Madonna and her hubby
Guy Ritchie rang in the Jewish new year with fellow stars Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Rosie O'Donnell, designer Donna Karan and Israeli President Shimon Peres. During the Jewish new year Madonna reportedly declared herself an "ambassador for Judaism."
Madonna arrived in Israel on Wednesday, just in time to attend a conference on Kabbalah. On Saturday Madge went to Peres Jerusalem residence and the two exchanged gifts. Peres gave the Material Girl a 'lavishly bound copy of the Jewish Bible' and Madonna gave him a volume of The Book of Splendor, the guiding text of Kabbalah inscribed "To Shimon Peres, the man I admire and love, Madonna," the Yediot Ahronot daily reported.
"You don't know how popular the Book of Splendor is among Hollywood actors," Madonna told Peres, according to the Yediot.
"Everyone I meet talks to me only about that. I am an ambassador for Judaism."
