What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

When a person indulges in certain behaviors or activities, klipa snowga is the neutral klipa. Klipa snowga is the one that our intention, our mindfulness determines what that action is. And the regular klipa the sitra achra, indulging the other side, is what's categorically negative. And then one needs to in the next world be purged of whatever negativity we've absorbed, whatever mistakes we've made.

So, a person needs to We talked about chibbut ha-kever, the the first what the body goes through, the soul is experiencing through the treatment of the body. And then kaf ha-kela, we talked about the next level. What brings us up to section three of perek ches, I believe. I'm pretty sure. We spoke of dibburim assurim, it's on us lashon hara kyotzei bahem. I think we covered that. Now, let's take hochmas umos ha-olam. B'chol dvarim b'teilim yichasheiv l'inyan avon bitul Torah. Studying even permitted non-heretical forms of secular wisdom, says the Alter Rebbe, is considered to be a neglect of Torah study. Tantamount to Jewish law to bitul Torah, to worthless discussion. K'mo she-kassuv b'hilchos talmud Torah, as the Alter Rebbe writes in the Shulchan Aruch HaRav
