Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) explores the question of how we got here and why. It deals with the mysteries of creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. Some of its meditative, mystical and magical practices have been studied and used by non-Jews for hundreds of years. Located in the mountains of northern Israel, Tsefat is the home of Jewish mysticism.
