Money quote:
"...earlier this year the chief rabbi's office [Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi (orthodox) of the British Empire) issued a statement distancing it from mainstream Judaism. A member of Rabbi Sacks's cabinet said that there was "a great deal of unease about Kabbalah's methods and the pressure brought to bear on those they view as being vulnerable and as possible sources of income."Meanwhile Madonna blissfully chirps, "One thing that Kabbalah teaches you is that your true potential has nothing to do with selling records or making money or being popular, it has to do with what you are doing to help. Just what are you doing to make the world a better place?"
Ok, show of hands people: Regardless of your religion, who learned this "lesson" in pre-school? I did. Didn't you? Could this be why you and I aren't glamerous music stars?
