Description

P. 284 in the commentary (7th perek). Leah is the source of the ba'al teshuvah, through running away from the shidduch (match) with Esav. Rachel is source of the tzaddik, who had a quiet, consistent high level. The power of music is tzimaon (longing) and teshuvah. Only a tzaddik or a rasha can live a mellow life (for very different reasons), but a person doing teshuvah is constantly running. Teshuvah m'ahava (from love) is a rush to get out of sins and sinful way of life. There are certain aspects of sin that will not be fully rectified until Moshiach comes. The nisayon of the computer is a ruchnius (spiritual) battle.
