.
Kaballah has been brought up and I think it was Migisli who questioned wether Jesus was a Kaballist or not.
.
I think he may have been.
.
Apparently, the Kaballah has been a thorn in the side of certain Judaists for ages. Check this article out:

.
Is that the whole of the law?
.
Did Jesus teach kaballah?

That was an complicated, but excellent article. Thanks, Pink.
.
The example of the root and branches was most enlightening to me - that we [branches] are made of the same stuff as the root [Creator], and anything that is not of the same stuff will be harmful and intolerable to us.
.
The concepts presented on why accepting charity is uncomfortable for us, but giving is delightful - a fascinating sensible explanation, IMO.
.
And this from the article: It turns out that the purpose of the whole creation is that the lowly creatures will be able, through observing Torah and mitzvot, to rise ever upward, until they reach adhesion with their Creator...
.
...He has prepared for us the toil and the trouble of Torah and mitzvot, to produce our exaltedness by ourselves, because then the delight and pleasure that comes to us from Him, meaning everything that is included in the adhesion with Him, would all be our own possessions that have come to us through our own efforts. Then we would feel ourselves as the owners, without which there cannot be a sensation of wholeness.
.
Ponder that!
.
Did Jesus teach Kaballah? I can't say, since I really don't know the whole of Kaballah teachings to compare them with what Jesus taught.

There is nothing in Kaballah that rejects Jesus.

Not that I can think of; but, it seems like he supports what kaballah teaches--and quite heavily.
.
One thing that can definitely be said of the Jewish persona, it is not afraid to question anything. I like that.

Thanks for the link. I watched it a while back when you shared it before. Fascinating ideas.

Me too. And not afraid to argue their points. I like that too.
