Book Club with Reb Moshe: The Jew in the Lotus (online)

November 10, 2024    
6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

For TBZ members only.  Join Reb Moshe to discuss his experience in writing The Jew in the Lotus:

While accompanying eight high–spirited Jewish delegates to Dharamsala, India, for a historic Buddhist–Jewish dialogue with the Dalai Lama, poet Rodger Kamenetz comes to understand the convergence of Buddhist and Jewish thought. Along the way he encounters Ram Dass and Richard Gere, and dialogues with leading rabbis and Jewish thinkers, including Zalman Schacter, Yitz and Blu Greenberg, and a host of religious and disaffected Jews and Jewish Buddhists.

The TBZ Book Club provides a setting in which TBZ members come together to discuss fiction and non-fiction books with Jewish themes. Monthly meetings on Sunday evenings at TBZ feature lively discussions of books by or about Jewish people, alternating fiction and non-fiction selections. You may find yourself reading books you never knew about or thought to read and meeting other book lovers! Please join us at any time during the year by contacting the Coordinator at tbzbookclub@tbzbrookline.org
