Madonna landed in Rio de Janeiro in her private jet Nov. 9, and one of the people in the airplane with her was a rabbi.
The pop icon brought along Kabbalah Centre Rabbi Michael Berg, her partner in the Raising Malawi project. Berg also will co-produce a documentary to be filmed in Rio about children and youths that overcome poverty through music and dance, according to Brazilian media.
Though the trip had an undisclosed agenda, Madonna’s visit was expected to include visiting social projects and meeting with governmental officials. — jta
