Receiving of guests in judaism

Torah says 36 times to love the Stranger
Loving the Stranger is a fundamental commandment of Torah.
There are even commandments, which forbid us to hate the ones we could have considered ennemies, because of past wrongs.
Such a commandment is the one which states: “You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother”. And “Do not repel an Egyptian, for you were a stranger in his land”.
This tells us to fight hatred , and to combat the perpetuation of enmity.
But when it comes to the Stranger we are commanded, not only to avoid hate, but to love.
This is repeated in Torah not just one time, but 36 times.
Love for the Stranger, is deeply rooted in Abrahamic consciousness.
It’s even possible that the principle of “Hakh’assat Orhim”, receiving of guests, which was inherited from Abraham, was consecrated in the Mitzva of loving the Ger, the Stranger, whether it was a “Ger Toshav” (Stranger that does not wish to practice the Mitzvot) or a “Ger Tzedek” (who wishes to practice the Mitzvot).
Abraham, the Father of the Jewish Nation, was considered a Ger himself.
Abraham is seen as the first convert, and the first who opened his tent to strangers, to make other converts to hospitality.
Abraham is the father of all strangers, all refugees seeking a land to host them, seeking hospitality, friendship, and support.
Hospitality is a vital religious act. The ones who were blessed to receive it become blessed to offer it to others, as they experienced first hand the value of human support.
36 times Torah reminds us that our spiritual mission is to see ourselves in the other, and recognize the other in our selves.
