The Idolatry

The Idolatry in Jewish Prayers and Siddurim

One of the most prominent examples of idolatry being introduced to Jewish prayers is the name דִּיקַרנוּסָא in the prayer for livelihood, as brought in prayer books for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur:

May it be Your will, HaShem, the great, powerful and awesome God. Act for Your sake and for the sake of the holiness of this psalm and the holy names mentioned in it, and for the sake of the verses, words, letters, cantillation marks, hints and secrets which derive from it. And for the sake of the great and holy name דִּיקַרנוּסָא which derives from the verse “And I shall pour upon you unlimited blessing” (Malachi 3:10), and from the verse “Raise over us the light of Your face, HaShem.” May You write us in the book of livelihood and sustenance this year and every single year, for us and all our household, with fullness and ease…

The name דִּיקַרנוּסָא doesn’t appear in Tanach, nor in the Talmud, nor in the Zohar, nor in the books of the geonim, nor in the books of the rishonim. The source for this name is in the book Peri Etz Chayyim (Sha’ar HaAmidah, chapter 19), which constitutes a part of the teachings of the Arizal, as is the text of the prayer for livelihood mentioned above. What, then, is its meaning?

The name דִּיקַרנוּסָא in Spanish is de carnosa = of flesh. Its meaning is a god of flesh and blood, meaning Jesus of Nazareth, who is the physical incarnation of God, according to their religion. It follows that the nation of Israel pray to Jesus of Nazareth on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur to give them livelihood, and do so in front of the open ark containing the sefer torah, and desecrate the name יהו”ה openly and publicly, on the days most important to the nation of Israel in the entire year!

Thus we have proven that the Arizal’s kabbalah helps introduce idolatry in the nation of Israel (may HaShem save us!).
