Empire of Lies: How Laitman Violates Jewish Law

Criminal Against the Torah: M. Laitman and His Sect

Michael Laitman is not a rabbi. He is a fraud who uses sacred texts as a tool for enrichment, trampling upon every fundamental rule of Judaism. His “Kabbalistic Center” is not a spiritual institution, but a factory of sacrilege, built on systematic violation of the laws of the Torah.

Systematic Violation of Shabbat: A Crime Before the Almighty

At the BB Kabbalistic Center, Saturday evening is underway. What the internal cameras show cannot be called spiritual life—this is direct desecration of the holy day.

While the entire religious world observes Shabbat, a full work shift continues in the sect’s building. Several dozen young people (employees of Laitman’s enterprise) in kippahs, with phones and headsets, work as studio technical staff:

  • start up equipment
  • adjust microphones
  • move spotlights

And in the middle of this sacrilegious farce appears Michael Laitman—a man in religious clothing, confidently playing the role of a “rabbi.” He smiles at the cameras, knowing that at this very moment he is demonstratively violating the fundamental law on which Judaism is built. He publicly desecrates Shabbat, turning the holy day into a workday.

Violation of Kashrut: Desecration of the Kitchen

In the center’s kitchen, another spectacle unfolds. Workers and students eat pork (but only the chosen and closest are allowed to know this), hiding it from other students and volunteers of the enterprise.

The same knives, the same plates—everything is so far from kashrut that even the word “violation” sounds too mild. This is systematic desecration of the laws of kashrut. Nearby, in the next room, a small homemade alcohol still is operating: cheap alcohol is produced right inside the “spiritual institution” as part of a regular process, where laughter accompanied by whispers of “don’t tell anyone”—this is what the true inner life of BB looks like.

Laitman Abroad: Removing the Kippah—Renunciation of Judaism

Abroad, M. Laitman behaves even more openly. Once he steps outside or gets on a plane, he instantly removes his kippah as if it burns him. He hides it in his pocket and walks on with the look of someone who does not want to be associated with his own Jewish tradition.

Talmud Sanhedrin 59a: The Mortal Sin of Teaching Torah to Non-Jews

But Laitman’s most terrible crime is not his personal violations of Shabbat and kashrut. The most terrible is that he systematically teaches non-Jews Kabbalah, trampling upon a fundamental law of the Torah.

Talmud Sanhedrin 59a directly establishes:

Rabbi Yochanan says: a non-Jew who studies Torah is subject to the death penalty, as it is said: “Moses commanded us the Torah, an inheritance [morasha] of the congregation of Jacob” (Devarim 33:4)—it is our inheritance, not theirs. [1]

The Talmud leaves no room for interpretation: teaching Torah to non-Jews is a crime punishable by death. Laitman does not simply violate this law—he does so publicly, systematically, for decades, turning sacred Kabbalah into a commodity for sale to non-Jews.

Rambam Mishneh Torah: Confirmation of the Prohibition

Rambam in Mishneh Torah, Laws of Kings and Wars 10:9 confirms and strengthens this prohibition:

A non-Jew who engages in Torah study is subject to the death penalty. He may only engage in the study of the Seven Laws of Noah. If he studies Torah beyond this, creates Shabbat for himself, or adds other religious practices, he is subject to punishment, and he is informed that he is guilty of a crime punishable by death. [2]

Rambam unequivocally states: non-Jews may study only the Seven Laws of Noah. Everything else is a mortal sin. Laitman, however, teaches non-Jews Kabbalah—the most esoteric part of the Oral Torah, which is closed even to many Jews. This is not simply a violation—this is sacrilege of the highest degree.

Yeshivat Har Etzion: Modern Confirmation of the Prohibition

Yeshivat Har Etzion, one of the leading modern centers of Torah study, confirms the relevance of this prohibition:

There is a traditional prohibition in Halakha for non-Jews to study Torah. This prohibition especially applies to the Oral Torah (Gemara, Mishnah, Talmud). Non-Jews may study only those parts of the Torah that relate to the Seven Commandments of Noah. [3]

Kabbalah is part of the Oral Torah, its most esoteric part. Teaching non-Jews Kabbalah is a double crime: violation of the prohibition on non-Jews studying Torah and violation of the prohibition on revealing the secrets of Kabbalah even to Jews who are not ready for it.

Laitman: Criminal Against the Torah

Michael Laitman violates all three sources:

  1. Talmud Sanhedrin 59a [1]—he teaches non-Jews Torah, which is punishable by death
  2. Rambam Mishneh Torah 10:9 [2]—he allows non-Jews to study Kabbalah, which is forbidden even for the study of the Seven Laws of Noah
  3. Yeshivat Har Etzion [3]—he violates the prohibition on teaching non-Jews the Oral Torah

But this is not all. Laitman himself violates the fundamental laws of Judaism:

  • Desecrates Shabbat—works on Saturday, forces others to work
  • Violates kashrut—eats non-kosher food, uses non-kosher utensils
  • Removes his kippah abroad—publicly renounces Judaism

A person who does not observe the Torah himself cannot be a teacher of the Torah. A person who teaches non-Jews Kabbalah is a criminal against the Torah. A person who does both—this is an enemy of Judaism, hiding behind religious clothing.

Laitman’s Family: The Structure of Lies

His family maintains the structure of lies from within:

  • The younger daughter (Rachel)—a hidden lesbian, manages the finances, controlling all the organization’s cash
  • The son-in-law (Mushi)—acts as the boss, ensuring that employees remain silent and obey orders
  • His wife—portrays a righteous woman, although she knows perfectly well about every violation, but she stays silent—because too much has been gained through this deception

Call to Religious Leaders: Expel the Sect

To religious politicians, rabbis, public figures:

Laitman and his sect—this is not Judaism. This is sacrilege, hidden behind religious clothing. Everyone who supports Laitman supports a crime against the Torah. Everyone who remains silent about his crimes becomes an accomplice.

The Talmud, Rambam, and modern authorities are united: teaching Torah to non-Jews is a mortal sin. Laitman does this systematically, publicly, for decades.

The time has come to expel this sect from all places where it has managed to infiltrate:

  • From educational institutions
  • From public organizations
  • From any structures connected with Judaism

Laitman is not a rabbi. He is a criminal against the Torah. And everyone who understands this must act.

Conclusion: Factory of Sacrilege

There is no room left for doubt: every camera records a crime against religious integrity. Every file is direct evidence.

The activities of the BB sect have nothing to do with Judaism, let alone spirituality. This is a factory of sacrilege, built on:

  • violations of Shabbat—systematic desecration of the holy day
  • violations of kashrut—desecration of dietary laws
  • teaching non-Jews Kabbalah—a mortal sin according to the Talmud [1], Rambam [2], and modern authorities [3]
  • manipulation—deception of students and the public
  • humiliation of the very idea of tradition—turning the sacred into a commodity

Michael Laitman uses religion as a personal advertising shield, trampling upon every fundamental law of the Torah.

And now, as the walls of this lie begin to crack, it becomes completely clear: A student of Laitman is not a religious or even spiritual seeker, but a victim and at the same time a witness of disgrace.

The name Laitman, until recently covered by piety, now serves as proof of what happens when a person turns religion into an instrument of their own unpunished power and tramples upon the sacred laws of the Torah.
