Madonna meets with Shimon Peres
Posted: 16 September 2007 - From AP Via Yahoo! News
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, arrived in Israel Wednesday on the eve of Jewish new
year to attend a conference on Kabbalah or Jewish mysticism.
Madonna 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
gave Peres a volume of 'The Book of Splendor,' the guiding
text of Kabbalah, inscribed 'To Shimon Peres, the man I admire
and love, Madonna,' the Yediot Ahronot daily reported. A Peres
aide confirmed the meeting but had no details. '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,
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,
Madonna 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.
'I can't believe that I'm celebrating the new year with you in
Israel,' Maariv newspaper quoted her as telling Peres on Saturday.
'It's a dream come true.'
