Rav Eytan Feiner mentioned in a shiur that the tree used to hang Haman was the Eitz HaDaas, based on a Midrash. Where is this Midrash located? (I found Esther Rabba 9:2 which discusses it, but can't find the precise mention of what Rav Feiner was saying.)

In the shi'ur he is quoting the Da'as Z'kenim on B'reshis 3:11. Check out the annotated English translation thereof on Sefaria. It is attributed (I think) to דעת זקנים, בתרגום רבי אליהו מונק, and says that the target midrash is unfound.– WAFMar 21, 2019 at 18:02

Isn’t there a Midrash that it was from the Teivah?– DonielFMar 21, 2019 at 18:46

@Donielf Midrash Abba Gorion and Yalkut Shimoni are the source for that.– ezraMar 21, 2019 at 18:49
