While there are some real-life elements incorporated into the story, such as the use of the word "Tsimtsum" (a term from Jewish mysticism) and the reference to a 19th-century shipwreck, the overall narrative is not historically documented.
The story was popularized by the 1991 novel "The Tsimtsum" by Baruch Tenembaum. There's no evidence to support the existence of a real ship named Tsimtsum or the events described in the novel.
It's important to remember that historical accuracy is often blurred in works of fiction, and this story serves primarily as a literary creation rather than a true historical event.
