Exploring "Alma DeShikra" from the Zohar: A Jewish Mystical Perspective on Our World
Dear members of our Hebrew and Judaism study group,
Today, let's dive into a profound concept from Kabbalah: "Alma DeShikra" (ืขืœืžื ื“ืฉื™ืงืจื), often translated as "the world of falsehood" or "the world of illusion." This term, derived from the Zohar (the foundational text of Jewish mysticism), contrasts our physical world with the "Alma DeKeshot" (ืขืœืžื ื“ืงืฉื•ื˜), the "world of truth" in the afterlife or spiritual realm.
Origin in the Zohar:
The phrase appears implicitly in Zohar Parshat Vayeshev (folio 192b), where the upper world is called "the world of truth." By extension, our world is "DeShikra" โ€“ not absolute lies, but a realm of concealment (he'elem, ื”ืขืœื). The root of "olam" (world) shares letters with "he'elem," meaning the world hides the divine light, creating an illusion of separation from God.
Classical Kabbalistic Interpretation:
In the Zohar, this world is a "garment" or "shell" (klipot) that cloaks infinite divine light. If revealed fully, reality would dissolve into pure unity. Thus, "DeShikra" allows for physical existence, duality (good/evil, matter/spirit), time, and space โ€“ all partial truths that mislead us from the ultimate Oneness. As explained in Sefat Emet (on Exodus, Mishpatim), this concealment enables free will and spiritual growth.
Moral-Spiritual Interpretation:
Later commentators like Rabbi Nachman of Breslov and Likutei Ma'amarim view it as an inverted value system: Wealth and power seem paramount here, while true values like kindness, truth, and divine connection are hidden. It's "falsehood" because the material world tempts us to prioritize the temporary over the eternal, leading to disconnection and suffering.
Practical Application:
The Zohar doesn't urge escape but transformation: Uncover truth within the illusion. For instance, in Parshat Toldot (on Jacob's deception), sometimes we must navigate "falsehood" to protect truth. In Chassidut, this means focusing on what empowers us spiritually โ€“ discerning between empowering truths and weakening deceptions. As Exodus 23:7 says, "Keep far from a false matter," yet understand when to engage for peace.
This concept ties into Hebrew study: Words like "shikra" (falsehood) remind us language reveals deeper realities. Let's discuss: How does "Alma DeShikra" resonate in your daily life? Share insights in Hebrew to practice!
Shalom and happy learning,
