Parshat Vayeira: The Power of Abraham's Influence

[@tinawalker8174]

This is fabulous, the visuals are excellent and I love your analysis.

[@graftedingrace6594]

I never thought a little 'cartoon' could teach me so much and make me cry. Well done! This was truly beautiful. Thank you.

[@paulacollinscook5687]

It really is a beautiful story. His daughters and they made it out.....Abraham's mission a strong's nation

[@Rycait2]

Wow. I never looked at this story in such a deeper way. Thank you.

[@SandraGomez-lw7ny]

Love it, the animation, the Hebrew/ English, well explained, easy to understand. Great work. Sholom

[@Luxory]

Thank you for making that video. It really helped me understand the parsha!

[@NoRushpk]

The animators are doing a brilliant job. Love the videos. So much to learn from them, and put in a very simple way while explaining the deeper meaning!

[@rakchazak9674]

Shabbath Shalom from Manila, PHilippines. Great video for a gentile who observes the shabbath and who accepted Yeshua ha mashiach as HIs God and Saviour and can easily understand this presentation. Toda raba.

[@stevefranklin963]

Toda for expanding on this simple yet profound theme...intercession, that is. Ha Shem in His omnipotence always gives humans an opportunity to advocate for mercy. It doesn't make sense, but G-d's mercy extends well beyond the limits of what His justice should require.

[@thegrubzz]

Love Aleph Beta amazing video thanks for showing me the beauty of Torah!

[@nomorecensoringme]

I don't 'love' something that can't "love" me back. I did enjoy this though.

[@natwil735]

@nomorecensoringme, you are correct that the "something" can't love you back because all that something is filled with is WRATH and HATE. That something is also jealous, vain, envious, a liar, a thief, and a mass murderer/destroyer. You would do well to know this about that "something" and get TRUE KNOWLEDGE on the opposite of that "something" that has got the majority of the inhabitants of the earth *tricked* into believing "something" is "good" and want to help us. What a laugh!

[@lawrencetendler2342]

The reason why Hashem told Avraham about his intention to destroy Sodom is because he wanted him to persuade him to do otherwise ,to persuade him to change his mind. Which demonstrates that Hashem trusted Avraham fully.

[@nomorecensoringme]

I've heard a few videos sharing insight into this reading. Yours certainly contributed too.

[@nomorecensoringme]

Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@ipell5280]

Outstanding. Finally this parsha makes sense to me.

[@phatvegan1691]

Thank you Rabbi and Team!!!!!!

[@GeneNievesque]

Thank you!

[@lourdesoliva3951]

good job.could teach my children. love it.

[@Steve_1999]

It's funny how almost everyone is accepting homosexuality with open arms right now, despite what the Torah and Christian old testament says about it and what happened in the past. Even the most religious people are afraid to say it's wrong. We're living in truly sad and wicked times but we don't realize it.. accepting evil sins and wrongdoings doesn't make you loving, kind or open-minded, it makes you no different than them. I'm not saying we should attack them in any way but surely not support it or pretend that it's okay.

[@emilyhoffmannopitypilates]

these are thorough explorations of the parshiot,

[@rosasalas1437]

I Love it Thk u for sharing ❤️.

[@maril1379]

Great video thanks for teachings

[@sharonmansano1574]

Amazing! Thank you so so much! So inspirational

[@zeldawebb110]

Thank you for your wisdom and insight

[@YourAscents]

So WHY did Lot fail to influence those around him? Lot was not originally in a city. Why did he choose to dwell in a city?

[@shaniallweiss]

He saw the green and well[-watered land, which is compared in the text to the "garden of God." He was looking at the pasture for his animals, not the people. This was following a fight between his shepherds and Abrahams over where the animals were allowed to eat. So, Abraham, who loved peace, said they should separate. He offered him dibs.

[@erichfeit7779]

I'm a man with grandchildren. I like to send these parashot to them each week. ☺️

[@BoomdesLevens653]

For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

[@massielcalenzani2805]

awesome!!!!!

[@leah2915]

Good video

[@froghome5094]

usually i would have a lot to say but this just made me speechless

[@qqgamegear8757]

Great for kids !!

[@eladdaniel8734]

y'know, I always watch these to get a dvar torah for the table, but I can never recite it as well as you guys do

[@AustinEliante]

Great video but something... well just struck me wrong. Did Lot fail or did the people around him not follow G-d? We can spread righteousness, but we cannot change someone's mind.

[@carlmorrison9789]

That was good.

[@jlupus8804]

This entire lesson feels weirdly subverted by the fact Lot’s next act was incest LOL 😅 Any thoughts?

[@elainerubin6010]

His daughters knew what would happen if they gave their father alcohol. It had happened before. They had never consented before the cave.

[@froghome5094]

wow these people are sooo smart

[@nomorecensoringme]

The only thing I didn't like was at the beginning you said 'just bargaining'. Really? With Hashem? Nothing 'just' with the chutzpah of Abraham doing that.

[@Steve_1999]

Tried to convince them to "not harm the guests" Wasn't this the part where they wanted to do more than just harm them... I mean force themselves onto them in a weird way?

[@JulienCohenMusic]

Was Abraham more successful than loth in influencing other people? After the destruction of soddom, he leaves because there is noone to influence anymore. Doesnt it mean that he could not make anyome good? Also was loth household really right people? Then why was his wife firbidden to watch soddoms punishment?

[@acspanday8728]

Does it matter if Avroham counted up like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10. Or 100,99,98,97, etc?

[@acspanday8728]

Sorry if my spelling is bad. I’m 11.

[@421sap]

B''H, Amen.

[@MontySouther]

Is bargaining for the Ten Commandments or the Ark of the Covenant which stands for acts of random kindness in agreement

[@billstuart3482]

Nice Commentary - But I wonder if his "Sons-In-Law" were converts & If HaShem + Abraham were speaking about a Minyan (i.e. - 10 men *** Even 10 Followers of G^d = Jews)

[@lawrencetendler2342]

Did they trust LOT.? not a LOT.....ha ha ha

[@MontySouther]

The Ten Commandments he wouldn't destroy it for the Ten Commandments , if 10 people following those Commandments he would not destroy the cities

[@yngvedavidsson]

Who is Asherah?

[@MontySouther]

God would spare the city for 10 righteous Commandments

[@marybennett678]

The Bible says Lot was just and righteous.

[@natwil735]

So because the Bible said so, does this mean it is true? Just and righteous to offer up his daughters to be violated my wicked evil men. Right.

[@shirleyannelindberg1692]

Without 10 you can’t have a minyan to say Kaddish‼️

[@Mountshilol]

That's not right

[@cesarioserrato5306]

Something weird happened with Lot and his daughters, yeah, like they had sex with their father nd the moshiach comes from that event. 😂😂
