During the Renaissance, Kaballah leaked into the Christian community, so there's a stream of Christian mysticism that's called Christian Kaballah. These days, there's a de-Judaized stream of Kaballah that attracts people like Madonna and other non-Jews. So, while classical Kaballah is specifically Jewish, there are lots of ideas in Kaballah that seem to resonate with non-Jews.
