He spoke a great deal about rah<\/em> in Da\u2019at<\/em> Tevunot<\/em> (96-133), where he touches upon rah<\/em> and man\u2019s place in undoing it; on the fact that rah<\/em> was a created, i.e., un-Godly, phenomenon; on the fact that while He created it God doesn\u2019t fully \u201cfeed\u201d (i.e., have His emanations freely flow upon) rah <\/em>— only enough to allow for its existence; on its being a symptom of God\u2019s hidden-ness and withdrawal, and a result of His not yet revealing His Yichud<\/em>; on its eventual undoing; on its role in the workings of the Afterlife as well as reward and punishment; on Adam and Eve\u2019s role in its role in the universe; on rah<\/em>\u2019s effects on the world and on humankind; on the Jewish Nation\u2019s specific relation to rah<\/em> as well as the role of the righteous; and much more.<\/p>\n

He spoke of rah<\/em> in more arcane terms in Sefer Kina\u2019ot Adonai Tziva\u2019ot<\/em> in terms of exile and redemption; he reintroduced the idea of its being undone in Peirush La\u2019Arimit Yadi b\u2019Tzalutin<\/em>; and he expanded upon these and related themes here, in Klach Pitchei Chochma.<\/em><\/p>\n

But all of this will take us far too afield. So we\u2019ll now expand upon the contents of this section of Klach<\/em> itself.<\/p>\n
