A real sign that the Kabbalah centre is not driven by spirit but by cash is that instead of making Kabbalah associated with Torah & God, it is synonymous today with Kabbalywood.

Kabbalah Makes Its Way To Chicago: Kabbalah Centers Popping Up In The Midwest

(CBS) CHICAGO Hollywood stars often speak out about their devotion to their religion: Mel Gibson's Catholicism, Richard Gere's Buddhism, and Tom Cruise's Scientology.

Now, Madonna is leading the trend toward Hollywood's new wisdom, a trend that's made its way to Chicago. CBS 2's Antonio Mora reports.

It’s all the rage in Hollywood. Madonna, Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher all say they’ve found religion in the ancient and mystical study of Kabbalah.

And respect to Rabbi Sherwin Wein who is quoted:

"Kabbalah is being presented as a kind of new age philosophy. One of the greatest messages of Kabbalah is that it's not about you. It's rather about God and your relationship to God," Sherwin said.

It’s all the rage in Hollywood. Madonna, Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher all say they’ve found religion in the ancient and mystical study of Kabbalah.

Once upon a time, the Red String was enough, now you have to have it encased in plastic, I guess so it doesnt wear out. Silly. Nothing to do with mysiticism, Kabbalah or Judiasm. Does hae a lot to do with marketing and greed though.

The Kabbalah Center (KC), which includes Madonna, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Roseanne and other celebrity members, has marketed another product that may soon catch on as a practical replacement for its often touted “Red String.”

Bangle for sixty bucks

The “authentic Red String from Jerusalem” is now embedded in a resin bracelet.Potential buyers are being told the bracelet “is meant to show devotion to the mystical practice and to offer protection from negative energy” says Deidre Woollard at Luxist.

However, the new wrist wear/ware will be sold for twice the price of the old model. The regular “Red String” is $26.00, but those that want the new “bangle” will need to cough up sixty bucks.

This is yet one more product to add to the ever-growing list of retail merchandise marketed by the KC that includes candles, incense, soap, bath oil, an energy drink and of course that very special “Kabbalah Water.”

This month a 60-page criminal indictment came down on Hollywood PI Anthony Pellicano. The alleged wiretapper “was trying to gain a tactical advantage for his clients by uncovering embarrassing information on their courtroom opponents” reports the Los Angeles Times.

More interesting is that LA lawyer Bert Fields, well known for his hardball legal maneuvers, is apparently implicated.

“The names cited in an indictment of private eye Anthony Pellicano read like a road map leading to Bertram Fields and his famous clients” reported the Times.

Among the famous that Fields has represented are stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta. He also took up the cause of Madonna’s Kabbalah Centre, when the controversial group was exposed through a Radar Magazine series.

Lohan opened the show wearing a B&W Valentino gown, stomping down the runway (trailed by a silver Saturn Sky convertible) to the snarling strains of The Pretenders' “Precious.” Then she blew a big mmwwah to photographers, revealing a red string cabala bracelet.

Oh no, they've got her too!
