Is Madonna getting married?
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Israel news, Kabbalah 

Music superstar Madonna may be tying the knot in a Kabbalah ceremony, the father of the intended groom told Brazilian magazine Quem recently, New York City's Daily News reported Thursday.

"The kabbalah ceremony that will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy," Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz told Quem.

The father of the 22-year-old model added that he did not think that the ceremony would be legally binding. It would only be a symbolic ceremony signifying the union, he said.

Madonna has been an enthusiastic student of Kabbalah, a branch of Judaism, for over a decade. Luz, who was raised by devout Evangelical Christians, has reportedly joined an online community of Kabbalah worshipers.

In the interview, the elder Luz reported that Madonna and Jesus were living together at her Central Park West apartment and dispelled rumors that the singer had paid teachers to help improve the Brazilian model's English.

"I've spoken by phone with Madonna - in French, because my English is not fluent - and she appears to me to be a normal and polite person," he says. "She is feminine. I don't feel she is a harsh person," Luz told the magazine.
