For anyone who has come to be familiar with the website of Rabbi B. (www.rabbib.com) "spiritual leader" of Congregation Shirat Hayam in Massachusetts will notice that it is a venue for not only self promotion, but offers an array of "cure all's" including endorsing his sister Rebecca Rosen. She claims that she is a medium talking to the other side... He promotes his website regularly on the synagogue's Bimah.

For example, he suggests films such as "What the Bleep?" which presents viewers with pseudo science, secrets of the universe, as if it were based on empirical data, which it is not. Please look at a wide array of posts on culteducation.com for extensive commentary on that film.

Rabbi B. has trade marked "Mensch Coaching" and describes on his website that it's based on "Life Coaching". As is discussed often on this forum, life coaching does not require for any form of certification or training! So what is mensch coaching really based on? He also recommends reading books on Kabbalah written by the discredited cult of the Berg family.

Additionally, Rabbi B. promotes Spiritual Counselling which in itself can be beneficial to a degree. However, many spiritual counselors lack proper training to handle clinical diagnoses such as depression for which a responsible rabbi would refer a congregant to a licensed practicioner from an accredited school. His website offers psychotherapists for which no license is required.

This rabbi's congregation doesn't appear to question his motives. Shouldn't the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism do so?
