Rabbi Gail is a mystic kabbalist, I am not. Theyn never even taught it when I went to rabbinical school. Different aspect of the tradition

Q: Some of this takes a bit of getting used to. I am very accustomed to Orthodox Practices... especially regarding the role of women and mysticism. Whereas I can understand and appreciate the Conservative approach to the role of women, I am still having a difficult time accepting Kabbalah. Does the Conservative Movement require belief in Kabbalah or only acknowledgement of its existence?
