Some of the fun Madonna will be having when she and fellow Kabbalah fans go to Israel to celebrate the Jewish New Year.
Osnat Youdkevitch, the director of Tel Aviv’s Kabbalah Centre, told the Haaretz newspaper that the group would also be expected to do “kaparos”.
This is a Jewish custom in which a live chicken is swung over the head, slaughtered and given to the poor ahead of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. It is said to symbolise getting rid of the year’s sins.
