Kabbalah
Kabbalah represents the mystical aspect of Judaism, rooted in the belief that it encodes secret interpretations of the Torah and the Bible. According to tradition, this profound knowledge was transmitted to Moses in secrecy atop Mount Sinai. For generations, it was conveyed orally, from teacher to student, reserved for a select few. It was eventually disclosed by Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in the Zohar, a foundational work of Kabbalistic literature, around 2,000 years ago.
