I thought she was a Jewish mystic these days...

I guess I'm referring to the Old Madonna, circa 1986.

RABBI SLAMS MADONNA'S KABBALAH OBSESSION


A respected Rabbi has spoken out about MADONNA's obsession with the
Kabbalah faith - insisting she has "lost the plot".
RABBI YITCHAK SCHOCHET of London's MILL HILL UNITED SYNAGOGUE
has derided the pop star's vocal support of the mystical offshoot of Judaism -
claiming Madonna, who was raised Roman Catholic, is "insulting" the Jewish
community with her ill-informed comment.
He fumes, "She will be insulting herself and all of the Jewish community. She
should stick with singing - what she is good at. You can only understand the
Kabbalah if you understand all of Judaism. If she thinks she can talk about
Kabbalah then she is making a fool of herself.
"If she purports to be explaining Kabbalah (with the book) then he has obviously
lost the plot.
"Kabbalah is an integral part of the Jewish faith, which is esoteric and
theocratic. You need years of study to understand it."

Madanna is studying - but is she studying Kabbalah?
No - she is studying with a charlatan named Philip Berg, a former insurance salesman who has transformed into a "Kabbalah" salesman. His teachings are a corruption of Kabbalah with a weird emphasis on reincarnation and a primary emphasis on purchasing products from Rabbi (sadly he IS a rabbi) Berg and his family.
I hope Ms. Ritchie finds a good teacher and learns the truth - I do not doubt her sincerity.

Yeah, she's one of those wannabe Kabbalah scholars that are so common these days. She'll drop it when the next fad comes along.
