Superstition or spirituality?
Deep research or a publicity cheap trick?
Jewish orthodoxy or cult?
Kabbalah has become increasingly popular among the Hollywood elite and New Age enthusiasts in recent years thanks to its evil eye, crimson strings, specially blessed water, hidden passwords, and celebrity participants.
What does the cabbala essentially mean?
Kabbalah is an esoteric approach, discipline, and school of thought in Jewish mysticism, with the literal translations "receiving," "tradition," or "correspondence." The Jewish tradition of Kabbalah, which is sometimes referred to as "mysticism" or "occult knowledge," deals with the essence of God.
Kabbalists hold that God works in strange ways, whether it involves a sacred text, an experience, or the way things are.
The quest for a close-by but concealed Deity to be encountered directly, intuitively, and immediately is what the experiential aspect of Kabbalah is all about.
Mystics "desire to taste the full wheat of spirit before it is ground by the millstones of reason," as Abraham Joshua Heschel put it in his writing.
