There are some messianic Jewish congregations which teach Kabbalah. Messianic Jews are Jews who usually practice a variation of Orthodox Judaism but also believe in "Yeshua" (Jesus).

OK - the Messianic Jews are at the intersection of Judaism and Christianity, so if any 'Christian' groups teach Kabbalah, makes sense it would be them. But they seem to be a small tradition, rejected by most of Judaism and Christianity.

Yes, Messianic Judaism is rejected by most of the major Jewish movements as "Jewish." Christian groups are divided on the issue.

Oh I didn't know this extended to Kaballah. I thought it was just general Judaism we were talking about. Never mind then.

I think that all religions, as I define the term, are wrong (and I include my own).

Because we desperately cling to notions we can understand in this ocean of infinite motion. Ultimately its all just attempts at defining something undefinable, no?
