Likutei Moharan 28:1/ליקוטי מוהר"ן כ״ח:א׳

1“ B’ni Lann Beita (Build us a house) in the sky.” He uttered a Holy Name and stood suspended between heaven and earth. He said to them, “Bring me bricks and tina (cement) from hatam (there).” They said, “Can anybody get up there?” He said, “Is there anyone who can build a house between heaven and earth?” (Bekhorot 8b)

2There are mitnagdim (oppositionists) who disgrace and vilify <the tzaddikim and> those who fear God. This stems from their receiving Torah from Jewish scholar-demons. For the Jewish scholar-demons receive their Torah from demons who have fallen Torah from the fallen alephs .

3In connection to these ALePhs it is written about Shlomo (1 Kings 5:12), “He spoke three ALaPhim (thousand) proverbs, and his songs were five and ALePh.” For Shlomo had achieved them <through an abundance of holiness>.

4But the Jewish scholar-demons receive <them> by way of the evil forces. As a result, all their words <are> by way of allegory, rhetoric and profound logic. This is because <their root> is from these alephs.

5And of these Torah scholars it is said (Isaiah 7:13), “Is it not enough for you to weary people, that you would also weary [my] God?” For <they> exhaust the people who come to hear their expositions and teachings. People think that they will come to some betterment through them—that they will come to know how to serve God. But they, the people, do not achieve any betterment. This is because the teachings of these Torah scholars lack the power to guide a person in the right way, for “from bad there is no good.” And what’s more, “that you would also weary God”—as though <they tired out> the Holy One from helping those who serve Him.

6It comes out that because of this, these people fall into great heresy. They think, Heaven forfend, that God “neither sees nor understands” the deeds of man (cf. Psalms 94:7). As a result, they do not honor those who fear God, but vilify and shame them. This is why “shame” is called idolatry, as in (Hoshea 9:10), “They consecrated themselves to shame.” For shame and vilification stem from heresy.
