American JewBu : Jews, Buddhists, and religious change
(Book)

Revised Ph.D. thesis at Brandeis University.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Today, many Jewish Americans are embracing a dual religious identity, practicing Buddhism while also staying connected to their Jewish roots... Sigalow explores how Jewish American Buddhists experience their dual religious identities... American JewBu highlights the leading role that American Jews have played in the popularization of meditation and mindfulness in the United States, and the profound impact that these two venerable traditions have had on one another."--Dust jacket flap.
