kabbalah is jewish myticism
they find meanings out of everything and beleive in different levels of spirituality, the highest (unattainable) lvl being the 50th gate, god's level

I have heard that it is some kind of cult, and that it doesnt fit in with Jewish teachings, but im not sure on that as im not a Kabbalah or jewish

The Kabbalah, that Maddona is in. The one that there is holy water and red string that is a cult but there is the real kabbalah. If you want I have a Rabbi's e-mail address that you can disscus these matters with.

Following Judas Priest is Judaism.

Kabbalah - the expensive religion of the celebirties.
bottles of kabbalah water is about $50
kabbalah string (a piece of red wool/cotton) is about $80. you can but balls or red wool in bulk and not spend $80, unless if it pure wool, really expensive, but wool is fair cheap.

I think (if i remember correctly) that in RE they said Jews can't say G-ds or Yahwehs name is because of the Ten Commandements, and in particular not having graven images of God or anything like that

It says in the Torah (Old Testament), that they can only eat animals with split hoof and chews its cud. If fish, the fish has to have fins and scales. Birds, if only only special birds.Milk only has to be cow milk, bread has to be baked my a Jew.
Jews believe in one god. Ezra was a prophet in the book of Prophets. We can't say G-d's name because it is one of the Ten commandments to not use G-d's name in vain.

 

[gordo]

i think the only birds u can eat are the ones mentioned in the torah

 

[eljay080]

That is correct. How did you know that?

 

[gordo]
