Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha begins with G-d appearing to Avraham Avinu just after having a circumcision. To ease his pain, G-d made the sun exceptionally hot so there would be no travelers for Avraham to host in his tent. But after seeing how much it bothered Avraham that he had no one to help, G-d sent three angels in the form of men to visit him. We find out how Avraham tried to stop the angels from doing their job. We learn why Avraham is the forefather of the Jewish nation.
