Description of American JewBu
Review 'In this compelling and insightful book, Sigalow offers a window into the varied ways that Jews in the United States have been engaged in religious, spiritual, and secularized paths toward creating a Jewish Buddhist sense of self.'--Janet Jacobs, author of The Holocaust across Generations: Trauma and Its Inheritance among Descendants of Survivors'This excellent book is essential reading on the development of American Buddhism and a fascinating exploration of why Buddhism is so popular among American Jews.'--Erik Braun, author of The Birth of Insight: Meditation, Modern Buddhism, and the Burmese Monk Ledi Sayadaw 'American JewBu deals with a phenomenon widely known but never before systematically studied. Drawing on history and sociology, it traces the Jewish-Buddhist encounter from its nineteenth-century origins to the present, shedding immense new light on why Jews turned to Buddhism, how the encounter reconfigured both faiths, and what JewBu syncretism teaches us about American religion as a whole. A model study by a scholar of immense promise.'--Jonathan D. Sarna, author of American Judaism: A History'Emily Sigalow offers a detailed historical and contemporary account of JewBus, often commented on but rarely studied. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the multiple ways Jews influenced the development of Buddhism in America. I strongly recommend it.'--Wendy Cadge, Brandeis University'Sigalow combines ethnographic research with thoughtful historical and cultural analysis to produce a convincing portrait of Jewish Buddhists in America. She skillfully surpasses simplistic explanations of the JewBu phenomenon to provide the richest historical and social account to date. American JewBu not only convincingly explores how and why so many Jews have taken up Buddhism, it demonstrates the crucial role Jews have played in shaping what Buddhism has become in the West.'--David L.
