1. I love Madonna...
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (07.31.09)
I think we're lucky to call her a friend. Her heart is in the right place. And her dance music is great.
2. rich people
gg   (07.31.09)
Only rich people have time, money and patience for this (bs) stuff; but good for her! Anyway - she's a great singer, and at her age - she looks great! very nice:) looking forward to her concert
3. MADONNA DESERVES RESPECT BUT KABBALA IS HOCUS POCUS
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (07.31.09)
BUT KABBALAH IS JUST TALE, STORY. I HAVE READ IT. YOU MEET NOTHING. EXACTLY NOTHING. *** ANYWAY ! HAVE YOU HEARD THAT SHE ONLY DRINKS ISRAELI WATER ! *** NO. I WONT TALK ABUT SEX. NO WAY. I RESPECT HER KABBALAAAAA :)
4. she wrote this?
oferdesade ,   israel   (07.31.09)
or did someone get paid to? great singer, not so bad actress. maybe even a nice person. but this seems to be a bit close to jewish evangelism (if there is such an oxymoronic term) for comfort.
5. she sings nice, I can dance 2 her music I give it a 9...but,
(07.31.09)
like she's lacking something in the intellect department...somehow it sounds like Madonna and Sheri Arison are two halves of the same soul and you know I think they are both missing another half! :) Yes I know this is like gossip...something we shouldn't say but it is so entertaining and fun to be just a bit naughty sometimes! :)
6. Kabbalah Centre said to be a cult
Anonymous believer ,   NY   (07.31.09)
Hasn't Madonna ever heard that there are those who say the Kabbalah Centre is a cult? Philip Burg, the insurance salesman who is said to have run off with his non-Jewish secretary while married to his wife (that's the allegation) is the descendent of a long line of Kabbalah masters? Why not find out how Berg got the manuscripts of his late father-in-law, who was a Kabbalist? Kabbalah is like nuclear physics. It is not a subject for study for everyone. it is potentially quite powerful. It is potentially quite dangerous. Anyone seriously interested in spiritual growth can read about true Kabbalah on websites like www.aish.com and can go seek true teachers in Jerusalem, in Safed, and even in New York. But first one has to have mastered the behavioral regimen of orthodox Judaism, the mitzvot (commandments), etc, otherwise one cannot "receive" (the origin of the word Kabbalah is 'receiving') the true knowledge.
7. gg @ 2; If Madonna is rich it is entierly her falt.
leo ,   usa   (07.31.09)
BTW, nothing falls from the sky, not even for Madonna. Stop whining, would you.
8. ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU @ 3; I do not know what Kabbala will do
leo ,   usa   (07.31.09)
without you. It will be tough, I am sure.
9. to : Madonna
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (07.31.09)

10. excellent ! I now know why I always liked her.
avi   (07.31.09)
11. the most important thing she says is that
avi   (07.31.09)
she discovered that "Life no longer seemed like a series of Random events. I started to see patterns in life" and from this onwards that her being has a meaning. From a woman who had dwelled in so many myths, a very sensitive and intelligent woman, this is a great event. G-d bless !!
12. SHE CALLED rabbbi NAIVE ..LOL
.....DACON9   (07.31.09)
madonna GIVES HIM WHAT I READ 5 MILLION $$ A YEAR.. HE SELLS BOTTLED WATER FOR $30.00 16 oz.. IS THATS NAIVE...? IMAGINE IF MADONNA REALLY LEARNED TORAH ORTHODOX JUDAISM AND NOT A SIDE SHOW.... SHE WOULD REALLY LEARN ABOUT WISDOM AND DEPTH AND 'FEEL' THE ONE GD OF ISRAEL. MADONNA, BY THE WAY: your uncle in Brooklyn recently retired said hello to you. He said he hasnt heard from you in years. the stereo repair uncle. NIce man, fine man.
13. Beautiful. Madonna reminds me of the female leaders
Ya'aqove ,   Cape Cod   (07.31.09)
in Israel- Miriam, Rahav who marries Yehoshua (Joshua), Deborah, Judith, Yael, etc I hope more and more left wing and right wing Jews and people get into this.
14. Do you think that Madonna is reading these talkbacks?
Michael Berg ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.31.09)
btw, my name really is Michael Berg. I also found it funny that I had the same name as that other Michael Berg. But, it's a common name. My family's name wasn't "Berg" fifty years ago. However, the immigration official changed the name he was told since he couldn't pronounce it and certainly had no clue how to write it down. btw, Madonna, in the case you're reading this, take a look at my site: www.torahandisrael.com It has some great music on it! There's sure to be something you like. (Although music is not the main purpose of the site.)
15. good for her :)
ange love ,   NYC (USA)   (07.31.09)
i'm happy to hear that Kaballah has brought some peace and order to her life. She's a better person for it, although it may not be for everyone. Or everyone may not be ready for Kaballah.
16. Madonna, I am proud of you!
Bob ,   Boston USA   (07.31.09)
Madonna, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I have alot of respect for your determined search for real meaning in life. There are many ways to learn and live Jewish wisdom and you have found the one that speaks to you and that is very beautiful, like you. Thanks for being a positive and genuine example of how everyone can make needed changes, find what they are seeking and make themselves better people. With love, from Bob of Boston.
17. From Jehovah's Witness to Islam
observer   (07.31.09)
Michael Jackson’s faith took a few sharp turns. Jackson was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness by his devout mother, but rumours began circulating in 2006 that the star was turning away from the family creed. In June 2005, Jackson was spotted wearing the red string bracelet favored by followers of Kabbalah. Sources reported that Michael had been turned on to the mystical offshoot of Judaism by close friend, Elizabeth Taylor. But around that time, Jackson also began dabbling in Islam. His brother Jermaine—who is also known by his Muslim name, Muhammad Abdul Aziz—converted to Islam in 1989. And it seems that, with his 2005 trial for child molestation in full swing, Michael chose to follow suit. “When I came back from Mecca, I got him a lot of books,” Jermaine explained. “And he asked me lots of things about my religion, and I told him that it’s peaceful and beautiful.”

21. MADONNA/KABBALAH RULES!
Stefan ,   Milwaukie, OR   (07.31.09)
KABBALAH IS NOT HOCUS POCUS OR A CULT! SATAN WORSHIPPERS THAT JUDGE AS YORUSELF ARE THE CULT OF DARKNESS..NOW GO FUCK OFF AND FIND THE LIGHT! WWW.MATTHEWSHEPARD.ORG WWW.KABBALAH.COM WWW.MADONNALICIOUS.COM WWW.THESECRET.TV WWW.KATYPERRY.COM
22. Great... Does she know the difference between Alef & Beis?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (07.31.09)
Does she know the word "B'reshit"? Is it not the basic foundation for somebody trying to explore the mystical depth of the Torah - called Kabbalah? It's interesting how everything can be packaged & gift wrapped Hollywood style now days..
23. Kabbalah is Illuminating
Sarah ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.31.09)
After drifting away from Judaism I took a course on Kaballah and found that it actually contained the essence of Judaism without the negative impact of most of the petty decisions made by the Rabbinate over the last two millenia. I attended the London Kaballah Centre for several Friday night and Shabbat events and saw that Madonna was devout and knowledgeable regarding Kaballah.
24. madona dont read this tbs you fools

25. started seeing patterns in life?she is naked without modesty
observer   (07.31.09)
26. Phoney Baloney, with Spelling Mistakes
Common sense ,   USA   (07.31.09)
madonna is a fraud and a phoney. if she repected kaballah she would never have incorporated tefillin into her sexually degrading act. She has fame and money but no soul. she longs for one and thinks she found it but she has not. She found a toy to play with like the Malawi children she adopts and hands off to her support staff. they are just props. kaballah is not some toy for her to play with, it requires great intellect and study to appreciate. madonna is just a poser looking for redemption as she peddles her soft porn act. One day she will have to explain to those kids why she is a public sex pot while professing spirituality. its an oxymoron, Madonna.
27. Cult
Sam ,   NY   (07.31.09)
No one has claimed that Kabbalah or most of those who study it are a cult. Many have claimed that the Kabbalah Centre is either a cult or uses cult-like tactics. It is also a very lucrative business. The question is whether what they are peddling is worthwhile or authentic. I am not aware of a single Jewish kabbalist who takes anything Philip Berg or his son, born to a woman who may not even be Jewish, seriously. Buyer, beware! Do not believe every infomercial published on JPost. Go to sites like www. aish.com to learn about authentic Kabbalah.
28. Dear Madonna (Esther) ,
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (07.31.09)
I invite you to visit us at the beautiful,special and very holy Ari Ashkenazi Synagogue in Zefat (Safed) Israel,the home of the great Kabbalists and one of the greatest of the : the DIVINE Rabbi Isaac Luria (also known as the Ari or arizal .)
29. It took the Baal Shem Tov 40 years to understand Kabbalah
Chaim ,   Baltimore Md   (07.31.09)
It took the Baal Shem Tov 40 years to understand Kabbalah and Madonna gets in in 6 months? She is so lost in the huckster that peddle this that she has no clue she is being taken.... May Hashem have mercy on the souls of these Millionaires who are leading other millionaires down this wasteland of fake mysticism ...
30. If Madonna gets something out of it then....
M. Duvduvani ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.31.09)
If Madonna gets something out of it then good for her. Be happy that she found something in Judaism that enlightens her....since many Jews themselves don't even bother!
