Hi Phillipa,Here's a definition of Kabbalah from the following web site:
http://www.digital-brilliance.com/kab/faq.htm#WhatisKabbalah
"Kabbalah is an aspect of Jewish mysticism. It consists of a large body of speculation on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. It consists also of meditative, devotional, mystical and magical practices which were taught only to a select few and for this reason Kabbalah is regarded as an esoteric offshoot of Judaism. Some aspects of Kabbalah have been studied and used by non-Jews for several hundred years."
Many others consider it to be a cultish movement and denigrate Madonna and her faith in it. Maybe the program you saw was about celebrity religions that are considered by the mainstream media to be trendy - not just about Scientology - and that's why she was included. Demi Moore, Britney Spears and other big celebrities consider themselves Kabbalists now.
Here's an article about Madonna and Kabbalah:
