Our tradition places emphasis of the mitzvah of hachnasat orchim, which literally means the “bringing in of guests” and has also been translated as “welcoming the stranger.” This mitzvah exemplifies the saying “Kol Yisrael aravim zeh l’zeh – all of Israel is responsible for one another” (Shevuot 39a).
