With but a few short moments remaining in the program he said, "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, Adonai Tz'vaot" which translates to "Holy, Holy, Holy, The Lord of Hosts" and is part of a biblical verse found in the "Kedusha" or "Holiness" section of the Amidah, the central prayer in Jewish liturgy.

Never before has our prayerbook been recited at the Grammy's.

But, Carlos Santana, a Rabbi?

He DID bring Hebrew into millions of living rooms--not a small feat.

And, on the cover of his album "Milagro", he stands at the Kotel, or the Wailing Wall, in Jerusalem. He wears a kipah and bows his head in meditation.

Yet, Santana does not appear to embrace Judaism or any other religion.

Go.com reported he was born and raised a Catholic and at the age of 10 was abused for two years by an American man who dressed like a Cowboy and bought him gifts: "...the guilt resulting from the abuse, combined with his Catholic upbringing, made him angry throughout his adult life."

Watching the Grammy's, a viewer might have assumed that Satana turned to Judaism to satiate his anger. Yet, in an interview with freelance writer Lilliam Rivera for nyrock.com Santana said he is not currently religious:

"No, religion is a corrupt business. Spirituality is something else. Religion is like Coca-Cola, Pepsi cola, wine. That's not going to help in the desert. Religion is a corrupt institution and we don't trust those. Spirituality is you bringing one to one with la virgin and God. It's all one. No, I don't want to be religious because a lot of people have been killed in the name of religion because they get a superiority complex. Spirituality is all like water . . . All the colors are there, but it's still water. I know the difference between spirituality and religious and I don't want to be religious."

Religious or not, for one televised moment in time, Santana spoke our language.

And, with Jewish culture sneaking its way into pop and music culture (The Material Girl studies Kabbalah, after all) maybe we would be wise to brush up on our Hebrew before the Tony's.
