| | Kabbalah |
 | | The sexual imagery of Kabbalah treats Shekhinah (the word is feminine in gender) as the female aspect of divinity; it symbolically expresses the idea of the restoration of harmony (tikkun) as the reunion of the male and female aspects of the divine, that is, as the reunion of divine transcendence and immanence. | | | Kabbalah, the Hebrew word for tradition, originally designated the legal tradition of Judaism, but it was later applied to the Jewish mystical tradition, especially the system of esoteric mystical speculation and practice that developed during the 12th and 13th centuries. | | | Kabbalah pictures God as being above all existence; through a series of ten emanations the world was created. |

| | Judaism 101: Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism |
| | The mystical school of thought came to be known as Kabbalah, from the Hebrew root Qof-Bet-Lamed, meaning "to receive, to accept." The word is usually translated as "tradition." In Hebrew, the word does not have any of the dark, sinister, evil connotations that it has developed in English. | | | The areas of Jewish thought that most extensively discuss these issues, Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, were traditionally not even taught to people until the age of 40, when they had completed their education in Torah and Talmud. | | | For example, the English word "cabal" (a secret group of conspirators) is derived from the Hebrew word Kabbalah, but neither the Hebrew word nor the mystical doctrines have any evil implications to Jews. |

| | kabbalah |
| | The Hebrew word, Kabbalah from the verb root k-b-l, "to receive," means literally, "[oral] received [tradition]." Although there are thousands of extant kabbalistic texts (and many more which haven't survived), the primary method of teaching Kabbalah until recently was by means of oral transmission from teacher to disciple. | | | Meditative Kabbalah is the practice of connecting with God by means of these channels and/or worlds. | | | According to Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan (Meditation and Kabbalah, 1), there are three types of Kabbalah: theoretical, meditative and practical. |

| | But Kabbalah is considered by many traditional Jews to be so holy that it may be studied in its original form only after years of Talmudic study and spiritual maturity. | | | For Madonna and the 1,200 other Kabbalah students, the five-day visit to Israel was a fulfillment of their desire to feel and experience the country which spawned the mysticism which has touched their lives. | | | The Kabbalah Center aims to "make accessible the ancient wisdom and tools of Kabbalah in order to illuminate the minds and hearts of individuals, groups and organizations-regardless of faith, political belief, or race," according to the organization's Web site. |

| | "Kabbalah" is the traditional and most commonly used term for the esoteric teachings of Judaism and for Jewish mysticism, especially the forms which it assumed in the Middle Ages from the 12th century onward. | | | Kabbalah, by its very nature, is not a unified study or set of beliefs, but the thinking of many, varied mystics over centuries. | | | Among his works are 'Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism', 'The Messianic Idea in Judaism', 'Origins of the Kabbalah', 'Kabbalah', 'On the Kabbalah and Its Symbolism', 'On the Mystical Shape of the Godhead', and 'Sabbatai Sevi: The Mystical Messiah'. |

| | However, if you choose to study kabbalah by name you should recognise that kabbalah was and is a part of Judaism, and an important part of the history of Jewish people, and respect the beliefs which not only gave rise to kabbalah, but which are still an essential part of Jewish faith.. | | | Many of the source texts of kabbalah are commentaries on the Bible, and derive their insights using a variety of devices, such as puns, anagrams, gematria (letter manipulations) and cross references to the same word in different contexts. | | | Another aspect of Jewish religion which influenced kabbalah was the Biblical phenomenon of prophecy. |

| | Kabbalah encourages the study of these propositions, based on the true knowledge of the ‘God within’ instead of superstitious beliefs based on blind faith and authority. | | | In Kabbalah, remembering the divine is called ‘devekut’ which means to ‘cleave’ to ‘cling’ to God. | | | Rabbi: One great distinction between Kabbalah and other western philosophies, is the fundamental teaching of an abstract, non-personal One Source Of All, which exists beyond time and space and periodically manifests in the form of a Universe. |

| | For all the good vibes and ego-shrinking Madonna says she has received thanks to Kabbalah, she has courted plenty of criticism, too -- namely, for preaching a practice whose ties to traditional, ancient kabbalah are tenuous at best and treacherous at worst, rabbis and scholars say. | | | She has made "generous donations" to Kabbalah charities, confirms her longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg, and has given the money earned from her childrens books to the center's Spirituality for Kids organization, a Kabbalah-based program for children. | | | The $26 red string bracelet -- said to deflect "envious stares and looks of ill will" -- is perhaps the most visible symbol of Kabbalah, the spiritual movement rooted in Jewish mysticism that's weaving through Hollywood in a way not seen since Scientology attracted converts and controversy a decade ago. |
