<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=447272513-05112007>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
