Kinder Torah Parshas VaYeira
After Avrohom’s bris mila, HaShem made it very hot outside. In that way, there would be no guests to bother Avrohom while he was recovering. However, Avrohom was upset at not having guests. Then, he was very happy when he saw three “men” (malachim sent by HaShem) and ran to invite them to his home.
HaShem destroyed Sodom and Amorah by turning them into dust. All the people that lived there died, except for Lot and his two daughters. Lot’s wife turned around to look at the destruction and was turned into a pillar of salt.
Sarah gave birth to Yitzchak when she was 90 years old and Avrohom was 100. Yitzhak was the first to have his bris mila when he was eight days old. On that day Avrohom made a big party.
Avrohom sent Yishmael away from his home per the advice of Sarah and HaShem’s agreement. Hagar and Yishmael were in the Midbar, and they used up their water. Yishmael was very sick. Hagar left him under a tree and the two of them cried. HaShem saved Yishmael and he became healthy again.
HaShem tested Avrohom with a very difficult test. He told Avrohom to offer Yitzchak as a korban. Avrohom took Yitzchak and the two of them went happily to fulfill the word of HaShem. At the last moment, HaShem told Avrohom not to sacrifice Yitzchak.
