MADONNA: `I'M AN AMBASSADOR FOR JUDAISM'
MADONNA is celebrating the Jewish New Year by joking she's the world's new 'ambassador for Judaism.'
Madona and Guy Ritchie meeting Israeli President Shimon Peres. Jerusalem, Israel - 15.09.07
The pop superstar and famous Kabbalah devotee met with Israeli President Shimon Peres on Saturday (16Sep07) during a family trip to the Holy Land.
Peres gave Madonna a copy of the Old Testament, while the singer presented the politician with a volume of Kabbalah `bible' The Book of Splendor, before announcing her commitment to Judaism - even though she isn't Jewish.
Local newspaper the Yediot Ahronot reports Madonna told Peres, "You don't know how popular the Book of Splendor is among Hollywood actors... Everyone I meet talks to me only about that. I am an ambassador for Judaism."
Another Israeli publication claims Madonna told the President,"I can't believe that I'm celebrating the new year with you in Israel. It's a dream come true."
Madonna isn't the only big-name star spending the New Year in Israel - Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Madonna's longtime pal Rosie O'Donnell and fashion designer Donna Karan are also in the Holy Land.
