Madonna’s Israel gig

The Associated Press now reports that Madonna is to perform in Israel this summer as part of her first world tour in four years.

The America Life singer has set her eye on a remote venue called Solomon’s Pillars in the southern Arava desert, just outside the Red Sea resort of Eilat, reported Israel public radio today.
Although she herself is not Jewish, the American pop diva has contributed to the growing mainstream popularity of Jewish mysticism through her spiritual flirtations with the Kabbalah, an age-old spiritual tradition.

Madonna last visited Israel in 1993, when she held a concert in Tel Aviv.
