In June I wrote about an excellent Radar article on "Hollywood's hottest cult," the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles.
Davis Rowan, who writes for the London Times, says "Rav Berg's people have been worrying the Brits too — here's my investigation for the London Times (I've been trailing them since 2002)."
[Rabbi] Berg's teachings, too, have angered more traditional Kabbalah scholars, particularly his claim that anyone can "read" these ancient Aramaic or Hebrew texts simply by scanning their eyes or fingers over the pages. Still, the promised benefits are an impressive selling point (with courses starting at £151): Kabbalah can make you rich, cure illness and help you find true love. "You'll learn how to harness the Light of the Creator to get what money can't buy – including more money," its literature claims. "You'll learn how to… find the perfect mate, how to remove illness from your life, and even before illness strikes, prevent it. You'll also learn about a precise technique that can methodically reverse the ageing process and prolong life."
