Synopsis:

Following the success of his immensely popular The Jew in the Lotus, in which he chronicled the historic dialogue between rabbis and the Dalai Lama, Kamenetz struck out on an audacious spiritual quest to ultimately answer the question: How does one live in the modern world and hold onto one's Jewish faith? The result is this "spiritually intoxicating book" (Forward) that will provoke and inspire readers to dig down for the richness of their own spiritual traditions.
