1. its not science - its pseudo-science like scientology
(11.11.10)
2. #1: Not pseudo science nor true science
Israeli 2   (11.11.10)
It is beyond all science. It is the stuff everything is made of.
3. Science? Are you kidding? SCIENCE?
Sebastian ,   Jerusalem   (11.11.10)
The important thing about science is that it is based on the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. The success of the method is what gives science its merits. If Laitman wants "to present the spiritual ideas of the Kabbalah as a science", then he is lying, or doesn't know a think about science.
4. this isn't Kabbalah this is someone's bubble gum version!
(11.11.10)
Ynet really you should know better...you could have had the headline editor put the word Kabbalah in quotes so we'd all know that it is the bubble gum mega money making version and not the real deal!
5. #2 & #4: Rambam view Kabbalah is "Jewish Scientology"
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (11.11.10)
All Kabbalah is quackery for the ignorant and superstitious. Rambam fought this foolish mysticism--supernatural magic prohibited by Torah--his whole life. Wake up to the real world and the 21st century!
6. #5 G-d has two aspects Chesed & Emet
(11.11.10)
these are Chesed-Kindness (which can be said to come from emotion) and Emet-Truth/Justice (which can be said to come from rational thinking. Further G-d has a Shehina (which si said to be feminine side) and the Yod Kay Vav Kay (which is said to be masculine) Leaving the Rambam out of the discussion and asking you...do you just think therefore you are one sided or do you think and feel?
7. Leave the Rambam out, how convenient.
Eliyahu Konn ,   Powell, OH   (11.11.10)
Is that because the Rambam gets too close to logic for you and your masculine side doesn't like that, or your feminine side?
8. 6 G-d NOT limited to 2 aspects
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (11.11.10)
Only you are. Saying that G-d has only a fem. and masc. side is decidedly human, rather than spiritual, perspective. And don't leave the Rambam out of the discussion. Better to leave you out of the discussion. You're no authority and certainly not on par with the Rambam!
9. 6 Your statement is anthropomorphic
(11.11.10)
10. 6 So Emunah is NOT an aspect of G-d?
(11.11.10)
There's a long list.
11. amusing how none of these TBs have anything to do w/item!
(11.11.10)
Further Ynet editors you need to sharpen your Xtian radar you folks are under serious attack by modern day Xtian crusaders!
12. I THINK I'M GONNA BARF.
(11.12.10)
13. #5: Therefore Rambam had to
Israeli 2   (11.12.10)
return to Earth as a reincarnate to his own grandson the great Ramban... and then he learned and studied kabbalah and defended it with all his mighty soul.
14. 13 Not even then
(11.12.10)
15. Kabbalah=Ecumenism=Global Church=Assimilation
(11.12.10)
You're the frier who is duped.
16. 11 Kabbalist named Yshua Messiah. Its ur radar messed up
(11.12.10)
R' Kaduri, widely acknowledged in Kabbalist circles as the "greatest Kabbalist" of the previous generation, named Yeshua as messiah in writing. Yesssir, the Xtian crusaders--and assimilators leading Jews astray from Torah--are in your own mirror!
17. 15: =Church of George Shwartz. Follow the money.
(11.12.10)
18. Kabbalah gathering transcends religious boundaries
Zsolt Hermann ,   Waganui, New Zealand   (11.13.10)
I actually watched the convention live through the Internet, and I agree with the article, this non-religious scientific wisdom could provide the platform for unity among people while keeping their individual traditions, characteristics
19. Kabbalah gathering transcends religious boundaries
Sigal ,   San Francisco, US   (11.13.10)
Finally something that is about bringing people together regardless of what their background is. Sounds promising...
20. #15: Well said
mea   (11.15.10)
21. Most of the comments here...
JDE ,   Boston, USA   (11.16.10)
... especially #13: "Therefore Rambam had to return to Earth as a reincarnate to his own grandson the great Ramban... and then he learned and studied kabbalah and defended it with all his mighty soul. " demonstrate why there needs to be mandatory intelligence testing as a prerequisite for commenting online.
