Rabbi on the Ganges: A Jewish-Hindu Encounter is the first work to engage the new terrain of Hindu-Jewish religious encounters. The book surfaces points of contact between Hinduism and Judaism. Providing an important comparative account, the work illuminates key ideas and practices within the traditions, surfacing commonalities between Hindu philosophic schools and Jewish thought and mysticism, along with creating dialogue around ritual and worship. The goal of this book is not only to unfold the content of these faith traditions but also to create a religious encounter marked by understanding and openness.--Back cover.
