What are the differences between Jewish Kabbalah and the Kabbalah Centers?

Kabbalah is a deep, esoteric realm within the Torah and is not meant to be bandied about on street corners. Only a lifelong Torah scholar will even begin to know what he's talking about. Kabbalah is meant to be preceded by a thorough grounding in Tanakh, Talmud and halakha - and it presupposes your knowledge of those subjects with its brief references which are mistranslated and misunderstood by the wannabe.
However, it's impossible to point fingers and judge in a sweeping, all-inclusive manner. Each teacher and "center" would have to be examined on their own merits or lackings. Probably some are at least well-intentioned.

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.
