Madonna Seeks Solace In Kabbalah
Posted on Sat Jun 28, 2008 03:20 PM PDT


Is it an impending divorce driving Madonna to Kabbalah on the Sabbath? We caught Miss M leaving a Kabbalah center in NYC just a few hours ago.
Kabbalah says, as do most religions, that divorce is the last resort and that marital problems should be an opportunity for husband and wife to reflect on what they have done to the other, to cause the break down. Duh. And if divorce ensues, consider the couple's time together to have been for the purpose of bringing children into the world, if they have done so. So enlightened!
My religion and the teachings of my deity, Gossip, say, if you give birth to a child out of wedlock and then marry a man a decade your junior, and then steal a little baby away from his family in Africa to bring him to live your rich US home, then all will be forgiven, divorce or not!
I'm just kidding (kinda)!
I love the girl's music -- here's hoping she finds happiness :)

Sounding kinda snippy there X17. Aww, Madge looks sad. Was she crying? Too little, too late...I hope!
That woman gives me the creeps...disgusting the way she acts at her age. Clearly insecure about aging, but you'd imagine with her money and experience she would at least TRY to show a bit of class. Not surprised her hubby has had enough.
shes a self absorbed bitch. go home and work on your marriage not a tour......put your children and husband before your needs for once in your life..
Guy Richie is such a loser who is so afraid Madonna giving away money. He wasn't happy Madonna donated lots money to Kabalah center. He wasn't happy when Madonna adopted a kid who will share wealth with his ugly son in the future. Cheap British bastard.
He is barely working. It's all Madonna's money. She can spend it anyway she wants. It's not like she is going to financial problem. Why is Guy so protective of Madonna's money. He thinks it's his money or something.
Ewww...What is Madonna wearing? She has no fashion sense at all. Without stylist and designers to help her assemble an outfit, she can't even dress herself.
"just kidding"? it doesn't sound like a joke. i bet this woman has done more social work than the authors of this website. unlike it's practised on this website i've never heard madonna talking trash about other people in interviews.

This is totally fucking out of line. We expect the asshole Harvey Levin over at TMZ to trash people every post he makes - thinking he is the moral compass of the universe - and somehow entertaining because of it.
And now Z17 swims among the turds of cesspool tabloids with a comment like this. Burn in hell dick heads.
GUYS HAPPY TO GET AWAY FROM HER SHES TO UPTIGHT
Everything Madonna does is for Madonna herself not for anybody else. The only reason she did social work is to make her as popular as Oprah. She adopted a kid because she wanted to look good like Angelina.
Somehow people can see that so they don't really praise her social works that much. They know it's not from her heart, it's her ego tripping again "Look at me!!! I am Madonna, I adopt. You should adopt too." "Now I am going to build school just like Oprah. You better praise me."
She is so fake. I remember she even encouraged people to adopt in Mawaii, a country against foreign adoption. That's just lame and stupid.
i didn't visit this website for a while because of inappropriate comments. stalking lindsay to her aa meetings, for example, disrespects the anonymity of all people who suffer from alcoholism.
EACH time i visited x17 there was something cheesy like this one about madonna.
i'm aware it's incorrect to comment on the articles. maybe x17 profits from each single comment by getting more from advertisers.
re: me
This website, (and it's 'authors') is meant to entertain, not to indulge in a social agenda. As far as social work, every celebrity puts their name to a pet cause or they look like cheap assholes...nothing exceptional about Madonna there.
Of course she wouldn't talk 'trash' or otherwise about other people in interviews, it would take too much time away from talking about her favourite person/charity, herself.
Divorce
Level: Basic
Jewish Attitude Toward Divorce
Judaism recognized the concept of "no-fault" divorce thousands of years ago. Judaism has always accepted divorce as a fact of life, albeit an unfortunate one. Judaism generally maintains that it is better for a couple to divorce than to remain together in a state of constant bitterness and strife.
Under Jewish law, a man can divorce a woman for any reason or no reason. The Talmud specifically says that a man can divorce a woman because she spoiled his dinner or simply because he finds another woman more attractive, and the woman's consent to the divorce is not required. In fact, Jewish law requires divorce in some circumstances: when the wife commits a sexual transgression, a man must divorce her, even if he is inclined to forgive her.
This does not mean that Judaism takes divorce lightly. Many aspects of Jewish law discourage divorce. The procedural details involved in arranging a divorce are complex and exacting. Except in certain cases of misconduct by the wife, a man who divorces his wife is required to pay her substantial sums of money, as specified in the ketubah (marriage contract). In addition, Jewish law prohibits a man from remarrying his ex-wife after she has married another man. Kohanim cannot marry divorcees at all.
The Process of Obtaining a Divorce
According to the Torah, divorce is accomplished simply by writing a bill of divorce, handing it to the wife, and sending her away. To prevent husbands from divorcing their wives recklessly or without proper consideration, the rabbis created complex rules regarding the process of writing the document, delivery, and acceptance. A competent rabbinical authority should be consulted for any divorce.
The document in question is referred to in the Talmud as a sefer k'ritut (scroll of cutting off), but it is more commonly known today as a get. The get is not phrased in negative terms. The traditional text does not emphasize the breakdown of the relationship, nor does it specify the reason for the divorce; rather, it states that the woman is now free to marry another man.
It is not necessary for a husband to personally hand the get to the wife. If it is not possible or desirable for the couple to meet, a messenger may be appointed to deliver the get.
It is important to note that a civil divorce is not sufficient to dissolve a Jewish marriage. As far as Jewish law is concerned, a couple remains married until the woman receives the get. This has been a significant problem: many liberal Jews have a religiously valid marriage, yet do not obtain a religiously valid divorce. If the woman remarries after such a procedure, her second marriage is considered an adulterous one, and her children are considered mamzerim (bastards, illegitimate).
Inequality of the Sexes
The position of husband and wife with regard to divorce is not an equal one. According to the Talmud, only the husband can initiate a divorce, and the wife cannot prevent him from divorcing her. Later rabbinical authorities took steps to ease the harshness of these rules by prohibiting a man from divorcing a woman without her consent. In addition, a rabbinical court can compel a husband to divorce his wife under certain circumstances: when he is physically repulsive because of some medical condition or other characteristic, when he violates or neglects his marital obligations (food, clothing and sexual intercourse), or, according to some views, when there is sexual incompatibility.
A peculiar problem arises, however, if a man disappears or deserts his wife or is presumed dead but there is insufficient proof of death. Under Jewish law, divorce can only be initiated by the man; thus, if the husband cannot be found, he cannot be compelled to divorce the wife and she cannot marry another man. A woman in this situation is referred to as agunah (literally, anchored). The rabbis agonized over this problem, balancing the need to allow the woman to remarry with the risk of an adulterous marriage (a grave transgression that would affect the status of offspring of the marriage) if the husband reappeared. No definitive solution to this problem exists.
To prevent this problem to some extent, it is customary in many places for a man to give his wife a conditional get whenever he goes off to war, so that if he never comes home and his body is not found, his wife does not become agunah.
A little education on A subject could stop you from looking so ignant.
Fuck, this is NOT ABOUT JEWISH LAW or custom, or divorce, or any of that shit. It's about a fucking Paperazi agency with a website trashing people like Madonna, Britney, Lindsay, whoever. X17 haw usually been decent about shit like that, but not recently.
you people all need to get a life instead of talking about someone who don't even know, I feel sorry for anyone that just believes whatever the press feeds them ,so many people are so interested in other people's lives , mind your own business and grow up , you all so so pathetic
Madonna is trash ergo deserves to be trashed, she has practically pioneered promiscuity and in the process done harm to children from different cultures especially girls.
K, and now I am not coming back to this site ever again. I had started to think this site was run and written by losers; now you have confirmed it for me.
.
Cuz quite frankly, I was already tired of you having nothing to post bar from stalking footage, the Malibu beat down that you tried to cash in on, and now you've just written one too many pathetic posts. Pictures aren't worth looking at, posts aren't worth reading, and now I'm the f*ck outta here.
pass the popcorn, will her meltdown top mariah's, the vadge is competitive.
Everyone saying they'll never come here again will be here on two hours again. Please. Who gives a shit what this site says and what is going on with Madonna? She's self absorbed, pretentious, and thinks she's the shit. It's nice to see her husband knows she isn't. Marriages break up all the time. Who cares what X17 says? Do you people really read their ramblings? They never make sense and seem to be written by an uneducated chimp.In this case, it's a chimp writing about a ho. No harm done.
The man behind her is her manager Guy Oseary.
Can't Madonna just fade into oblivion?
Kabbalah must translate to "Madonna" because we know the only thing Madge worships is herself.
Well first, Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie = catholic.
Second, I find it so funny watching celebrities like Madonna, a woman who has made a career out of being a total slut, conveniently claim to be "spirtual" at an age when it has become convenient. You don't just pretend your religous .. and if you ain't ain't. But she could give the truth the last rites and stop the charade because it's sickening.
strange looking latly ....... Arms are overly worked out
This X17 site is for MORONS. Totally PATHETIC.
PEOPLE: Get a LIFE!
Blah, blah, blah, Mondona will always do what she wants to! She doesn't care about "anyone" else!
Sounding provincial in a 50's kinda way.
A baby out of wedlock? Judgemental, much?
With a man 10 years her junior...sexist, much?
Steal a baby from his family? The baby was lanquishing in an orphanage. Ill informed, much?
Geesh.
MADONNA IS A STRONG WOMAN. HOWEVER I FEEL SHES IN HER OWN PRISON IN A WAY. SHES ALMOST TOO STRONG. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH HER TO GET THROUGH THIS AWFUL TIME IN HER AND HER FAMILYS LIVES.
Hopefully they are working things out for the sake of the children.
She made being promiscuous trendy and now it bites her in the ass.
scumbag skank whore. stuck with the welfare baby now. no way the husband wants him.fuck you. stay in london.
