וַתֵּרֶא הָאִשָּׁה כִּי טוֹב הָעֵץ לְמַאֲכָל וגו' וַתִּקַּח מִפִּרְיוֹ וַתֹּאכַל וַתִּתֵּן גַּם לְאִישָׁהּ עִמָּהּ וַיֹּאכַל (ג, ו)
And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat… And she took from its fruit and she also gave to her man with her to eat. (3:6)
The Root of all Suffering:
Sefer M’Zekeinim Esbonen relates that the Bais Avrohom of Slonim zy”a ate and drank very little, which caused his Rebbitzen to worry about his health. She would always urge him to eat, and he would push her away with various answers. One time, when she was pressuring him to eat, he said, “The root of all suffering in this world is because Odom’s wife persuaded him to eat.”
