There are myriads of explanations just how and what being created in the image of God means.

Doesn't it go hand and hand with my first question you are discussing?

Can someone give me Judaism's view/meaning of Genesis 1:26 and 27?

Not on a short Friday. Lol.

Probably most basic is that being as the verse cannot refer to physical resemblance, as ascription of physicality to G-d is inaccurate and likely heretical, it refers to imbuing man with G-dly characteristics, namely that his actions have the ability to have cosmic effects in the upper celestials and spiritual worlds, transcending this physical world. When man does a good deed or sin, it doesn't just impact his physical surroundings - it has tangible productive or destructive effects in the spiritual worlds. No animal or other creature can accomplish this.

The concept of having free will is inherently G-dly in nature. A necessary component of free will is the ability to do evil.

Not really. Having God like “abilities” (according to some interpretations) does not translate into having good within no matter how much evil is committed.

(according to some interpretations)

You have said this before. Does this mean there is no agreement?

The intellect dominates the emotional.

Technically many interpretations can be true. So it’s sort of a complicated general question to answer, some interpretations are disputed for specific objections, but multiple explanations on different levels can be true.

So it is different but the same?

Obviously, but c'mon man. This is so far from פשוטו של מקרא.

How do you learn this then?
וְהַמּוֹחַ – שַׁלִּיט בְּטִבְעוֹ וְתוֹלַדְתּוֹ עַל חָלָל הַשְּׂמָאלִי שֶׁבַּלֵּב, וְעַל פִּיו, וְעַל כָּל הָאֵבָרִים שֶׁהֵם כְּלֵי הַמַּעֲשֶׂה.

And how do you explain the first two of "תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: כְּלָיוֹת יוֹעֲצוֹת, לֵב מֵבִין, לָשׁוֹן מְחַתֵּךְ, פֶּה גּוֹמֵר, וֶשֶׁט מַכְנִיס וּמוֹצִיא כׇּל מִינֵי מַאֲכָל, קָנֶה מוֹצִיא קוֹל"?

@Freddie Can we get your take here?

וְזֶה כְּלָל גָּדוֹל בַּעֲבוֹדַת ה' לַבֵּינוֹנִים:

הָעִיקָּר, הוּא לִמְשׁוֹל וְלִשְׁלוֹט עַל הַטֶּבַע שֶׁבֶּחָלָל הַשְּׂמָאלִי

עַל יְדֵי אוֹר ה' הַמֵּאִיר לַנֶּפֶשׁ הָאֱלֹהִית שֶׁבַּמּוֹחַ,

...

וְאַהֲבַת ה' בְּלִבּוֹ בֶּחָלָל הַיְמָנִי –

From my understanding, scientifically, there's no connection between emotions and feelings, and the heart.
The way I understand מאמרי חז''ל and דא''ח, it refers to the brain as the source of everything that's cool, calm and levelheaded and it refers to the heart as the source for all that is constantly moving, excited, heated up and very active.

This is my humble understanding and I'd appreciate if anyone agrees or disagrees.
