You're correct about the linguistic and cultural/historical face of it but totally wrong about the Kabbalah ordeal (yeladim don't get the right to get into Kabbalah, only Tzadikim). Here's some proof: I absolutely suck at maths (learned how to cope with it as I grew up).
Ad Hominem much? You get smacked around by my intellect on a daily basis ping. You are probably old enough to be my father.
