It represents the first serious attempt by a group of eminent scholars of Judaic and Indian studies to take seriously the cross-cultural resonances among the Judaic and Hindu traditions.The essays in the first part of the volume explore the historical connections and influences between the two traditions, including evidence of borrowed elements and the adaptation of Jewish Indian communities to Hindu culture. The essays in the second part focus primarily on resonances between particular conceptual complexes and practices in the two traditions, including comparative analyses of representations of Veda and Torah, legal formulations of dharma and halakhah, and conceptions of union with the Divine in Hindu Tantra and Kabbalah. 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xHinduism 606 $aHinduism$xRelations$xJudaism 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xHinduism. 615 0$aHinduism$xRelations$xJudaism. 676 $a296.3/872 701 $aGoodman$b Hananya$f1953-$01817100 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974876803321 996 $aBetween Jerusalem and Benares$94374539 997 $aUNINA
