Pop music star Madonna treated tens of thousands of ecstatic fans in Israel to the inaugural show of her “MDNA” world tour on Thursday, performing in a country where she has long claimed a special bond.
The “Material Girl,” a devotee of a form of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah, danced, bumped, grinded and vogued in flashy costumes to a raucous crowd at Ramat Gan stadium near Tel Aviv.

She went on to sing “Give Me All Your Luvin’” and a mash-up of the classic “Express Yourself” and Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” dressed as a marching band conductor.
