What do people who practice kabbalah traditionally wear?

Kabbalah is the advanced study of Tanach (Jewish Bible), as such, there is no specific uniform that Jews wear.


How popular is Kabbalah?

Probably too popular. According to Jewish tradition, one needs to be thoroughly learned in such subjects as Talmud and halakha before attempting kabbalah, which is deeeper and more easily misunderstood. There are an embarrassing number of "armchair kabbalists" who aren't sufficiently religious, sincere or prepared; and they more likely than not will have a superficial understanding of what they read in kabbalah, at best. The popularity of Kabbalah is further demonstrated by the presence of over 40 cities with "Kabbalah Centers" and the fact that 70% of "Kabbalah Students" are non-Jews, even though real Kabbalah is a distinctly Jewish religious philosophy.


Why are Jews not allowed to study Kabbalah until age 40?

This prohibition has come from Ashkenazic (East European) Jews and has never applied to Sepharidic (Middle Eastern) Jews. The historical basis for the "rule" comes from opponents of Kabbalah within Judaism who successfully attempted to restrict its study. At the root of this was the heresy of false messiah Shabbatai Tzevi (17th. C) which resulted in large numbers of Jews leaving the orthodox fold. This heresy had deep Kabbalistic underpinnings, and in the attempt to stamp out Shabbateanism, Kabbalah itself became suspect, and specific prohibitions against the study of Kabbalah were enacted.

Are non-Jews allowed to study Kabbalah?

Allowed by whom ? Judaism certainly has nothing to say about what an individual's interests are and what he chooses to study, most especially a non-Jewish individual. If there's any prohibition floating around, it's much more likely to be the authorities of the non-Jewish faith who prohibit their adherents from studying Judaic sources, perhaps out of fear that they might come to understand too much of what it's all about. That being said, it would be impossible for a non-Jew to find a teacher both qualified and willing to teach him/her real Kabbalah.
