Deep in his heart you know gregree would love to be a mussleman <heh> (not even that deep down). Though perhaps if we sent him over to the Holy Land he'd wind up wandering the streets in dirty clothes, half starved, raving down allys claiming he was the return of the messiah? <lol> Apparently the naturalist Kaballah Rabbi's have been a larger influence now on the rich & famous, maybe greggy could convert back to the mother religion and become one with Rabbi Guru? Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis attend Kabbalah guru’s funeral in Safed Israel dailymail.co.uk Hundreds attended Berg's funeral Wednesday, including a number of people who came from abroad to pay their respects at the elaborate ceremony. The funeral was broadcast on live streaming video on the Kabbalah Center's website. The mourners dressed in white, and an espresso stand and cold drinks were served at the site by a catering firm. Dozens of security personnel circulated among those in attendance, a Magen David Adom emergency first aid van was stationed nearby and medical personnel were on standby. Toronto resident Terry Samuels, who came to Israel for the funeral said that he did so because Rabbi Berg was a kind of spiritual teacher for him, performing miracles and supporting him during difficult times. Samuels said Berg enabled him to find meaning in life. Hundreds of others came to the funeral from the United States and Canada as well, Samuels noted. He also mentioned the significance of the location of Berg's grave near the grave sites of the major 16th century figures of the Kabbalah movement. There was something very special about the site, the Canadian said, adding that Berg had studied the writings of Rabbi Isaac Luria and had brought knowledge of Kabbalah to the world. A woman from Jerusalem who identified herself as Shulamit said she had been a follower of Berg's for 45 years. "He was a modest, friendly man who sought peace. He believed in people for who they were, without distinction as to race, religion or gender," she said. "The rabbi influenced my life. My life changed. I learned to let go of things, not to get angry, and to help others. I learned to forgive anyone." A woman named Yael from the center of the country said Rabbi Berg was "like a father" to her. For his part, Samuels said there is no one who can fill Berg's shoes and the future is now dependent on his followers individually. He said they would now have to work harder to bring the knowledge of kabbalah to humanity.
