Kabbalah
Kabbalah is a Hebrew word meaning "tradition" or
"that which is received." It is a form of Jewish
mysticism that has been practiced for at least
500 years. It is a philosophical theology based
on the belief that every word, letter, number and
accent of the Torah contains keys to
understanding the nature of the universe and the
human soul. Much of Kabbalah is based on the
writings of a text called the Zohar--or the Book
of Splendor--a mystical, multivolume commentary
on the Torah.

  • Rabbi Byron Sherwin, who teaches at the Spertus
    Institute of Jewish Studies and has studied
    Kabbalah for 35 years, says Kabbalah in the
    Jewish tradition is esoteric and advanced and
    requires advance knowledge of the Bible, Talmud,
    Jewish law and philosophy. Without those as a
    base, Kabbalah gets distorted.Sherwin is
    disdainful of celebrities who have gone public
    with their involvement with Kabbalah. Madonna and
    others have actually demeaned Kabbalah by acting
    as though they understand it, he said."A
    tourist is not a resident--and these people are
    tourists," Sherwin said. He does understand why
    people are seeking out the 13th Century
    discipline--they're searching for an alternative
    to their current lives, and they're attracted by
    the fact that it's been around for so
    long."It's obvious they're looking for
    something and think they've found it," Sherwin
    said. "This is a very exotic alternative."
