[Avodah] Recent Threads

[Rich, Joel]

Either here and/or on Hirhurim there were threads concerning whether
Yahadut improves character (should this be statistically demonstrable)
and what the nature of the "nefesh asher asu bcharan" was.  It occurred
to me this morning that there is a well known drashot haran (:-)) that
states the reason that Avraham sent back home for a wife was because
it's easier to teach belief than to change midot.  It would seem this is
a rayah that (at least monotheism - perhaps yahadut if we understand
avot/613 literal and maximal) won't change midot or else why didn't
avraham send home.
 
 
Separate note:IIRC  I heard R' HS say that there's a mesora that they
learned nashim and nzikin in Yeshiivat Shem Vever as these applied to
bnai noach at some level.
