My interest in Jewish Philosophy has been steadily growing for the past 4 or so years. I was raised jewish - going to the synagogue for high holidays, keeping kosher, bat mitzvah. I have practiced quite a bit with buddhism, particularly Vipassana. I have just come back from ten months in India where i was living and working at a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery. I just finished reading the Jew in the Lotus and am currently reading Minyan by Rabbi Rami Shapiro. I guess I joined this tribe looking for ideas and practices that challenge me from within a jewish context....words that resonate and universal principles with a jewish flavour...checking out the roots and nourishing them so that the tree can continue to grow strong... peace naomi Tue, 17 Jan 2006 18:23:02 GMT http://jewbu.tribe.net/thread/2d4c7c08-13bb-418a-9928-b754a13b3ee3#dfda1927-e84c-409c-b764-c31b3abbdd6d naomi-eliana 2006-01-17T18:23:02Z
