The Jew in the Lotus – 30th Anniversary Retrospective by Zoom

See Event Details
Please join us on October 24, 2020, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Jewish encounter with the Dalai Lama recorded in The Jew in the Lotus.
Because of this book, thousands of Jews who are drawn to Buddhism have discovered that their Jewish identities are deeply enriched by the coherence and congruity between Jewish and Buddhist teachings and practices.
