Mystical teachings that deal with the ideas of creation and concepts of a spiritual nature. Broadly speaking, the Jewish mystical tradition seeks to investigate, to the extend that such is possible and admissible, why and how the blessed Creator created (and and continuously re-creates) His world. "To the extend that such is possible": any insight we may gain in these matters is always from our point of view and inasfar as He chooses to show us. "To the extend that such is admissible": when dealing with a nuclear reactor one exercises a certain caution. That's just a piece of technology. The "active core" that makes the world tick is incomparably more powerful and not just physically but first and foremost spiritually. Due care is of the essence.

Kabbalah is not something distinct from Judaism. It is not a sect that you can join. In order to access its treasures one needs a thorough grounding in Jewish learning: Tanakh, Mishna, Talmud, commentaries, ethical and moral literature, etc etc.

Kabbalah cannot be found on the internet. Period. It also has no "Holy Water", magical stones or miraculous bracelets.

  • Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) provides the following definition in his article "The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah":

This wisdom is no more and no less than a sequence of roots, which hang down by way of cause and effect, in fixed, determined rules, interweaving to a single, exalted goal described as, "the revelation of His Godliness to His creatures in this world."

Additional:

It is not a ''faith'', but a science. It may have its origin in trying to reconcile the apparent ''errors'' in the Torah that even a beginner in the study of Hebrew would not make. By methods too involved to enter into here, the text was, is and will continually be ''decoded'' to reveal, to the discerning student under the guidance of a good teacher, wonderful things about the relationship between the Divine and phenomenal worlds, secrets of living a happy and fulfilled life, and even scientific knowledge not otherwise available. For instance, in the section of the Zohar named "Bereshith" it is said that ''white is the colour that contains all colours." This was written down centuries before Newton experimented with light passing through a prism, and replaced the then current hypothesis (that the white light ''excites'' the crystal to emit colours) with the idea of the colour spectrum concealed within the white light.

In the same way, the study of the Torah with the methods of Kabbalah, while not undermining the value of the surface text (the white light) reveals the spectacular secret of the spectrum (Kabbalistic Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom).

Answer:Among other things, the Kabbalah delves into the details of the Upper Worlds (the Sephirot).

Most brand names like Nike and Adidas carry good lightweight running shoes. The best lightweight running shoes can be argued, however currently one of the best is the Vibram Komodsports' toe shoes.

What is the Mystical Qabalah?

The Qabalah (from the Hebrew QBL, meaning "that which is received") is a tradition within Orthodox Judaism which teaches how men are supposed to complete and further God's work of Creation through a variety of meditative and mystical practices, including deep contempation on the nature of God. Qabalah (the proper Hebrew spelling) has also found its way into mystic Christianity (frequently spelled Cabala, Cabalah, Cabballah, Qaballah and other variations) which teaches Qabalism in light of Christian ideas (like the messianic nature of Jesus) and new age mysticism (where it will be frequently spelled Kabalah, Kabballah, Kaballah, Kabala... etc).


What is the difference between Judaism and Kabbalah?

That's like the difference between knowledge and math. Math is one branch of study; and Kaballah is one area within Judaism. It includes mystical levels, such as deeper meanings within Torah verses, and details of God's name.
