Actually, Kabbalah is an aspect of Jewish mysticism. It consists of a large body of speculation on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. It consists also of meditative, devotional, mystical and magical practices which were taught only to a select few and for this reason Kabbalah is regarded as an esoteric offshoot of Judaism. Some aspects of Kabbalah have been studied and used by non-Jews for several hundred years. Actually, I think this area of study is a little too deep for people like Madonna and Britney, whose souls, up until now, have been primarily preoccupied with having sex and picking out "really cool outfits."

I realize Kabbalah is a serious body of work. My only point is that Madonna must be enthralled with the Cliff's Notes.
