Washington, September 5 (ANI): Madonna reportedly joined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family to celebrate the Jewish Sabbath.
The Queen of Pop, who arrived in the country for two concerts as part of her ‘Sticky & Sweet’ world tour, purportedly witnessed the traditional Friday evening ritual with the leader.
The singer was said to have spent two hours at the politician’s home, lighting candles and delivering blessings, reports Contactmusic.
Madonna apparently shares a special bond with the Jewish state as she’s a devout follower of Jewish mysticism Kabbalah.
She was previously reported to have taken on a Hebrew name, Esther, and made private pilgrimages in 2004 and 2007. (ANI)
