Rebbe Eliezer of Dzikiv zt’l was careful to have a guest on the first day of Succos because the first day of Succos is the ushpizen of Avraham Avinu, who excelled in hachnassas orchim. One year, on the first day of Succos, the Dzikiver Rebbe didn’t have a guest, so he asked his son (the Imrei Noam zt’l) to go outside and look for someone who needed a yom tov meal. The son walked around the streets until he found a homeless, drunk person. “Come with me,” he said to the pauper. “My father wants you to eat the seudah with him." The Dzikiver Rebbe rejoiced with his guest and served him fish, meat, and other delicacies. The Rebbe said: “Avraham Avinu didn’t have more respectable guests. But Avraham cared so much about people that he was eager to bring home anyone who desired a meal. At least, on this day, we should emulate Avraham Avinu’s ways…”
