Correct the Flaw of the Tree of Knowledge
A person must repent to the extent that it is “unto the Lord your God.” That is, he should feel that “the Lord is your God” personally, and then the flaw of the tree of knowledge will be corrected. (Rabash, “What is the Meaning of Failure in the Work?“)
We undertake the obligation to rise in faith above reason so neither our faith nor our reason are harmed in any way, and we will thus correct the problem of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge.
The revelation of the Creator’s desire lies in the fact that each of us discovers some of our problems, flaws, and sins that constantly drag us down. But we want to be part of the community of Israel and therefore want to return.
That is, a person wants to feel that the Creator is omnipotent, and wants to belong only to Him and do everything so that the Creator is above him. This is called correcting the flaw of the Tree of Knowledge.
Question: Can we clearly feel the Creator’s desire in the ten to fulfill it? And if we do not feel it, do we believe that we are fulfilling His wishes?
Answer: No, it is not enough to believe in it. You need to know it.
