Pop princess Britney Spears decided to donate $36,000 to the controversial Kabbalah organization, at Madonna's advice.

It appears Madonna encouraged Britney to donate the money to the faith's children's club, Spirituality for Kids, because she is due to get birth next month and to ensure the baby will be healthy.

Madonna also advised Britney to involve her child in the Kabbalah as quickly as possible, because it will be greatly beneficial to everyone involved in the child's upbringing.

A source told The Mirror, "Britney made the charity donation last month. Madonna suggested Spirituality for Kids because she thinks it's amazing. She has told her that introducing her baby to Kabbalah will be greatly beneficial to everyone involved in the child's upbringing.

"Britney hasn't made a big deal of her gift because some of her family are suspicious of Kabbalah. But she thinks Madonna's a great role model and would never question her advice."

Britney is also preparing a Kabbalah blessing for the child, at Madonna's advice, who claims to be a Kabbalah follower for about nine years.
