summary

Focuses upon the role Kabbalah plays in determining mainstream Halachic practice - a subject that has been debated for centuries. As opposed to philosophy, seen by many as the Zohar’s opposite, Kabbalah is on the one hand esoteric and thus not for the masses, yet intrinsically, it takes Halachic positions based upon mainstream practice which is of course common to all.
