What message does it send to impressionable youth when they see Shimon Peres groping Madonna like some decrepit old perv? See kids, if you really apply yourself, you too can become a self-indulgent, hedonistic, pop star. And if you're lucky and you don't die of AIDS, you might even get felt up by Shimon Peres!
Psychology 101. Narcissistic self-indulgent celebrities often get to a point in their empty, vapid lives where they need to find some meaning. A good many benighted celebrities find religion through the tenets of liberalism, an immoral ideology of moral relativism and personal irresponsibility that requires nothing on the part of the practitioner, except screaming about "war crimes", "blood for oil", and "George Bush". Others like Tom Cruse throw their money into Scientology, a bizarre cult that promises the truth to those that are willing to buy into nonsensical dogma and a lunatic lifestyle. And then there are those like Madonna and Roseanne who find "new-age" idolatry in the form of "cabala". You can thank the notorious Berg family for that, a family of charlatans who are raking in millions teaching "cabala" to stupid celebrities. Who says there isn't money in chinuch? Madonna knows about as much cabala as I know about floral arranging.
Madonna performing in Israel epitomizes the essence of chillul Hashem. If Israel was a Torah state, she wouldn't be permitted to enter the country. Her particular brand of toevah (abomination) would surely fall under the Halachic rubric of those things that have to go, one way or another. As far as her alleged spirituality, Madonna is about as religious as any aging prostitute can become without proper soul-searching & repentance.
If she truly wants to find truth, she needs to abandon her intellectual and emotional immaturity. The search for truth is based entirely on the intellect not by buying into nonsense and superstition. Not by drinking overpriced bottles of blessed water or tying red strings around one's wrists. Madonna grew up Catholic. Now she's just trading one form of paganism for another.
