Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Sidebar/configuration' not found. Ohr (Template:Langx, plural: Script error: No such module "Lang". ʾoroṯ) is a central Kabbalistic term in Jewish mysticism. The analogy to physical light describes divine emanations. Shefa "flow" (Script error: No such module "Lang". šep̄aʿ) and its derivative, hashpaʾa "influence" (Script error: No such module "Lang". hašpāʿā), are sometimes alternatively used in Kabbalah and medieval Jewish philosophy to mean divine influence, while the Kabbalists favour ʾor because its numerical value equals Script error: No such module "Lang"., a homonym for Script error: No such module "Lang". rāz "mystery".[1] ʾOr is one of the two main Kabbalistic metaphors for understanding God, along with the other metaphor of the human soul-body relationship for the sefirot.[2]

Galilean Meron. "Nature" HaTeva is the numerical value of Elohim, the name of immanent light. The Tetragrammaton transcendence creates through it. Kabbalistically, in Israel the concealment is less severe.

The mystics have a special affinity for the term Or because its numerical value (gematriya) is equivalent to that of raz (mystery): "'Let there be light' (Gen. 1:3)-i.e., let there be Raz (Mystery; Concealment); for Raz and Or are one thing"; Zohar I:140a and Zohar Chadash, Bereishit:8d; see Tikunei Zohur 21:53b, and cf.
