Kabbalah: Kabbalah Centre
built 222 days ago
Kabbalah is a collective of knowledge with roots in great antiquity. As with all knowledge, various methods of teaching it are possible. The Kabbalah Centre's approach to teaching is to start students with practical methods that do not make previous knowledge of Hebrew and Jewish texts a prerequisite for understanding. In addition to having no knowledge-based barrier-to-entry, the Kabbalah Centre's accessibility is uniquely enhanced by the absence of any religious, gender, age, or marital status discrimination.

Together, Kabbalah Centre International and Lubavitch Inc. will create the third-largest U.S. spiritual company by revenues. The combined company will have a broad geographic reach and customer base, while maintaining a balanced portfolio of real estate, print, media, kosher catering and value-added inspirational merchandise. In particular, the enhanced geographic diversification will enable the new Kabbalah Centre International to extend its fundraising reach amongst Jews and to utilize the Lubavitch Inc. Oligarchs in the Eastern European markets. In turn the merger will enable Lubavitch Inc. to reach out to gentiles and to quadruple the revenue from Chabad Telethon by tapping into the Kabbalah Centre celebrity power.
