Eitan Yardeni, Madonna's first kabbala teacher, says that working in Hollywood helped him to understand the illusion - `what everyone is looking for outside that leaves them empty'

Anyone in the vicinity of Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv on a Friday night or a Saturday can see them - happy people, dressed in white, celebrating. And this month, because of Madonna's visit to Israel, the Tel Aviv branch of the Kabbalah Centre, which promotes the teachings of Rabbi Philip Shraga Berg, drew international attention. Thanks to her, there is endless discussion of the concealed dimension of the Torah, known as the kabbala. In the United States, kabbala even made it to the Jay Leno show, which featured a scene from the popular sitcom "Will and Grace," poking fun at kabbala study.
