One centerpiece of kabbalistic thought is gematria—the search for coded messages within the text of the Bible.

His resolve is weakened, however, when he is overcome by a desire—not a worldly or a fleshly desire but simply the desire to purchase a book of kabbalistic mysticism.

Set in an Eastern Europe town, “The Dybbuk” tells of a yeshiva student who uses kabbalistic means to win the woman he loves.

Some of those same pieces were also sprinkling in spiritual elements, incorporating evil-eye beads and red strings - a kabbalistic tradition to ward off misfortune.

Rabbi Schachter-Shalomi introduced a new tallit, or prayer shawl, with the colors of the rainbow arranged according to kabbalistic principles, instead of its traditionally white color with either black or blue stripes.
