That's like the difference between knowledge and math. Math is one branch of study; and Kaballah is one area within Judaism. It includes mystical levels, such as deeper meanings within Torah verses, and details of God's name.

After interest in Kabbalah had spread through the European Jewish community in the 16th century, some Christian mystics got interested, and a school of Christian mysticism developed known as Christian Kabbalah. It is probably possible to trace some modern mystical thought in Christian circles back to this.
