Alexander, first thing first, this is not an english forum so do attempt to write accordingly. I never said being Jewish is cooler or better, hence your libel is nothing short of false defamation; feel free to appoligize anytime. Now about Michael Laitman, I surely understand how some Judaism-based philosophy without any of the obligations of Judaism may appeal to many people and rightly so this is good for people to start their spiritual growth. However, as far as real Judaism goes, Michael sells the Judaism-Lait version. I think he believes his ideas but he is just a beginner, a russian Jew who accepted only what made sense to him, and dropped the rest that made no sense to him. It's still good for Madonna etc, but Judaism it is not. Yours truly!
