His followers call him with the honorific title of Rav or Rabbi, even he has never been formally ordained as a rabbi, and he doesn't perform religious services.[1] BackgroundHis followers normally call him Doctor Laitman, over the base of a doctorate that he received in 2004 by the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The background of Laitman can be found not in religion but in science. Interest in judaismThe doctor developed an interest in the traditional Rabbinic Judaism only after he moved to Israel in 1974. Laitman got some lessons on Kabbalah in the home of the kabbalist Phillip Berg. Soon after, in 1979, he became the follower of the Rabbi and kabbalist Baruch Ashlag, the son of the famous Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, also known by the name Baal HaSulam. Bnei Baruch OrganizationAt the beginning of the 1990s, Laitman founded the organization Bnei Baruch, (in English: "The Sons of Baruch"). In that moment, his students were only a small study group that met in his apartment in Bnei Brak. The group grew up slowly. In 1997, the group started to offer courses of Kabbalah for free, through the radio and the Internet (the group created a TV channel in 2007). The organization moved its headquarters from Bnei Brak to the city of Petach Tikvah. Through the Internet, the association Bnei Baruch started to gather followers worldwide. Nowadays, the group is present in 107 countries, it has 150.000 students, from them 50.000 are living in the State of Israel. About two million people visit Bnei Baruch's website each year. The group organizes conferences every year in Tel Aviv, with an assistance of 6.000 people, including some dignataries and local politicians. In 2006, three membres of the Israeli government, members of the Likud political party, attended the Bnei Baruch's conference. Arvut OrganizationIn the year 2011, in a period of internal turmoil in Israel due the Arab spring, the Bnei Baruch association started the Arvut movement (mutual responsibility), a non-political social movement.
