Material Girl to perform in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Madonna will play in Tel Aviv on Sept, 1 on the last of her "Sticky and Sweet" world tour. The top star's Web site quotes her as saying she's "very excited about returning to Israel for my last and final show."

Madonna isn't Jewish, but she has adopted the Hebrew name of Esther and is student of Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism.

She made a private pilgrimage to Israel in 2004 to visite grave sites of Jewish sages. This will be her second gig in Israel. She last performed in the country in 1993.
