It's' Everywhere

From my pleasure reading (THe Jew in the Lotus, Rodger Kamenetz, p.140)

"For example, the philosophy of Maimonides is extremely similar to Buddhist philosophy."

It really is everywhere. Maybe I was right, back in high school, that I really needed to play with Medieval Jewish texts, etc.

Possibly so. Basically, I'm particularly interested in the evolution of Jewish ritual, especially Jewish women's ritual (right now, at least)- so I think I could work with a fairly large historical background... So really, I do have an excuse to play with medieval Jewish texts if they address women and/or ritual life... Shouldn't be too hard, no?
