We are launching a new series called Meru Manthan: The Churning of Ideas, where we engage with thinkers, ideas and viewpoints from all traditions and religions. This series focuses on similarities, differences, and points of contention between the Dharma traditions themselves and also in regards to other world traditions.
In this inaugural episode, I speak to Rabbi Alan Brill, Professor of Jewish Studies at Seton Hall University and the author of many books including Rabbi on the Ganges: A Jewish-Hindu Encounter. We delve into his background, a few of the Jewish traditions, how he found himself engaging with Hinduism and going to India, the points of similarity and difference between the Jewish traditions and Dharma traditions, Vedanta and Kabbalah, how the Jewish Bible and tradition differs from Christianity and Islam and a host of other topics. I learned a lot from reading Rabbi Brill’s book and even more speaking to him, which I hope you all do too. It was a fascinating and truly fun conversation.
