I understand that kabbalah was before the religion of judaism.
But How can kabbalah be separate from judaism ? Can one exist without the other? My orthodox friends challenge me this, saying you cannot have kabbalah without judaism, Ive been practicing rabbinical judaism the past 8 years, and after joining KabU, i see there is a deeper meaning with the mizvots. But kabU’s main audience is non jews, how do i fit in if im wearing keepah and tzit tzits tallit etc in my ten? I feel like they might think “i think im better than them”. Or im stuck in religious mind, Am i to throw it all away?
I understand now that nothing physical gives me spirituality but am i to throw it all away after 8 years? The baal Hasulam never did…this is what im confused about. If kabbalah is seperate from judaism that means you can have one without the other? Why physical myzvot than?
Halacha has a Kabbalistic meaning behind them because the sages who wrote them were kabbalists. How about Noahide laws? Any place for those in kabbalah?
There is no coercion in spirituality, but where do we draw the line? For example, what if my daughter is picking up books from school, that have kids cartoons about different religions, or, idol images etc. Is stopping her from learning about that stuff still coercion ? By saying we don’t do that etc. Or guiding her towards our beliefs ie: Kabbalah also coercion ? Where do we draw the line?
In my YG TEN, we are to choose excerpt sources, but can we also choose blog articles from The Rav to glean from? Thx.
And to add to that, how would messiah, or death of the righteous atoning come into play with the above question.
thx
