Would America chose Sharia or Noahide Established Religion over Constitution based on Christianity?? According to Rabbi Steinsaltz, Jewish mysticism - or Kabbalah - is the official theology of the Jewish people. Although the world of Kabbalah is profoundly symbolic and abstract, its teachings are of tremendous significance to the individual and to society alike. Its influences are evident in all Jewish spheres - the prayer book, the Talmud, and Jewish philosophy. Kabbalah is not a separate area of Torah knowledge, but rather the hidden, spiritual dimension of the revealed aspects of the Torah. These revealed facets of Torah - such as halakha (Jewish law) - speak primarily about visible, physical things; Kabbalah, on the other hand, speaks directly about spiritual entities, like the system of olamot (spiritual worlds, or graduated levels of reality) and sefirot (divine attributes, or channels of divine energy) through which God creates, sustains and directs the universe. It also discusses the interaction between those entities and the performance of mitzvot in the physical world. It is for this reason that Kabbalah has been called the soul of the Torah. steinsaltz.org/Kabbalah_Mysticism.php
