It's' Everywhere

[debka_notion]

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.

Did you see the movie? It played here last year-ish...

I did indeed. And I read the book a number of years earlier- but I hadn't noticed this particular sentence before, since it wasn't concurrent with my intro Hebrew High school class on Medieval Jewish Philosophy. But now- Maimonides is jumping out at me from everything, it seems- Liturgy readings, this book, Studying Sacred Texts class and reading...

What did you think of the movie?

I don't really remember, honestly. I do remember being quite miffed at the rabbi who made jokes about KY Jelly in his lecture afterwards.

He did? I didn't even notice such jokes. Or if I did, they must have sort of bounced off without much attention. What sort of jokes could he possibly have made?
