Kabbalah inspired track on Madonna's new album
Sep 26, 2005, 10:53 GMT
Madonna has reportedly written a new song inspired by the Kabbalah.
Insiders claim the pop queen, who is a devout follower of the mystic Jewish faith, has penned a track called 'Isaac', as a tribute to the 16th century cleric who founded the religion.
The new song is set to appear on Madonna's forthcoming album, 'Confessions On A Dancefloor', which is released on November 14.
Earlier this year, it was revealed Madonna is opening a Kabbalah hotel.
The star is said to have bought a five-storey £1.6million London house, which she will use as a hotel and drop-in centre for fellow followers of the faith.
Madonna, who has been a Kabbalah devotee for over 10 years, signed the deeds on the swanky West End property - which is just seconds from the home she shares with husband Guy Ritchie - at the end of May.
Madonna has also praised her Kabbalah faith for helping her marriage to Guy remain strong.
The sexy singer insists the religion has improved their relationship considerably by allowing her to accept the British film director - even when he "irks' her.
She said: "I can disagree with him but I don't love him any less."

You have made some mistakes in your article. The '16th century cleric who founded the religion' is Rabbi Yitzchak (Isaac) Luria. He in fact did not found a 'religion' - he was Jewish. He merely explained the in-depth teachings of the Kabbalah. Madonna and all of her followers have turned this sacred Jewish teaching into a cult and disgraced the name of G-d. This profound book of knowledge was not intended to be learned by such people of a low holiness. It is disgusting and pitiful to all Jews, as she has taken a holy book and turned into a cult.

Well, Madonna is a consummate artist and, above all, a dancer and performer. However, why should she be so wrapped up in the Kabbalah? Her true religion and only religion should be her art. She would do much better to share it with the world, instead of hording her 'knowledge' in some mystical cult and becoming more and more detached from the world as it exists and-more importantly- the fans which are expected to consume the product. How can she produce a product of art without being connected to the consumers of that art? In my opinion, her album and art will fail to reach anybody, since she has failed to be part of the world as it exists because of her esoteric religion... and ultimately, her sales (and her message through her art) will be inconsiderable.
