In Parasha “Vayeira,” G-d sends the Angel Gabriel to inform Abraham that He was going to destroy Sodom and Gemora. Abraham came forward and said to G-d, “Would you obliterate the righteous along with the wicked? What if there were fifty righteous people in the city?”(Bereshit 18:24-25)
Abraham bargained with H”S until he came to “If there is still one righteous person in the city?”
We can learn from Abraham’s example that when we are presented with the opportunity to save a life, either physically or spiritually, we must not hesitate. We should immediately do all in our power to come to the person’s aid, even if that means acting in direct opposition to our natural dispositions.
There are so many stories of people who go out of their way to save a life and later in life they are saved by this same person they saved. When we value each person as a whole world on its own and we protect life, for Jews are lovers of life, life will come forth.
