Although kabbalah began as an esoteric practice of a small group of educated men, today this ancient mystical tradition is adapting to contemporary sensibilities, including respect for the environment, gender equality, and conscious connection to other spiritual traditions. Access to this wisdom does not depend on one leader or require you to join a cult. Kabbalah, which literally means “that which is received” refers not only to the mystical maps of reality handed down by tradition, but to the awareness each person “receives” along their own journey.Kabbalah has always aimed at healing, repairing and rebalancing the individual, the community and the cosmos as a whole, recognizing the unity in all creation. FUNDAMENTALS OF JEWISH MYSTICISM AND KABBALAH addresses both the historical sources and evolving tradition of kabbalah. Topics covered include shamanic healing, the divine feminine, amulets, sacred sex, dimensions of the soul, time, numerology, the Tree-of-Life, the Hebrew alphabet, and the role of sacred texts and Torah.

Many Fundamentals,
This review is from: Fundamentals of Jewish Mysticism and Kabbalah (Crossing Press Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
As the book has the word "Fundamentals" one may expect that the book is not in-depth; while this is true, it is also true that it covers a broad range of practices and beliefs according to Jewish Mysticism--though the Author kindly reminds us that the Kabbalah is not only for the Jewish folk. Holidays, the Hebrew alphabet and some of it's numerology, and YHVH- the tetragrammaton (the "unpronouncable" name of God in the Torah) and its connection to many belief systems in Kabbalah. Another valuable thing the author does is open eyes to the Zohar and the fact that Kabbalah is a very large system. This book proves as a good starting point for those interested.
