If electronic writings are printed, they become physical texts, which might encourage following this custom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drawing Inspiration from Abraham<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of invoking G-d\u2019s name in daily activities can be traced to a Midrash about Abraham. The verse states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd he planted an eshel in Beersheba, and called there [<em>vayyikra<\/em>] on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting G-d\u201d (Genesis 21:33).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reish Lakish explains: Do not read it as <em>vayyikra<\/em> (\u201che called\u201d) but as <em>vayyakri<\/em> (\u201che caused others to call\u201d). Abraham caused passersby to call out G-d&#8217;s name. How did he do this? After his guests ate and drank, he would ask them to bless G-d, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDid you eat from what is mine? No, you ate from the food of the G-d of the world. Therefore, you should thank, praise, and bless the One Who spoke, and the world was created.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this, Abraham inspired others to recognize and thank G-d. His example reminds us to bring G-d into our everyday interactions and conversations.
