Security is tight for Madonna's three-day visit

Singer Madonna arrived in Israel on Wednesday for a spiritual pilgrimage to mark the Jewish New Year.

The singer and her family will join 2,000 other students of Kabbalah, a type of Jewish mysticism taught regardless of religion.

The profile of Kabbalah has been growing in the past year, largely due to Madonna's involvement.

The trip could be controversial, as her itinerary includes a tomb in Bethlehem, on Israeli-occupied Palestinian land. Thousands of police have been drafted in for the group, with details closely guarded because of security fears.

1. You know all this bad mouthing of Madonna pisses me off

She's been extremely vocal against the Bush campaign including incorpating anti-bush messages in her concert. I still think she's a talented artist and I'm proud to own many of her CDs.

:grr:

Madonna fan and still proud!
