As the public Torah weekly readings reach the story of the Patriarch Abraham, a rare Jewish visit is paid to Avraham's home in Elonei Mamre.
The site is mentioned three times in Gensis, in chapters 13,14, and 18. There Abraham settled after separating from his nephew Lot, there he built an altar to G-d, and there G-d sent him three angels to inform him that his son Isaac would be born the following year.
It was also here that Abraham established the first Hebrew army, for the purpose of rescuing Lot, who had been kidnapped by the Four Kings during their war against the Five.
