Rabbi Pinchas Winston discusses the Torah portion of Vayeira in his video series “Salvation through Genesis.” Abraham welcomes a number of desert wanderers who turn out to be angels of God. Rabbi Winston points out that life is a test, and we must always be prepared to obey the word of God, as we learn from the stories in Genesis.
