Madonna Hearts Shimon
By Daniel Treiman
Madonna dropped in on Israel’s president Shimon Peres this weekend amid her latest celebrity-packed Kabbalah conclave in the holy land.Y-Net reports that she presented Peres with a copy of the “Book of Splendor” (i.e. the Zohar) with the dedication: “To Shimon Peres, the man I admire and love, Madonna.”
The Material Girl also proclaimed herself an “ambassador for Judaism” and beseeched Israel’s president: “Tell me what I should do, Mr Peres, because I am in love with Israel.”
Perhaps Peres could ask her to bottle her enthusiasm and give a little of it to young American Jews. Then again, cults and enthusiasm do tend to go hand in hand.
Jewlicious blogger and Hasidic rapper Y-Love, for one, thinks Paula Abdul would make a better ambassador.

Paula Abdul Sandwiched Between Two Rabbis
By Daniel Treiman
Here’s a cute video:
Paula Abdul in conversation with two Orthodox rabbis, both competing to sing her praises. (She lights candles on Friday nights, and goes to shul on Saturday mornings!) How sweet!
And all the while some cheesy pop music is playing in the background.
