What they are learning is not kabbalah, so I am not too worried. The most brilliant Talmidei Chachomim didn’t attempt to learn Kabbalah until at least age 40 (is that supposed to be reminiscent of Rabbi Akiva,the one of four who entered the “Pardes” and came out whole, who first began learning Torah at age 40?),and very few were able to fully grasp it. So I am not concerned about a few Kabbalah wannabes, Jewish or not, who THINK they are mystical. Whenever someone has asked me if I know Kabbalah, I tell them I am still working on understanding Chumash and Rashi, and recommend that to them as a more attainable pursuit.
