So what do you do if you invite someone(not yet known to you, but someone asked you to do this chessed) in need of a Shabbos meal, and that person turns out to be a truly obnoxious guest?

That is what my mother says is the true mitzva of Hachnasas Orchim. Over the years we’ve had a few shall we say interesting and obnoxious people come over, one comes every Yom Tov. And whenever we complain, my mother says that is mitzva of Hachnasas Orchim.

We love having guests over at our house but truth be told, the kind polite guests aren’t that hard to have over and do the mitzva with. It’s the obnoxious people that…let’s just say, Lefum Tzarah Agrah.

You don’t have to invite them again.
