Although it sounds like it could be a made up story, similar to the kind that keep Gossip Cop busy every day, it is one hundred percent true that earlier today, Madonna and boyfriend Jesus Luz visited the home of Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and lit the traditional Sabbath candles that Jews do on Friday evenings.

Although Madonna is not Jewish, she is a fervent adherent of Kabbalah, a branch of Jewish mysticism.

Gossip Cop hears not only did Madonna spend two hours with the Prime Minister, but she also recited the blessing over the candles in Hebrew with Netanyahu’s wife.
