Today we gain beautiful insight into Abraham's generous ways. The "eshel"
was a fruit tree that Abraham planted to serve fruits to his guests. Our Sages
go even deeper and say that "eshel" is an acronym for three Hebrew words: eating
(אכילה a-khee-la), drinking (שתיה sh'tee-ya) and escorting (לויה levaya), the
three types of hospitality that Abraham was famous for offering to his guests.
Colel Chabad, Israel's oldest charitable organization, follows in the footsteps
of Abraham by helping Israel's neediest people- widows and orphans, the sick and
elderly, poor immigrants, and hospitalized children.
