Madonna, the sequel: It wouldn't be a week without a Madonna mention. And this week is no different. The pop icon-turned-mystic has released her second of five children's books this week. This one, entitled Mr. Peabody's Apples, is also taken from a Kabalistic lesson from Chassidic master the Baal Shem Tov (1698–1760) taught to Madonna by one of her rabbis. However, some news reports stated that the book was based on the 300-year-old myth of Baad Shem Tov, which led several religious experts to ask the inevitable question: "Could this be a typo? Or did the Baal Shem Tov have an evil twin?"
