Evil Transformed To Good

Vayera | Genesis, Bereishit | 5770

The Chassidic teaching that evil originates in a realm of good but is transmitted into the world in a distorted form, presenting this as a more nuanced view than a simple good-evil dichotomy. The destruction of Sodom is examined in this light, and Abraham's mercy in pleading for even ten righteous people reflects the search for hidden good.
