An Atheistic Examination of the Culture of Death
Kabbalacaust - Thu, Feb 3, 2005
The Jews brought the Holocaust upon themselves by rejecting Kabbalah, says a senior figure in of the Kabbalah Centre -- a sect patronized by Madonna and Demi Moore. This outraged Rabbi Immanuel Schochet, a "genuine" Kabbalah scholar who considers the Centre to be a cult. But Schochet doesn't explain why he believes the Centre's explanation to be wrong, or offer his own theory about the true causes of the Holocaust or God's role therein. Instead, he launches an ad hominen attack against the Centre for its alleged exploitation of the rich and the vulnerable. True as that may all be, it's perfectly irrelevant to the question posed.
I couldn't find any of Rabbi Schochet's thoughts on the Holocaust online. But he does post some of his wisdom on Kabbala Online.Org. There, he explains why true Jewish mysticism can never be "mumbo jumbo" or a cult:
It is not speculative philosophy based on human insight nor theories derived from human reasoning. It is a study, as it were, of Divinity and of the relationship between G-d and His Creation, based on the premises of revealed truth.
"Revealed truth" being, of course, the Torah. So abandon your human insight, experience and reasoning in favor of a book chock full of stories about God's vengeance and genocide. Maybe the Rabbi's right after all -- the Holocaust wasn't caused by the rejection of Kabbalah.

Maybe it was caused by an outbreak of Jews thinking hebrew words in the bathroom?

Are you seriously suggesting that accepting the Kabbalah caused the Holocaust?

Oh man is this Judaism thing is confoosing. Whatever happened to "kill 'em all and let Me sort 'em out"? That's the kinda God I can understand! Not believe in, but understand it: of course!

We all know the holocaust happened because Anne Frank snuck a piece of pork in her mouth when she was 2 years old.
