I am in America and deal with their North American branch. They insist they are authentic, yet something feels very wrong on a &#8216;gut level&#8217;. An increasingly large group of ex-students say it is a cult. Laitman often seems very hateful and judgemental in his daily class. I watched Rabbi Chaim Richman&#8217;s &#8216;Kabbalah&#8217; video with interest. There seemed to be a little fresh air and sunlight by comparison. I am not a Jew. The Bnei Baruch people say that Kabbalah is not about religion and define &#8216;Jews&#8217; and &#8216;Israel&#8217; as referencing those that have an awakened point in the heart who can be but are not necessarily Jewish.  Is this correct?  Please help me, I&#8217;ve lost trust for Dr. Laitman and his huge organization that is so focused on the dissemination of a kind of altruistic communism that they call &#8216;Integral Education&#8217; that supposedly comes right from the teaching of Rabbi Yehuda Leib Halevi Ashlag through his son Rabbi Baruch Shalom Halevi Ashlag to the non-rabbi Michael Laitman. Sometimes I feel like we are all being brainwashed. Please help me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you connect me with an authentic Rabbi and Kabbalist that teaches authentic Kabbalah in English?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3023],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-customs-and-practices"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8006\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brit-olam.com\/ask\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
