Question
Hello! Today, there is a lot of Kabbalah literature available for sale. Various authors, both of European and Jewish origin. However, there are rumors that the knowledge they convey in these books is not true. How can one obtain it or at least something closer to the truth?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
You are right: there is indeed a lot of distorted information about Kabbalah — both in books and on the internet.
To study Kabbalah, I recommend searching for materials under the terms "Kabbalah" or "Jewish mysticism," and choosing only verified resources, such as Aish.com, Chabad.org, and similar ones.
Regarding books, it is important to pay attention to the author and publisher to ensure the reliability of the source. In this matter, it is also helpful to consult with a rabbi who can help assess the reliability of the publications.
