Parshat Vayera: Lot's Fake Kindness

Into the Verse - A Parsha Podcast

Parshat Vayera tells the story of visiting angels being graciously hosted, not once but twice! Abraham's hospitality is legendary, and Lot's welcoming the angels feels like a de ja vu...until things turn ugly. 

What went wrong? How could Lot's act of kindness to the angels end so disastrously? 

Join Rabbi David Fohrman and Ari Levisohn as they explore two very similar stories of hospitality and uncover the most important ingredient in true kindness.
