Madonna claims to be Ambassador for Judaism
Posted by rabbiyonah on September 19, 2007
Y-love has a great piece over at Jewlicious.com about this latest abomination of Madonna and her puppeteers Berg & Co.
This is perhaps the most audacious usurpation of Judaism we’ve seen yet by a Kabbalah center graduate. Ambassador? When did she get citizenship?
Ignoring the fact that it’s more than just a little patronizing to Jews-by-choice to declare yourself an “ambassador for Judaism” just because you give over excerpts of Kabbalah Centre philosophy (or, perhaps, the week’s “spiritual forecast”), for Madonna to consider herself the “voice” of any Jewish community or of “Judaism” is just not realistic. Rabbis in Israel are so furious over her visit that one respected kabbalist wouldn’t even mention her name. One can not be an ambassador for a group against that group’s will.
Madonna – or should we say Miriam – has been spending the Holy Days in the Holy Land. Along with all the other brainwashed actors that fall for the Bergermeister.
