> what an awesome site- thank you so much for posting it. actually I was interested in reading about Kabbala, since that has become somewhat 'trendy' in my neck of the woods (so. cal). obviously, the followers I know couldn't possibly understand the intricacies of this since they haven't been studying for the decades (the site said one should be 40 years old to start studying) that seem to be necessary.
> take care, judyYou're welcome. It is nice to have a positive thread about Judaism and answer genuine questions and curiosity in a supportive environment.
The current Kabbala fad has no resemblence to the actual Kabbala of Judaism, as you read on the website. It really is New Age philosophy repackaged. Of course, it might have value and meaning to those who pariticpate in it, but it is not to be confused with the Kabbala of traditional Judaism.
