Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday that the pop star was planning to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah at the Western Wall during her visit, nearly four decades after the traditional age of 12.

During her first visit to the country, the Grammy and Emmy winner is scheduled to meet with Tourism Minister Uzi Landau to discuss the many facets of Israeli culture in which she takes an interest—the modern, effervescent, innovative Israel alongside the multicultural historic land.
