Another point is that the Torah is not a document of Pantheism. And the fact that the cult that the Gra excommunicated represents it as pantheistic is bothersome.
The verse they use to support this says in fact the opposite of what they are claiming. אתה הראתה לדעת כי השם הוא האלהים אין עוד מלבדו. They take the end of the verse out of context. The verse simply says that your were shown to know that the Lord is God, there are no others besides him. There are no gods besides God. To claim what they say would mean that the Rambam and Saadia Gaon and all the rishonim and achronim that held God made the world יש מאין ex nihilo some thing from nothing were mistaken and did not understand the Torah. To their way of thinking they would have to say "He made the world from himself."
In order to get the verse to mean what they want they conveniently forget about the first part of the verse.
But this is not the major point. The Torah itself from the first to last verse is very clear that God is not the Creation. He is something or someone beyond it. If God made the world, then he is not the world. If he is the world, then he did not create anything. If you want an honest appraisal of Pantheism you can study Adavaita Hinduism and Spinoza. Jewish religious cults are being dishonest when they present the Torah as pantheism. If you like pantheism then you should study Shankara and the Bahavad Gita and the Veda,-- not Torah.
I should mention however that the main trouble with that cult is that they are wicked and sadistic. And that is definitely not what the Torah requires. They pretend to keep Torah, but the enormous amount of sexual abuse of children and sadistic behaviors is not possible to cover up forever. Eventually people get the idea.
