Jews and Gurus      “Jews are such spiritual people,” said the swami. “My best disciples are Jews.”      With pride and pain, we see Jews becoming Zen masters, yogis, and Buddhist nuns. What is it about these exotic gurus that attract so many of our best and brightest young Jews? How long has this been going on? What is a cult? What can we do about this spiritual brain drain? Hear a challenging analysis from a committed Jew who teaches about Buddhism and Judaism in the university.
