In the best of tabloid traditions, I give you the above headline. But seriously, it's good to see that Israel is taking some action against those Jews who feel that they can exploit others in the name of Kabbalah.
According to Ynetnews:
Police arrest Shaul Youdkevitch, head of Kabbalah Centre in Israel, on suspicion he extracted money from cancer patient, convinced her donations will make her recover from illness.
Hopefully others will come out and reveal how they have been taken for a ride by the Kabbalah Centre. Sure, they may have done some good, but there are also important questions that need asking as to how the Kabbalah Centre operates. As it stands, the Kabbalah Centre has many supporters but equally, it has been accused of exploiting others for financial gain when they are at their most low.
This case in Israel could just be the tip of a worldwide iceberg which looks into how the Kabbalah Centre works.
Could they arrest Madonna while they're at it?
