[edit] Bnei Baruch

Utter and shameless self-promotion. Reads like a detailed and seductive "come hither, my dear" brochure. Violates Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines; Wikipedia is not a soapbox; and WP:NN. This new organization is not notable according to any stream of Judaism, and in fact its website says that its founder and leader is not even a rabbi!: "The title “Rav” was given to Dr. Laitman by his students in respect for his teachings and his dedication to spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah throughout the world. Rav Laitman was not ordained as a rabbi by a rabbinical school and does not serve as an orthodox rabbi." see bottom of his home page. Almost all the information about this organization on Google is generated by their websites or by sites that mirror this article. The article about its founder Michael Laitman is also nominated for deletion for the same reasons. Other articles, such as the one about Rabbi Baruch Ashlag have been loaded to "retroactively" promote Michael Laitman and his organization. Note: The same self-promoting editors have "snuck in" Laitman's quotes into Wikiquote, which should also be nominated for deletion for the above reasons. Thank you, IZAK 05:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
