It's SS Madonna from Mark of San Francisco.

Madonna defends Kabbalah
International pop-icon Madonna defends her interest in Kabbalah, rejects media descriptions of it as cult. Kabbalh's not hurting anybody, Madonna says

YnetNews, Israel/November 1, 2005

In an interview to the New York Daily News, pop singer and Kabbalah devotee Madonna defended her interest in the teachings of the Kabbalah, and said she was angry people found it to be so disturbing.

"It would be less controversial if I joined the Nazi Party," Madonna said.

Madonna's increasing pursuit of Kabbalah has inspired much hostility toward her, which the singer found hard to explain.

"'What do you mean you study the Torah if you're not Jewish?'" she asked rhetorically.

"'What do you mean you pray to God and wear sexy clothes? We don't understand this.' It frightens people. So they try to denigrate it or trivialize it so that it makes more sense," Madonna said.

"I find it very strange that it's so disturbing to people," she continued. "It's not hurting anybody."
