Klipas Noga goes down when one indulges with lust. The explanation of נבל ברשות התורה. Correction by using לשם שמים is like the קרבן עולה is returning to Hashem. The idea of מותר is untied and of אסור is tied down.

1) Most Mitzvos aren’t person specific (לא נתת דבריך לשיעורים) except Tzedaka and Torah and… Purim! it has different days for different people, as few as two days and as many as five days, why? 2) The answer: the Megilla is calling שמותיו של הקב”ה like קריאת התורה which calls to Hashem כאדם הקורא לחבירו…

The story of Purim is about יהודים displaying complete הודאה and מסירת נפש. This caused that at the end of the story: ליהודים היתה אורה ושמחה וששון ויקר. The achievement of being יהודים gave them a new תורה, שמחה, מילה, and תפילין. Each later idea is higher than the idea before.

Klipas Noga, is Klipa, but is closer to Kedusha and is affected by כונה (intent), in contrast to קליפות טמאות ורעות that are evil no matter how lofty the כונה. There are three possibilities with קליפת נוגה A. It can remain גוגה if there is neither a good nor a bad כונה B. It can…

End of Perek 6, Beginning of Perek 7. The beginning of all קליפה is ראשית גויים עמלק, but that is complicated by garments of complexity and “good”. In Asiya there are these two lowest levels: 1) The severe (altogether) evil Klipos that are three: רוח סערה wind, ענן גדול great cloud, אש מתלקחת fire. Two…

Klipa (continued). From fine to gross. The story of the Mitteler Rebbe, the name of קליפה may change but he is the same thing. 1) נחש הקדמוני and 2) מלאך המות and 3) יצר הרע and 4) שטן and 5) יש and 6) הרגש היש are really all the same thing. The idea of נסיונות…

This standard מחצית השקל מאמר has a typical approach with a completely novel aspect: The typical: no one is whole without another, thus we give half and the other half comes from outside of us. The atypical aspect is that we are commanded to give the “higher” half of Shekel called שקל הקדש the lower…

Klipa exists in every world, from the lowest to the highest. On higher levels it is as fine as simply being aware of itself ראומה or מורגש. On lower levels it can have no awareness of anything but self and be against Hashem. In general there are two levels: קליפת נוגה and קליפות טמאות ורעות…

The Tanya teaches תורה בשמים where there is no neutral, if it’s not קדושה (which means ביטול) it is the סטרא אחרא (which lacks ביטול). Yidden are called ביטול בכח. What does that mean?

Yehuda and Yosef are two worlds. In the beginning Yosef was superior but in the end Yehuda will be.  Talmud (Torah) and Maase (Mitzvos). Now Mitzvos are for birurim and need Torah. When birurim finish Mitzvos will be for bittul and won’t need Torah.
