Israel's problems are solved!

That's what I thought when I read the headline "Madonna: I'm an 'ambassador for Judaism'". Who better to represent the Jewish state than a Catholic born superstar from the 80's who parades around the stage in her underwear? (via memeorandum)

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.

Yes the Book of Splendor is a many splendored thing, as is the rest of Kabbalah.

The Haaretz daily quoted Kutcher as telling a group of Israeli businessmen and entertainers on Saturday that Kabbalah had answered fundamental questions in his life and made him a better actor.

Will wonders never cease? The star of "Dude where's my car?" is now a better actor? I mean 4 years later he starred in the immortal "the Butterfly Effect." It's already working!

The commitment of these stars to Judaism is absolutely beyond belief. I am so glad they represent me!
