I cannot even begin to understand this religion, but I can totally understand how a celebrity can get involved with it. It's less about the beliefs of the religion, and more about the community that the religion offers.
As for Kabbalah, If I understand it correctly, It's basically a "Kabbalah Lite" as I've heard it called. I don't know alot about the religion, but with quotes like:
Quote:

"The Rav leads his disciples in the Kaddish prayer, shouting its words as if in a rage. Then he interrupts the conventional service and begins chanting "Chernobyl" and other names I can't identify. A devotee explains, straight-faced, that these are all names of nuclear power plants: The Rav is trying to heal the problem of nuclear waste, which the Centre's devotees believe is spreading aids"

I can't help but put it in the same category as Scientology.
