    Kabbalah is a Jewish mystic interpretation of scripture. It attempts to fill in the many holes that are present- have you ever read the bible, or more specifically the first 5 books? They don't make a lot of sense and there's really not much there. Kabbalah does things like try to explain why you see anthropomorphized descriptions of god, when god probably does not really have eyes, a face, etc. Kabbalists believe that god exists outside all time and space, and cannot be interacted with directly because we as humans would never be able to comprehend the indescribable god. This is not taught to all Jews and is in fact usually only taught to people who are very advanced in religious knowledge and practice, for fear of people misunderstanding it and doing crazy things, like the new fad (unfortunately) followed by Madonna.
