The UTUBE Kabbalist

Rabbi Avraham Shira 

The Rambam in his preface to Hilchos Dei'us, notes that when Hashem created the human being, He created him so that his offspring going forward shouldn't  think alike. In other words every human being should have his own independent thoughts and those thoughts should not be necessarily be the same as his siblings, or neighbors. Because if everyone thought alike we couldn't function as a society.

 For example, we cannot have everyone be a doctor, or everyone be a lawyer. For society to function we need doctors, lawyers accountants, shoe makers, tailors, builders, bakers, chefs, rabbis etc, and of course "Kabbalists" 

But just because someone chose to be a doctor, that doesn't mean that he will be a good one, there are good doctors and they are bad ones. There are good lawyers and there are very bad ones. There are good chefs and there are really awful ones. Similarly, there are holy kabbalists and there are not so holy kabbalists!

Which brings me to Rabbi Avraham Shira who has hundreds of videos of his teachings on UTube. I don't know in what category he fits in vis a vis genuine and holy kabbalists . But what I do know is that he has been alleged to have strange "minhagim" !

Rabbi Avraham Shira 

Rabbi Shira has a bio that describes his journey and his profession as a Kabbalist and a therapist! 

 To whom is he teaching the Holy Kabbalah? 

If you look at the comments on his videos be it on Facebook or Utube, you will notice that they aren't Jewish at all and according to the good rabbi himself, he boasts that his followers are Christians from Africa! 

So this Holy Kabbalist is teaching the deep secrets of our Holy Torah to Christians! 

G-d chose the Jewish people specifically to give the Torah as a gift! Except for the 7 Mitzvois of Bnei Noach, it is prohibited for  any Jew to teach Torah to goyim. We recently learned in the daf that Kabbalah can only be thought to two people at a time. 

This rabbi, the "kabbalist" also has a strange "minhag" and that is hanging out with Yochannan (John) Mahler a publisher of porn that discuses non-consensual violence against women and unashamedly praises pedofilia . This Mahler is an "expert" in BDSM and S&M and other perversions! He also walks around in a "kilt"

Yochannon (John) Mahler

Reading this you are probably thinking so what's the proof that the good rabbi has any connection with Mr. Porn Mahler, just because he posed with him , really means nothing!

Correct! Just because someone poses with a guy really means nothing, but here comes the kicker!

In addition to all his "maalis," his attributes, Rabbi Shira, is also a Shadchan! 

 Rabbi Shira convinced an innocent girl from a frum family, a girl who made Aliya all by herself, to marry this pervert. The young girl was learning in a seminary up in northern Israel, where Rabbi Shira was mentoring her. 

Where the good kabbbalist picked up this strange bird, John Mahler, only G-D Knows, but what is certain is that he knew that Mahler was a writer of violent porn when he set them up and married them. And if he  didn't know then, he was informed by the family and given evidence. John Mahler  frequently drives  to this tzaddik to spend time with the "chushivah" Shira family!

The girl had called her family right after the wedding and wanted out, she was exposed to Mahler's perversion and didn't want any part of it . People and family who are close to the situation say that the kabbalist influenced the  young innocent girl to cut off complete ties with her family and encouraged her to remain in this alleged "abusive" relationship! When the concerned family reached out to Shira, the good rabbi stopped communicating with them and refused all contacts! 

In kabbalah there is a concept called אין סוף, but the family does want a סוף to this nightmare allegedly generated by Shira! 

So my readers what are your ideas?
