[HANASHIR:16680] What's Hachnasat Orchim?



Sorry - I should have defined it in my original email.  Hachnasat orchim is
the mitzvah of welcoming of strangers and guests.  The example I've seen
most often is Abraham inviting the three strangers in for a meal.  It's a
lovely concept, with lots of potential extensions (good manners, tzedakah,
etc.).
