Making stuff up is always preferred so as to not make a hash out of other peoples traditions. As Ken said last night, he used Ars Magica's Kabbalah as a source. A few wrong things in that made it over to his book (like a Ba'al Shem not having to be a Rabbi or even Jewish). 
Due to the flow of information, this will eventually end up in a non-RPG book or in someones head and just flow and grow from there. Actually, I expect material from UA to end up in a non-RPG book in the next 2 years.
