This "touching and funny" book by a Jewish Buddhist "giv[es] a sense of the richness that comes with opening to more than one way of spiritual observance"(San Francisco Chronicle).
"How can you be a Buddhist and a Jew?" It's a question Sylvia Boorstein, author of It's Easier Than You Think, has heard many times. Can an authentic Jewish faith be wedded with Buddhist meditation practice? In this landmark national bestseller, the esteemed Buddhist teacher addresses the subject in a warm, delightful, and personal way. With the same down-to-earth charm and wit that have endeared her to her many students and readers, Boorstein shows how one can be both an observant Jew and a passionately committed Buddhist.
"An incisive exploration of the process of religious participation—one that will be widely read and intensely important to many people." —Elaine Pagels, New York Times-bestselling author of The Gnostic Gospels
"A beautiful book for Jews and Buddhists alike—warm, honest, heartfelt." —Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart
Includes a foreword by Stephen Mitchell
