American pop icon Madonna sparked a media frenzy when the Kabbalah follower toured around the Western Wall, Judaism`s top pilgrimage site in the Old City of Jerusalem.Wearing high heels, blue jeans and a black jacket, the Material Girl was accompanied by her Brazilian model friend Jesus Luz and several bodyguards when she visited the area late yesterday.
Dozens of onlookers tried to get a glimpse of the music diva while a crowd of photographers snapped away as the 51-year-old ducked into one of the tunnels near the wall.
Madonna landed in Israel yesterday aboard a private jet and is due to give two concerts in Tel Aviv as part of her Sticky and Sweet tour.
During her visit, the singer will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, his office said, as well as opposition leader Tzipi Livni.
A fervent practitioner of Kabbalah, Madonna is also due to attend a symposium on the study of Jewish mystic discipline
along with fellow Kabbalists, US actress Demi Moore and her
husband and fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, local Israeli media
said.
In an article published in Israel`s largest circulation newspaper on July 31, the star recounted the long spiritual
search that led her to Kabbalah, the mystic Jewish religion
that has become popular in recent years in part because celebrities like her have begun practising it.
