Visiting pop idol Madonna toasted the Jewish new year with Israeli President Shimon Peres and declared herself an "ambassador for Judaism," local newspapers reported Sunday. The singer, who is not Jewish, met Peres at his official Jerusalem residence on Saturday evening, and the two exchanged gifts, with Madonna receiving a lavishly-bound copy of the Old Testament. She presented Peres a volume of "The Book of Splendor," the guiding text of Jewish mysticism, or Kabbalah, inscribed, "To Shimon Peres, the man I admire and love, Madonna," the Yediot Ahronot daily said.
Madonna arrived in Israel on Wednesday night, the eve of the new year, with her film director husband, Guy Ritchie, to attend a Kabbalah conference. Other celebrities who flew in for the event included movie star Demi Moore and her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, ex-talk show host Rosie O'Donnell and fashion designer Donna Karan. "You don't know how popular the Book of Splendor is among Hollywood actors," Yediot quoted Madonna as telling Peres. "Everyone I meet talks to me only about that. I am an ambassador for Judaism."
Madonna's interest in Kabbalah in recent years has been criticized by Orthodox Jews, who say it is an abomination.
Rabbis were particularly incensed by Madonna's song, "Isaac," about the revered 16th-century Kabbalist rabbi Yitzhak Luria, which featured on her 2005 album, "Confessions on a Dance Floor." Madonna, who was raised a Roman Catholic, has taken the Hebrew name Esther, and has been seen wearing a red thread on her wrist in a Jewish tradition to ward off the evil eye. During her visit she plans to visit sites sacred to Kabbalists. It was not known how long she intends to stay. Madonna paid her first visit to Israel three years ago, on another Kabbalah-centered trip.

But between the two of them Brtiany Spears is more likely to lose her head first, yes?
The headless ambassador for Judaism.
>declared herself an “ambassador for Judaism
I declare myself God.
I would like to hereby offer my condolences to all Jews worldwide.
“The singer, who is not Jewish.....”
and, that statement alone should have ended this silly article from going any further.
Well, if Bill Clinton can be the first black president, I guess Madonna can be the first shicksie spokesperson for Jews.
Thanks, we’ll certainly need it.

I wonder if she gave him her first book of pictures she was in? My stepdaughter is mixed up in this cult of jewish religion, being raised reformed. She is off the deep end now preparing for her wedding. We have to pay for a lot of extras to adhere to her standaards now.
What do the REAL Jews have to say about this?
Now, I wish she’d actually READ the Old Testament!!..
Jewish Madonna? Uh, not since Mary... ;)
I’m a Catholic who was raised Presbyterian. Can I be an ambassador for Judaism, too? What’s the salary, anyway?

if they are her standards let her pay for them.
OJ gets arrested and Madonna is now an Ambassador to Israel. Oye vey. What a weekend!
She’s closer to the “abomination of desolation” if you ask me.
I hope she doesn’t discover Sufism.
I don't think her name is or will be written in the Book of Life.baruch HaShem
What difference does it make if the thing is empty?
...and another reason for those of us who like Israel to wish people like Madonna would go sully something else and leave things we appreciate alone.
And she is also into palindromes and femnist freaky wymyn and wants the state of Ohio to change it’s name to Oyhyo.
As a recovering Catholic, I can only say to our Jewish friends, “Sorry, but she’s all yours now.”

Sorry for the sick link, but it does not appear that Madonna will be Orthodox anytime soon.
We have to pay for a lot of extras to adhere to her standaards now.
Does she have a job? If she has to work to support her own lunacy she may reevaluate her “needs.”
“...Hope he goes down in flames....”
So did I. I bet she got a sweetheart deal, though.
Why the H@LL is Shimon Peres, the PRESIDENT of Israel meeting with such a HO?
Because he’s a liberal, and the president of Israel is more of a figurehead, the PM has all the power.
Cause he's a pimp?
Still....he’s a JEW who should not want within 10 feet of that skank.
Yikes.....you’re even rougher on him than I was! :)
I wouldn’t put in print what I would say about you Madonna except for the fact that you are NO Madonna! Hang it up and go home... You’re SO OVER.
Me me me me me!
Now THAT'S funny!!! LOL
NO she is not she is ambassoror of being Ho that all Alouette LOL!
So now Rosie O'Donnell is a Qabbalist?
Whatever text these people are reading certainly doesn't move them to support a pro-Israel foreign policy, that's for certain!
I’ve never actually heard rosie or madonna bash Israel’s policies. Madonna said it was her “dream” to go to Israel and meat Pres. Peres; they’re probably more pro-israel than Kos kids or other loony leftists.
She’s a mockery to every religion she seems to espouse. I wouldn’t ever consider her an ambassador of anything other than her own self.
1982-Present: Singer of vapid songs about sex, sex, and more sex.
1982-Present: Assorted outfits, showing more and more of herself, whilst performing the above duties.
1982-Present: Regular attempts to "reinvent" herself, among which are: Movies (Desperately Seeking Susan, Evita, Dick Tracy, that bomb with Sean Penn), husbands (Sean Penn, Guy Richie), Books (Sex, some stupid thing about Roses, another stupid thing about something stupid), Children (poor dears. My recurring nightmare is that my son marries Lourdes...), Religion (Eastern, then Kaballah, gosh, what's next?), and fashion (gee....does that include face-lifts?).
Wow. Honestly, do you REALLY think someone with these credentials would be accepted by your average Hasid as an "Ambassador of Judaism?"
And I didn't even mention the smack with Britney, or the phoney British accent. Or her hands.
“I declare myself God.”
Why not, Leftards do it without even thinking.
....and Michael Moore is an ambassador for Weight Watchers.
Esther?
Just one name?
OK baby! Strut your stuff in Gaza!
