And so the apple is a delightful way of learning about Hashem. As you were told many times here, if a Gemara would be printed on sponge cake and as you're studying the Gemara you're chewing a little bit of the big margins and enjoying it, ah that would make it an even more geshmake sugya. Ah! Such a delicious subject, this sugya. And you bite off a little bit of the Gilyon Hashas and you chew it. “Ah! A pleasure to read this.”
It's a delight to study about the Creator from an apple. And as the apple goes into your insides and begins to spread its benevolent nourishment throughout your body, it's the benevolent nourishment of your mind that's even more important. The emunah that you gain from the apple is even more important.
So now after the guest takes the napkin that you offer him and wipes off his lips and makes a borei nefashos, he thanks Hashem for the apple; but he thanks Hashem for the bigger gift of true knowledge which he acquired by means of the apple. That's the biggest kindliness you can give anybody. It’s the biggest kindliness you can give yourself! More emunah!
