Why is it so hard to change? As we approach the season of teshuvah
(turning, repentance) and the Ten Days of Repentance, this question is

to be the exception rather than the rule.
In the three prayers that we have read these past two weeks, we see the
heroes of the story, our forefathers and foremothers, invoke the character
of God in their supplications before the Lord.

The sages see Abraham as a paragon of love and inclusion. He brought people
from the surrounding societies in Haran and Canaan close to the one God
through his example and his generosity.
