Some rabbis have had it:

Word that Madonna’s upcoming album includes a paean to a 16th-century Jewish mystic has prompted the rabbis who guard his legacy to accuse the pop idol of sacrilege and hint at divine punishment.

The "Confessions on a Dance Floor" collection includes a song titled "Isaac" – in reference, entertainment media say, to Rabbi Isaac Luria, founder of the Kabbalah school of mysticism which counts Madonna, 47, as one of its devotees.

The custodians of Luria’s tomb and seminary in the northern Israeli town of Tzefat (Safed) accused her of breaking a taboo.

Prohibition

"There is a prohibition in Jewish law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit," the seminary’s director, Rabbi Rafael Cohen, told an Israeli newspaper on Sunday.
