According to Reuters, the israeli city of Safed (also known as Tzfat) which Madonna visited last year, is now enjoying a touristic boom since the Queen of Pop paid her respects at the grave of the 16th-century rabbi revered as the founder of modern Kabbalah.
Laurie Rappeport, once of Detroit, who runs a visitor center argues, “Yes, she was here. She went to the cemetery. She herself may be very sincere. But she has turned Kabbalah into a joke, a cult.”
Tour guide Richard Woolf explains that “Kabbalah’s been hyped up, by the Madonna connection and so on. Every now and then people ask ‘Where did she go?’, It’s a curiosity, that’s all.”
