So Abdul is still in the country somewhere, but it appears she has broken free of her Tourism Ministry handlers. She has been under the tutelage of Rabbi Chaim Mentz, who established the Chabad center of Bel Air, Los Angeles, and under his influence has raised money for Chabad and sung the praises of lighting Shabbat candles.īut the super-traditional Chabad movement and a Western Wall Bat Mitzvah? The two never really seemed to go together, never mind that this is a time of heightened tension with Women of the Wall. Supposedly, the press reported, the inspiration for her Israel trip came from her Chabad rabbi in Los Angeles. Something about the Bat Mitzvah plan hadn’t made sense to me since the first media reports of it surfaced. The postponed - and possibly cancelled - Bat Mitzvah was the shocker, since so much had been made of it. “She cancelled Masada, postponed - with her rabbi’s blessing the Bat Mitzvah at the Kotel that was supposed to be the climax of the visit - and crossed out the Dead Sea.” “At a certain point she apparently lost her patience and wanted a little break,”Lukatch intoned. Lots of activity - without much rest and relaxation or allowance for jet lag. Lukatch then noted that the ministry had packed the 51-year-old performer’s schedule with all-day back-to-back activity crisscrossing the country. The email address you have provided is already registered. The exciting initial days of the visit were recorded by hordes of photographers and camera crews - Abdul dutifully toured the Old City of Jerusalem, hitting the Israel Museum, strolling through Mahane Yehuda Market shaking hands, squeezing the oranges, feeling the love and of course, tasting the hummus, pronouncing everything she saw "fascinating" or "amazing." The media coverage of the visit was heavy, focusing on the Jewish pop star and reality show judge, child of a Russian-Canadian mother and a Syrian father, visiting Israel for the first time, to have an overdue Bat Mitzvah at the Western Wall.
