He doesn’t go and he doesn’t learn… Why is his counted among those who go to the study hall? The answer is that evil is what makes the good discernable. If there were no evil, the good would be indiscernable. “Like the advantage of light out of darkness.” Therefore, even the wicked person and the fool are called those who go to the study hall. For this fool serves a purpose for the wisdom. And the Baal Shem Tov said about this, that this almost gives evil enough power to ascend, since the world needs it. However, it says: “I will bring you down from there, says G-d” (Ovadiah 1:4). Amen! Notzer Chesed, chap. 5:14
