(Gigwise) Madonna has been warned that she faces divine retribution after she is rumoured to have included a paean to a 16th century Jewish mystic on her next album.
Director of the seminary, Rabbi Rafael Cohen told Israeli newspaper Maariy: There is a prohibition in Jewish law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit."
He added: This is an inappropriate act, and one can feel only pity at the punishment that she (Madonna) will receive from Heaven. The Sage Isaac is holy and pure, and immodest people cannot sing about him."[see full story for more]

I think this is silly. Madonna is a great artist and I am sure she is paying respect to something she cares about. Madonna has always been expressive with her music and relates it to her own personal life. If that is a sin then we all will burn. The comments above from these Rabbi's are un-Christ like regardless. I seriously doubt he would approve since he taught love and compassion not hate and judgementality.
