake and over the eyeball of an adder, a weaned child shall stretch forth his hand. They shall neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mount, for the land shall be full of knowledge of the Lord as water covers the sea bed". (ישעיהו יא, ו-ט)
Genesis- vegetation is man’s nourishment. The vision of the end of days- vegetation is man’s nourishment. One who is focused on wholesome worship of God will not allow themselves to take the easy path but will strive for high ideals.
