FoxNews.com gossip Roger Friedman, most recently seen finger-pointing Warner Music's way for leaking negative items about exiting client Madonna, is back on his usual Madge-hating rampage. Never one for cult religions like Scientology, Friedman has a special part of his tongue-lashings that he saves for Kabbalah and its red-string wearing celebrity leader. For one: She wore a baseball cap to a bar mitzvah.
Madonna has bigger problems, I feel, than rumors about a divorce.
Top of the list might be her attending a “Bar Mitzvah” at New York’s Kabbalah Center on Friday night, and dragging along the family.
For one thing, Madonna wore a baseball cap to the “service.” There is no sanctioned Jewish service that allows the wearing of baseball caps. For years, Jewish boys have probably dreamt of being allowed to wear them, but it simply is forbidden.
For another thing, just in case we’ve forgotten, Madonna is not Jewish. Neither is The Kabbalah Center a synagogue. Just so we’re all clear on that. Kabbalah is a business run by a former insurance salesman named Shraga Feivel Gruberger. A “bar mitzvah” at the Kabbalah Center is rather like a christening in a swimming pool. Now, that’s an occasion where a baseball cap might come in handy!
Madonna Louise Ciccone was born and still is a Roman Catholic as far as anyone knows. This will be addressed, I hear, in her brother Christopher’s imminent memoir.

Actually, you'll find plenty of Orthodox Jewish women wearing ball caps as more casual head covering, especially during summer, even to synagogues. It's certainly not forbidden. But this is Roger Friedman where accuracy never got in the way of a point.
baseball caps worn in fake synagogues ARE indeed bigger issues than divorce. who the hell does madonna think she is…madonna or something?
jesus!
Hey Jossip could you please be more diligent and get fake comments off here? Like the comments by the above spammer "prettybaby ?" Thanks.
So…Friedman needs to lighten up…Madonna can wear whatever she wants. It's the Kaballah center, it's allowed. Real nice little bitchy snipe at her possible divorce though. Yeah right. Way to alienate everyone. If they have problems I hope they can work it out.
