Rarely seen without her funny red wristband she may be, but Madonna has angered an Israeli seminary director and custodian of the tomb of Rabbi Isaac Luria, the founder of Kabbalah no less.

Madonna is a keen advocate of the faith, but her track 'Isaac', on new record Confessions On A Dancefloor, has drawn criticism from Rabbi Rafael Cohen, the aforementioned custodian, who was quoted in Israeli newspaper Maariy:

"There is a prohibition in Jewish law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit. This is an inappropriate act, and one can feel only pity at the punishment that she will receive from Heaven.

"The Sage Isaac is holy and pure, and immodest people cannot sing about him."

Told, Madge, told.

"There is a prohibition in Jewish law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit"

Quite ironic seeing as Kabbalah seems to exploit everything else possible for further profit...

Meatballs put in a pitta with tahini, salad and if lucky chips.

It's not meat, FOOL.
It's crushed up stuff and garlic and stuff.

Re: Madonna's faith slips on the ...Dancefloor

There's a type of meat in them isn't there? I've been lied to otherwise.

Maybe she was singing about another Isaac. Maybe it's about everyone's favourite apple-nutting physicist. Or the soul-daddy-turned-animated-caterer. Or...no, I'm all out of Isaacs for now. But how arrogant of the Rabbi to assume that it was about his precious sage! It could be about the guitarist from Hanson - there's another one.

I just had a vision of Madge's prolapsed womb slipping out on to the dancefloor. I don't know why.
