Madonna Lands in Israel Ahead of Tel Aviv Concerts

Pop music icon Madonna landed in Israel Sunday morning, ahead of her back-to-back concerts in Tel Aviv on Sept. 1 and 2.

Tickets are completely sold out for the first concert on September 1, but are still available for the second concert the following day.

The September 1 concert will be Madonna's second performance in Israel. She first appeared 16 years ago, and visited Israel in 2006 during the Jewish High Holidays along with 2,000 other students of Kabbalah.

Madonna to take new daughter to Western Wall -Itamar Zohar

Madonna plans to take daughter Mercy to see the Western Wall.

"The Wailing Wall is a very sacred place for anyone with links to the Jewish faith, and she wants all the children to see it," a source close to the singer [said].

Madonna, though not Jewish, is intensely interested in kabbala. Mercy was adopted from Malawi earlier this month. Madonna will also be bringing her other adopted child, David Banda.
