Absolutely rogue06. What on earth would Dr David S. Ariel who wrote the article I cited know about anything at all on these matters?
After all he only graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with a BA in Jewish Thought in 1973 and received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Brandeis University in Jewish Studies.

From 1982 to 2007, Ariel served as the president of the Cleveland College of Jewish Studies (which later was renamed Siegal College and now is known as the Siegal Lifelong Learning program at Case Western Reserve University). From 2008 to 2014 he served as the president of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, a Recognised Interdependent Centre (RIC) of Oxford University in England. Ariel later founded Ariel Learning, a Jewish learning organization, and taught courses at numerous synagogues, at the Me’ah and Kevah programs organized by Hebrew College, and various other educational, cultural, and religious centers.
Ariel authored four books: Kabbalah: The Mystic Quest, Spiritual Judaism: Restoring Heart and Soul to Life, What Do Jews Believe? and The Mystic Quest: An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism.
As such a renowned scholar yourself, you are perfectly correct in dismissing a nonentity such as Ariel.
