[Avodah] Bmidbar

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

 Israel's brithplace was b'midbar -- in the wilderness. It has
: been suggested that only the barren wilderness could have produced
: the monotheistic faith...

But we didn't develop monotheism in the midbar, we were taught it by our
parents back to Avraham. We had some help being reconvinced during the
plagues. But monotheism isn't the aspect of Yahadus that really emerged
during the Exodus  >>

However, the avot were shepherds and it has been suggested that being alone
with the flock and nature helped them perceive monotheism.

BTW I am now reading The exodus you almost passed over by Rabbi Fohrman who
demonstrates that the debate between Moshe and Pharoh and the 10 plagues
all revolve about monotheism versus polytheism
