| Quote: | | The Shach (a 17th century commentator on the Code of Jewish Law) says "there are those who say that one should wait until the age of forty before learning kabbalah, for it says in the Mishna (Avot 5:22) 'forty is the age of wisdom.'" (Yoreh De'ah, ch. 246 s.k. 6) |
Here is how Ascent of Tzfas answers the question about why they teach Kabbala to those under 40:

(note the interesting anecdote about R' Y. M. Bloch of Telz)
It's interesting to me how many non-chasidim don't know that the Vilna Gaon was a great kabbalist and that he said that a rabbi cannot properly decide a law in the Torah without thorough knowledge of Kabbalah.

I think there were many events in Jewish History during that time period that precipitated his rise. You have to look at the state of the Jewish people during that era.

btw, Avner Gold is "not" a pen name. I know him personally, he lives in Flatbush.

That's weird, because a family member knew "Avner Gold"'s daughter, who told her that this is not her father's name.
