Klipah is a concept in [[Kabbalah]], frequently discussed in Chabad Chassidic teachings, serving as a comprehensive term for the existence of evil and impurity in the world. Klipah is also known as "Sitra Achra" (Aramaic: the other side, which is not the side of holiness) or "Chitzonim" (the external forces). The term Klipah, meaning shell, is used because evil is comparable to the shell of a fruit - covering the fruit itself, though it is merely worthless waste. Similarly, impurity and evil are apparent in the world, despite not being the true reality, but rather a covering over the divine holy reality. Through breaking the shell, one reveals the truth and goodness in the world. | '''Klipah''' is a concept in [[Kabbalah]], frequently discussed in Chabad Chassidic teachings, serving as a comprehensive term for the existence of evil and impurity in the world.
