---------------------------------
Torah puts great emphasis on the importance of welcoming people into your home, making sure they feel comfortable, and giving them your full attention–it’s a mitzvah called hachnasat orchim (hospitality to guests). According to the teachings of the Talmud, we are required to:
• Greet guests at the door and escort them inside.
• Make an effort to remain cheerful during the visit.
• Offer food and drink.
• Ask our guests questions about their interests and activities.
• Escort them to the door when they leave.
