A word of caution to the neophytes and tourists. All that glitters is not Kabbalah. Jewish mysticism does not indulge in exhibitionism. Beware of glossy book covers! Also, I recommend only primary sources, and even those with quite a few caveats with regard to the integrity of translation and probity of commentary. My rule of thumb would be to stick to Jewish Orthodox and (preferably) Ultra-Orthodox publications, while staying away from all popularizations, both cheap and expensive.
