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.

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
