Many Jewish beliefs have their basis on a document. Just as Christians have the Bible to guide their ways, Muslims have the Coran and so on, Jewish people consider the Torah as the most important document and the basis their beliefs.
The Kabbalah, literally translated from Hebrew as 'reception', makes reference to received tradition, or, in other words, all Judaism's oral law. With the passing of time, those teachings that were transmitted orally were recorded and available to all. But some teachings were still kept from everyone's eyes, the esoteric teachings.
Kabbalah revolves the problems concerning the spiritual worlds. Therefore, the student attracts spiritual lights during the study of the Bible. Studying other parts of the Torah also awakens a certain spiritual illumination, but the intensity of the light during the study of Kabbalah is much stronger than when studying other writings. However, one must make sure one is studying in the right path of instruction, otherwise he is liable to achieve the opposite result - the more he studies, the more he’ll feel himself to be righteous instead of feeling his own evil (which is the desired result).
It is the time of new beginnings. The time that has been ordained since the beginning of time in which God’s holy love would make itself felt everywhere as a stirring within the human heart to go deeper within itself, to find the source of love and the source of peace within.
