Madonna defends Kabbalah

"It would be less controversial if I joined the Nazi Party," she said.

The pop queen admitted she found it strange that her religion disturbed so many people, but put it down to a lack of understanding.

"It`s not hurting anybody," she said. "`What do you mean you study the Torah if you`re not Jewish?"

I find Madonna much more credible now than Tom Cruise.

Isn't Kaballah a form of Judaism? For some reason, some of the stars have gravitated to it. Call it "Jewish lite"???

I don't see anything wrong with studying the Torah or Old Testament. Gentiles can convert to Judaism if they want to, after going through alot of studying, classes and confirmations.

I have studied books about Jewish people and the Jewish religion, and I find it to be very sensible and faithful and spiritual in many ways, just as Christianity can be.

My son plans to travel to Israel next year, as his father is Jewish. He is very interested in finding out all about it and his heritage.

I don't see any problem with learning any religion, as long as you are true to it. I chose Chrisitianity, myself.
