Madonna has had a two hour meeting with Israeli president Shimon Peres whilst in the country to attend a Kabbalah conference.
Her visit coincided with the Jewish New Year, and according to a spokesperson for the president, he gifted her with a copy of the Old Testament. Madonna returned the favour by offering a copy the Kabbalan text The Zohar."The president and Madonna discussed how to advance the peace process, and conciliation and tolerance throughout the world," the spokesperson said. "Madonna told the president she wants to promote those messages in her songs and books, and how important it was to educate children with those ideas."
