People can't be forced to convert. They do it if they want to. If she's building Kaballah schools then fine but she definitely doesn't have the power to make people walk through the school door. At least Kaballah is based on spirituality and introspection (I'm not a Kaballist btw) not some crap about aliens who invaded the world and originated humans and shit like that (yeah, I'm talking about the other cult - Scientology).
Of course people can be forced to convert. Look at the situation in Malawi. The dad gives up his kid because he can't afford to feed, house, clothe or educate him. Some 'nice christian lady' like Vadge comes along and says "hey, I'm going to give all this money to the orphanage and build a nice school but you have to agree to base your education on the incorrect interpretations of Kaballah by Philip and Micheal Berg, a former used car salesman and his son. If you don't, your kid can't go to school here." She isn't holding a gun to thier heads but close enough.
