Studying Kabbalah at a Young Age
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Rabbi Ovadia and many other rabbis warn against, and even forbid, studying Kabbalah before age 40 or before meeting various other conditions. What is the Rabbi’s opinion on this matter?
Answer
In my opinion, there is no prohibition. But usually, when people study it too early, they are liable to make mistakes.
