it seems that everybody in hollywood is getting into kabbalah. what is it exactly and do you have to be jewish to take part in it? and if so then you must convert right?

Well I am no expert on it, but from my understanding it is Jewish Mysticism (again, is that spelled right?). And no, you dont have to be Jewish to study it, because I am a MJ and I am not Jewish. :wave:

Well, the kabbalah that most celebrities study has little to do with proper Jewish kabbalah...

It is more along the lines of New Age, nothing really to do with true Judaism, not based on the truth.

Look at who is "practicing" it and decide for yourself if they are being guided in the ways of all truth?
