"Marjorie Ingall is such a winning writer that as you tear through her laugh-out-loud, warm-hearted book, you might not notice the deep wisdom it delivers - not just on how to raise a mensch, but how to be one."  -Gayle Forman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay.

Becoming "Buddha's Jews," Tuesday, November 15, 7:30 pm

TBC member Karen S. Hwang-Gold will present this cross-cultural program about Jewish Buddhists, a growing number of Jewish individuals who follow Buddhism as a primary spriritual path. Her talk will include stunning images from an early 6th-century cave along the Silk Road as a way to illustrate some of the key tenets of Buddhism, especially the aspects of the religion that the Jewish followers frequently identify as its main appeal. 

Karen received her Ph.D. in History of Art and Architecture from Harvard University where she focused on Buddhist art of 8th-10th century East Asia. She has taught at Wellesley College and at Vassar College.  More information ...
