“There is a prohibition in Jewish law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit..This is an inappropriate act, and one can feel only pity at the punishment that she (Madonna) will receive from Heaven. The Sage Isaac is holy and pure, and immodest people cannot sing about him.”
– Rabbi Rafael Cohen, director of Rabbi Luria’s seminary, speaking about Madonna, whose song Isaac is said to refer to Rabbi Isaac Luria (renowned as the greatest kabbalist of modern times)
