Likutei Moharan, Part II 71:6/ליקוטי מוהר"ן·תנינא ע״א:ו׳

16. And know! the mentalities of the Land of Israel are the concept of Pleasantness, whereas the mentalities of the Diaspora are the concept of Damagers, as it is written, “one I called ‘Pleasantness,’ and the other I called ‘Damagers’” (Zechariah 11:7). And our Sages, of blessed memory, teach: “Pleasantness” refers to the Torah scholars in the Land of Israel, who are pleasant towards one another in [debating] Halakhah. “Damagers” refers to the Torah scholars of the Diaspora, who assault one another in [debating] Halakhah (Sanhedrin 24a).

2Now, the begetting of offspring primarily results from the concept of Supernal Pleasantness. This is because Supernal Pleasantness arouses flames of love, which in turn bring to the begetting of offspring, as in “you were most pleasing to me. Your love was more wonderful to me than women’s love” (2 Samuel 1:26). On account of Supernal Pleasantness, love is aroused, the concept of flames of love, which bring to the begetting of offspring.
