KABBALAH - THE RELIGION OF THE ONE-WORLDERS
If I were going to make a bet, and I'm not a betting woman, I'd put my money on Kabbalah being the future world religion. Right now there is a practitioner of Kabbalah on a book tour in North America which began October 9, and will continue until October 24--a practitioner with interesting connections.
Rav Michael Laitman, Ph.D.
