Madonna named a top Jew

Madonna has been voted one of the world's top followers of the Jewish faith- even though she was brought up as a Catholic.
The pop superstar, who is now a devout follower of the Kabbalah, a mysticalderivative of the Jewish faith, was voted No.51 by America's Jewish magazineThe Forward, because of her obvious devotion to the religion.

The magazine said: "This year's Forward 50 actually includes 51 entries but the extra one should be seen as more of a cherry-on-top than an afterthought.

"Madonna, who does not consider herself Jewish, has earned her place as oneof the 50 most influential people practising some form of Judaism today."

The magazine claimed, after being introduced to the Kabbalah, Madonna produced some of her best music ever, and experts believe the religion washer main help.

It added: "Madonna was introduced to Jewish mysticism via the controversial Kabbalah Center founded by Rabbi Berg.

"In a burst of creativity following the birth of her daughter, she produced what many critics believe to be her best album - 'Ray of Light' - which takes its title from the Kabbalistic theory about the origins of the world.

"With Kabbalah, Madonna seems to have settled finally into herself - and theworld."
