Madonna mourns destruction of Temples with racy Instagram post
Kaballah enthusiast Madonna joins Jews across the world mourning the destruction of the two Temples in Jerusalem with an Instagram post marking Tisha B’av.
“9th of Av. This is a Day to stay inside. lay low. Keep Quiet,” the Material Girl posted alongside a photo of herself apparently in bed wearing little but a brassiere.

Tisha B’Av commemorates the destruction of both temples in Jerusalem, as well as several other disasters in Jewish history.
The day is traditionally marked by fasting, refraining from celebrations, and public readings of the Book of Lamentations, believed by Jews to be the biblical prophet Jeremiah’s account of the destruction of the First Temple by invading Babylonians in 586 BCE.
