"Target Drops Bracelets" September
25, 2004 Target has quit selling bracelets made popular by pop giant Madonna and other celebrities after a Jewish group said the item commercialized a sacred religious tradition. The International Society for Sephardic Progress, an advocacy group for Jews of Spanish descent, protested when Target began selling a red string bracelet it called "Kabbalah Red String." The string is believed to ward off evil. Kabbalah, considered a mystical Jewish philosophy, includes Madonna among its most visible supporters. ### |
