Please forgive my ignorance. Could somebody please tell me more about Kabala? Why is it that Orthodox Jews does not see Jesus the way Christians do? Is there any proof in both directions? What is the stance of any other religion, such as Islam, on this?

Kabala is Jewish mystism, although there are many non-jews who practice it also. They are generally not looked upon favorably by Jews.
Jews don't accept that Jesus was the Messiah.
Christians accept that Jesus was the Messiah.
Islam views Jesus as a prophet, but not the son of god.
There is no scientific proof for any of this, or even historical proof of Jesus' existence.

Kabala is a mystical sect of the jewish religion. The Jews expected their messiah to come and set up his kingdom and that would be the end of it all. They find it very hard to accept the concept the the kingdom is spiritual and eternal having little or nothing to do with the world as we know it today.

that is a very good question there are books you can read about the kabala the word kabala means the tree of life it shows you the path of life starting with earth to the path of Gods kingdom it explains that the jews is Gods first choosen people and Gods scripturs,or God laws (words) that God given to is people, the kabala is very intersting reading many great books that follows to help understand the truth of Gods words it also helps you to understand the bible better that you know the differance whats truth and whats faulse its like having a third eye it see who's telling the truth and who is'nt it is a commitment to studing so I'm telling you it not ignorance it a very great intelligent question you asked

She is? probably for marvel cost and controversy. If it receives her interior the established public limelight and discussions, the ends justify the skill. i imagine a tremendous kind of celebs do those sorts of issues for an similar causes. I have a tendency to push aside their matches for interest besides.

Jesus was only a man. His followers made him into something other than that after he was gone.

Verses from the Noble Quran and the Bible that compliment the story:
From www.answering-christianity.com/yearly_pilgrimage.htm:
The Prophecy of the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca in the Noble Quran:
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred) House [That is the Kaaba that he built], (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
As we clearly see in the Noble Verses, Allah Almighty promised Abraham peace be upon him that He will cause for people from all around the world to come and proclaim the pilgrimage to the House (Kaaba) that he built.
The story began, when Abraham took Hagar and Ishmael to the city of Paran (Mecca), based on Allah Almighty's commands. There was literally no life there; not even water. Allah Almighty then ordered Abraham to build the House of GOD (Kaaba) and leave Hagar and his son Ishmael there. When later Hagar and Ishmael became very thirsty after they ran out of the water they brought with them in the journey, Hagar prayed to Allah Almighty to provide water for them. Hagar then started to desperately run to search for water seven times (I believe) back and forth between the Safa and Marwa hills. Allah Almighty then caused Ishmael to rub his feet against the sand and a pool of water, the water of Zumzum came out.
This Prophecy of Allah Almighty sending people from all over the world to Mecca is fulfilled every single year in Saudi Arabia through the Muslims' yearly pilgrimage, where one to three million Muslims come to perform the Hajj (pilgrimage).
"When the Pilgrimage was proclaimed, people came to it from every quarter, near and far, on foot and mounted. The 'lean camel' coming after the fatiguing journey through distant mountain roads typifies the difficulties of travel." [2]
Again, to help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the Islamic point better, I'd like to present the following from the Bible:
Numbers 24:3-5
3 and he uttered his oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5 "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel!
Deuteronomy 9:17-19
17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, breaking them to pieces before your eyes.
18 Then once again I fell prostrate before the LORD for forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water, because of all the sin you had committed, doing what was evil in the LORD's sight and so provoking him to anger.
19 I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you. But again the LORD listened to me.
Deuteronomy 9:25
25 I lay prostrate before the LORD those forty days and forty nights because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
1 Kings 18:39
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The LORD -he is God!"
Even Jesus, peace be upon him, bowed down to Allah Almighty the Islamic way:
"Going a little farther, he [Jesus] fell with his face to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.' (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 26:39)"
When Muslims bow down to Allah Almighty in worship at their homes, they do not for instance bow down to the sofa, or to the pair of shoes, or to the table, or to the wall, or to the door, or to the TV, or to any object that is in front of them in their homes. They bow down to Allah Almighty only, regardless what's in front of them AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT WORSHIPING THAT OBJECT. The Kaaba is the same thing. We do not bow down to it in worship in any shape or form. We bow down only to Allah Almighty in its direction because it is His Appointed House where He symbolically meets His Servants and True Believers.
The Kaaba makes the millions of Muslims all over the world Pray to Allah Almighty as one unified community.
The direction of the Kaaba not only unifies the Muslims, but it also maximizes the Glorification and Praising of GOD Almighty.
It maximizes the Glorification of GOD Almighty, because in the 5-daily Prayers, it is not only the individual who is Praising GOD, but also the millions of the Muslims world-wide (who are on the same time) are doing it almost simultaneously as if they were ONE CLOSE COMMUNITY.
Now in regards to whether Allah Almighty living there or not, no we do not believe that Allah Almighty lives there. Allah Almighty is unlimited and is every where.
By the way, the Orthodox Jews too bow down to GOD Almighty in worship.
