Bnei Baruch (also known as Kabbalah Laam, Hebrew: קבלה לעם‎‎) is an universalist esoteric kabbalah association founded by Michael Laitman in 1997. By some estimates, it has around 50,000 followers in Israel, and many more around the world.^[1]

History

Dr. Michael Laitman established Bnei Baruch in 1991, following the passing of his teacher, Rav Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag (The Rabash). He named his group Bnei Baruch (sons of Baruch) to commemorate the memory of his mentor. Bnei Baruch is a non-profit organization for teaching and sharing the wisdom of Kabbalah. To maintain its independence and purity of intentions, Bnei Baruch is not supported, funded, or otherwise tied to any governmental, political or religious entity. The primary source of funding for the organization’s activities is tithing, contributed by students on a voluntary basis. Additional sources of income are donations, proceeds from the sale of Dr. Laitman’s books which are sold at cost, and fees that help cover the expenses associated with some services.
