They didn't like-- Some people didn't like the Baal Shem Tov statement in Tzidkuz HaRimbosh, as quoted in Tzidkuz HaRimbosh, in which it stated that the Shechinah is dressing up in the Goy who is interfering the Yid from his davening.

And they said, "What does it mean the Shechinah is dressing up in the Goy?" And the Alter Rebbe explained that it's not...

The Baal Shem Tov says that means that the Aibishter wants the person to daven even stronger, and that's why the Aibishter is resting in the Goy.

Resting is not the right word because that means begiluy, but there is a [Hebrew], there's a nitzutz.

So what's the difference between Klipus and Goy? She im yirtzu lechalek ben Klipus haruchnim lo ivde gilulim hagashmiyim.

'Cause if they want to make a distinction between Klipus, which are spiritual, they could have a spark.
