Kabbala | June 21, 2004
The Hebrew term Kabbala means tradition or inherited tradition. It is used for various forms of Jewish mysticism. The first esoteric doctrines in Judaism originated in Palestine during the Greco-Roman era. All subsequent elaborations and innovations in doctrine and practice are influenced by the diverse geographical, cultural and political environments that shaped postbiblical Jewish history. More specifically Kabbala refers to the dominant trend in Jewish Mysticism which is traced back to the 12th century in France and northern Spain.
