These days it seems like non-Jews all over the place are trying to take a piece of Jewish learning or history and make it their own. The problem is that in many cases they are copying Jews who just don’t understand the Torah foundation supporting the traditions. See the “Faux Mitzvah” — a party for 13-year-old Gentile children that skips the religious ceremony part. In some cases the non-Jews are being duped, as with Hollywood’s Kabbalah fad which turns sacred texts into little more than red string bracelets and “holy water.”
There are those of the Jewish faith who will tell you that this quasi-Jewish observance is dangerous, that these trends cause horrible confusion about Judaism and Jewish values, and, worst of all, accelerate assimilation. Some even call it blasphemy.
Butt this trend toward pseudo-Judaism may actually be a good thing, and I suggest that Jews even encourage these practices … but with one quid pro quo.
If people want to pick up Jewish traditions without learning the background or observance, let them share in receiving the Desmond Tutu and Louis Farrakhan blood-libel attacks...

Madonna is a pig. Blame it all on her. LOL
That works for me.
I would call it blasphemy too. But then I think the Talmudic Judaism is also a step away from the Torah based Judaism that was practiced 2000 years ago, and on which the traditions are based.
That she is. But this Karbalah stuff was around long before her.
I can see why it's right up her alley though. She does think she is better than God, and with a bit of money for a real nice pentagram, She can find all the magic words and ascend into heaven and back at will.
If I were the more traditional Jewish Rabbi's, I'd be ensuring the word is shouted far and wide that what Maddona does is not any kind of Judaism whatsoever. It's much closer to devil worship.
I agree
LOL
Doesn’t Kabbalah have it’s roots in Babylonian sun-god false worship?
I'm sure you do. I'm also sure you don't know what you're talking about.
Nah..noy a pig, but a free range slut. An mattress back. a walking petrie dish. I know a few more, but they are not for the faint of heart.
If anyone wants more, Private message me, but be warned, they are very adult in content.
The Karaite Jews say the same thing.
So? They're a medieval sect.
