Kaballah enthusiast Madonna joined Jews across the world mourning the destruction of the two temples in Jerusalem with a Tuesday 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 for her 9.8 million followers to see.

Tisha B’Av commemorates the destruction of both ancient Jewish 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.
