    Thank you for your deep explanation of the connection between Adam eatiing
    from The Tree, and murder. A fanatastic shiur - Thank you!!!
     
    It is clear to me from your shiur, that the purpose of the klippah is to give
    the human being a choice, whether to serve Hashem, or to spill His gift of 
    Divine Energy into the domain of negativity, into the domain of klippah.
     
    I find it fascinating that the gematria of klippah is 225, and the gematria of bechira
    is 225!

    Question for Rabbi YY

    Boker Tov, Do you think there is a connection to the different opinions of the type of fruit that grew on the etz of daat? Apple, Grape, Fig, can all be eaten with the klipah One does not need to peel of the klipah

      Meseches Brachos 40a דתניא אילן שאכל ממנו אדם הראשון רבי מאיר אומר גפן היה שאין לך דבר שמביא יללה על האדם אלא יין שנאמר וישת מן היין וישכר רבי נחמיה אומר תאנה היתה שבדבר שנתקלקלו בו נתקנו שנאמר ויתפרו עלה תאנה ר"י אומר חטה היתה שאין התינוק יודע לקרות אבא ואמא עד שיטעום טעם דגן

      Another opinon in medresh also esrog.

      רבי אבא דעכו אמר אתרוג היה הה"ד ותרא האשה כי טוב העץ אמר רבה צא וראה איזהו אילן שעצו נאכל כפריו ואי אתה מוצא אלא אתרוג. ע"כ בבראשית רבה

      Do not see apple there. Chita cannot be eaten with klipa.

    I did not understand the answer regarding the process to identify if the thought is from kedusha or klipa - you said one has to see where the thought leads you if alighment with the almighty etc. - but if the thought is telling you it is kedusha then one thinks this is alighment with the almighty (like by korach) even though it really is the opposite? Can you please explain this important concept?

    A friend of mine, a very gashmack and shelamastik Yid once told me that when a Yid does an aveirah, they should appraoch Hashem and say vidui, "I'm so sorry Hashem that i did that and I feel grreat regret and I promise not to do it again."    Then the next day when he does that same thing again he should say "I'm so sorry H" that i did that and i feel great regret and I promise not to do it again.  And this time I really mean it!!"
