Kabbalah

Jews believe in Kabbalah which means “to receive.” Kabbalists often use classical Jewish sources to explain and demonstrate its esoteric teachings. These teachings are held by followers in Judaism to define the inner meaning of both the Hebrew Bible and traditional Rabbinic literature and their formerly concealed transmitted dimension, as well as to explain the significance of Jewish religious observances
These four levels are called pardes from their initial letters.
  • Peshat (Hebrew: פשט‎ lit. "simple"): the direct interpretations of meaning.
  • Remez (Hebrew: רמז‎ lit. "hint[s]"): the allegoric meanings (through allusion).
  • Derash (Hebrew: דרש‎ from Heb. darash: "inquire" or "seek"): midrashic (Rabbinic) meanings, often with imaginative comparisons with similar words or verses.
  • Sod (Hebrew: סוד‎ lit. "secret" or "mystery"): the inner, esoteric (metaphysical) meanings, expressed in kabbalah.

2) Do you think that other religions have their own version of Kabbalah?
