Madonna tours Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem
Madonna has opened a visit to the Holy Land with a spiritual touch, heading to Jerusalem’s Old City late tonight where she toured an ancient tunnel near the Western Wall – the holiest site where Jews can pray.
She arrived in a black van and was escorted into the tunnel by police. She made no comment to reporters and was whisked away about a half hour later.
Madonna arrived earlier today in Israel where she will perform a pair of concerts this week – her first shows in Israel since 1993, though she came on private pilgrimages in 2004 and 2007.
According to the Associated Press
Madonna is also set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday.
