<DIV>>>>>><BR>They believed he was a major sinner (mored
bemalchus -- if Yakov is a melech -- plotting to usurp his father's and
brothers' place -- re his dream of his father and brothers bowing to him -- OR
-- eating ever min hachai -- OR -- other?). To smile at a sinner and
pretend everything's fine is not darkei sholom but hypocrisy. (Maybe we
should learn from the brothers that chanifa to non-O rabbis is not the right
thing to do.)</DIV>
