.... and you can't convert into it. It's Jewish religious STUDY at very deepest levels and Madonna ain't qualified.

She's bought into a bunch of hooey practised by a bunch of crooks and they're laughing with her money all the way to the bank. Kabbalah water? Kabbalah skin cream? Kabbalah purses? All a bunch of hooey.

... Tom Cruise and Scientology and thetans and spaceships and stuff. In other words, charlatans.

What Madonna "studies" has nothing to do with the Jewish writings from which Kabbalah is taken, primarily the Zohar.

I think the most stomach churning thing I read was Madonna taking a 900-year-old copy of the Zohar and giving it to Brit Brit as a wedding gift. Sharp cookies, ain't they? Turning a 900-year-old tome into a coffee table book.

In Jewish tradition, they generally discourage people from studying Kabbalah until they've spent considerable time learning the basics of Judaism, the laws, the scripture, etc., because it's like learning advanced math when you haven't mastered 1 + 2 = 3.

was a news program (20/20, Dateline, Primetime, whatever) that interviewed some "religious leader" who has helped these celebs "learn" Kabbalah and then talked to actual rabbis and theology experts. The experts all said the same thing you did. Oh, and ITA with you about the book. Gives me the shudders thinking what that book has probably been through in Brit's care.

... Sean Preston's choco fingerprints all over it. ;-D

Britney was supremely naive and searching for some kind of help and guidance back then before the snit hit the fan. I think Madonna took advantage of that. I think Madonna sux.
