Michael Berg, of The Kabbalah Centre, describes what he calls "The Way" in a book by the same title.

Nah...it couldn't be.

I studied this back in the early 70's, it was useless then and that hasn't changed. The devotees just have a big name sucker.

Fundraisng time at PBS. Last week my local station played an old Andy Williams show where he was singing this with a fine (Black) gospel group and a white guy. Stellar!

A thread on this has already been posted (it's on "chat") and I've already commented on it.

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:3

What was it that Jack the Ripper allegedly said to one of his victims? "You'd say anything but your prayers."

Okay. I've found my post on the other thread and here it is:

Two remarks:
1) At least the author has the decency to refer to this cult as "pseudo-Jewish," which it is (though there is a real Qabbalah which is part of actual Torah Judaism).
2) Berg says that Adam and Eve "were real people who did eat a fruit from a forbidden tree.
This makes Berg more conservative and truer to the Biblical text than the vast majority of the liturgical chr*stians of the world!

It seems each generation grabs on to some arcane religious concept. In the '60s, it was the Hare Krishna movement.

When did Madonna decide to go into the Geisha girl business?

[marty60]

Well I grew up in California during the 60's and 70's. Even the Rosicrucian's were more interesting. Jesus always wins in the end.

When she heard that if you paint your face white the camera doesn't show the wrinkles

FYI..a while back, the NY POST reported that Madonna's contracts require that her dressig rooms contain cases of "kaballah water"

Did she die her hair black to "look Jewish", or is she going gray?

Hmmmmmm.... Her hair is not naturally blond, it's a mousy brown. From the photo it seems she is dying it black

Believe it or not, the best and clearest explanation I ever read about this Kaballah thing among Hollywood stars was written in PARADE Magazine back in February. I posted it then:

Q: Why are so many non-Jewish clebrities - like Madonna, Diane Keaton and Demi Moore - interested in the Jewish teachings of Kabbalah?
A: Traditionally, only married Jewish men over the age of 40 were permitted to study Kabbalah, the mysterical Jewish interpretation of the Bible. But more and more celebs are attracted to Kabbalah because it teaches that everything in life - including love, fame and money - comes from God. Kabbalah is a way for needy, greedy stars to have the best of everthing without feeling guilty!
