According to Artson:
“ Ours is an age hungry for meaning, for a sense of belonging, for holiness. In that search, we have returned to the very Kabbalah our predecessors scorned. The stone that the builders rejected has become the head cornerstone (Psalm 118:22)… Kabbalah was the last universal theology adopted by the entire Jewish people, hence faithfulness to our commitment to positive-historical Judaism mandates a reverent receptivity to Kabbalah.[34] The Reconstructionist movement, under the leadership of Arthur Green in the 1980s and 1990s, and with the influence of Zalman Schachter Shalomi brought a strong openness to kabbalah and hasidic elements that then came to play prominent roles in the Kol ha-Neshamah siddur series.” The reason I keep returning to this subject is because the Traditions of Men, or The Traditions of The Elders have been influenced by Kabbalah (mystical) writings that many times superseded the Torah, and the Tanakh.  This is dangerous grounds because human understanding or wisdom is taken before the Wisdom and Understanding of God.  We need to be aware of this and not back down when we are confronted with Judaism of that nature.  Not all Jews believe in the Kabbalah but it is becoming stronger as they begin to teach it again in the Jewish schools.
