Reply To: Parsheh of the Week Interpretation

When Moshe Rabbenu was in the heavens to get the Torah, as he was accosted by the malochim, Hashem made him look like Avraham, saying to them didn’t you eat by his house? The Dubner Magid has a parable where a prince becomes depressed when hearing that a minister praised himself that he is more important than the prince when the king discusses country matters, as prince is being dismissed. The doctors prescribe a cure having all ministers dress up in an animal costume and dance infront of the prince. When the turn came on this minister to dress up and dance, the prince began to laugh. The minister was told, look who is more beloved by the king? You had to embarass yourself to make the prince happy. When Avraham Avinu was depressed, the malochim had to dress up in human form to make Avraham feel good showing who is more beloved by Hashem.
