Madonna angry at rabbis' criticism

Published Friday, Oct 21 2005, 12:53 BST | By Miriam Zendle
Since her widely publicised summer horse-riding accident, Madonna has barely been out of the 'papers.

Lately, the singer has been told off by Israeli rabbis for writing a song called Isaac, which will be on her next album, Confessions On A Dancefloor.

The rabbis have claimed that the song's topic is Yitzhak Luria, a mystic from the 16th century whose name is forbidden to be used for profit.

However, Madonna denies the assertion, telling MTV News: "I don't know anything about Isaac Luria...the song is called Isaac because the man who is singing on it is named Isaac...It's just not true."

Confessions On A Dancefloor is due for release on November 14th, 2005.
