Introduction
Kabbalah OnlineRobert ZuckerWhether it is written in English- Kabbalah, Kabalah, Kaballah, Kabala, Kabballah, Qabalah or Quabalah (Quaballah)- it is the same meaning. It is the same name. QBL (Hebrew letters that stand for the word Kabala) is the study of the mystical Tree of Life often referred to as Jewish Kabbalah. I spell it here several ways to remind you that it is only the sounds that are important- not the letters: ka ba la.

Qabalah: The Tradition is aliveBy Robet Zucker Kabbalah is the collective name for the Oral Traditions handed down from generations of Jewish rabbis until the teachings reached the mass populous today. The word Kaballah, spelt in Hebrew as QBLH means "tradition." There are many ways to spell the English translation of Kaballah, Kabbalah, Kabala, etc. The actual spelling in Hebrew are the four letters: Q, B, L, H which are pronounced as Qa Ba LaH. The Oral Teachings are the hidden meanings of manuscripts scribed mostly in the early centuries after the birth of Christ and a resurgance in the Middle Ages among the Separdic and eventually Hasidic Jewish communities. Kabbalah has its roots deep in early Judaism religion. The Jewish Kabalah examines the Visions of the Chariot by Ezekiel, the Bahir, the Merkabah and the Sefer Yetzirah. These written works, including the Torah, provide the cornerstones of understanding this mystical practice. While the true knowledge is buried deep in the Hebrew language, Christian Kabbalah of the Middle Ages also helped bring these mystic names and words into the western world. Jewish Kabalists follow to the letter of the Hebrew alphabet in its original inscription. Christian Kabalists interpret these Judaic teachings through the veil of their religion. This site focuses on the Jewish Kabbalah. But, Kabbalah is not a religion. It is a meditative look into ones soul and into the reflection of a greater energy. The Kabalah Tree of Life is the map, or set of paths and sephiroth (spheres) linked together to represent the entire structure of the Universe. Each path and intersecting sphere has a meaning, a letter and a sound that brings to life a special soul. The sephiroth contain all the energies of the interacting pathways. By studying the Zohar, the Bahir, Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Creation- also called The Book of Formation) and other books provide the keys to form the names to make the energies come alive. But to gain the highest level of mystical knowledge, understanding of the traditional books and teaching of Judiasm is necessary. These pages explore the understanding of Qabalistic teachings at the time of origin and how they relate to today's life. New pages are continuous added and updated to this section.
