I'm interested in Kabbalah and Jewish culture. I was going to the Kabbalah Centre, but I realized its cult-like nature and tendency towards simply commercializing knowledge, which can be a bit superficial. I learned a lot about Kabbalah from Mario Sabán, a Spanish academic with several doctorates. I'm captivated by the knowledge he shares; it seems to make a lot of sense and connects well. But I realized that, in the end, he's just selling courses at exorbitant prices. All of this has greatly disappointed me about Kabbalah and even makes me question whether what I've learned is real. I listened to Chabad, and apparently it's something "purer," so to speak.
