It started with Abraham the Patriarch four thousand years ago, who wrote a book called Sefer Yetzira (The Book of Creation). The next important work is The Book of Zohar, written in the second century CE. The Zohar is followed by the works of the Ari, a renowned 16th century Kabbalist. And the twentieth century saw the appearance of the works of Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag. Ashlag’s texts are best suited for our generation. They, as well as other Kabbalistic sources, describe the structure of the upper worlds, how they descend and how our universe, with everything that’s in it, came into existence. Yehuda Ashlag’s textbook Talmud Eser Sefirot (The Study of the Ten Sefirot) is designed as a study aid with questions, answers, materials for repetition and explanations. This is, if you will, the physics of the upper worlds, describing the laws and forces governing the universe on the spiritual realm. For further info: www.kabbalah.info

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.
