HP Blavatsky studied Kabbalah for many years and one can see in The Secret Doctrine and her other writings its influence.
Here is quote from a leading Kabbalist, Rabbi A.I. Kook (1865-1935) the first Chief Rabbi of Israel.
"The purely righteous
do not complain about wickedness, they increase righteousness;
do not complain about heresy, they increase faith;
do not complain about ignorance, they increase wisdom."
From his biography An Angel Among Men by Simcha Raz.

Nicholas,
I try to read a little of the Secret Doctrine everyday. I am impressed by how much Kabbalah there is in the S.D. I am always impressed that the Kabbalistic concept of Ain-Soph is the same as the Theosophical concept of the Absolute.

Nicholas,
I am always impressed by how much the Jewish Kabbalah has in common with Hinduism and Buddhism. (When I tell this to Christians and Jews, they think I am crazy.) Maybe we can explore the commonalties with the Sephiroth and Hinduism and Buddhism. I think it would be fun.
Here is a webpage on the Sephiroth Tree.

Here is the graphic from that webpage.
Here is a graphic from The Secret Doctrine vol 1 p 200, which shows the connection between the Sephiroth and the planets of our Round.
