Hinduism has become a vital 'other' for Judaism over the past decades. The book surveys the history of the relationship from historical to contemporary times, from travellers to religious leadership. It explores the potential enrichment for Jewish theology and spirituality, as well as the challenges for Jewish identity.

This book by Alon Goshen-Gottstein is a wonderful contribution, as it comes at the right time when awareness about pluralism and its effects is continuing to increase, especially in the Western context. I feature this book because I found it enlightening. (Lefrandy Praditya, Current Dialogue, Vol. 74 (5), December, 2022)

'Alon Goshen-Gottstein is an important, world class pioneer in developing Judaism's approach to other religions. In this book, he gives us deeper insight into Hinduism and Judaism. This book will help enable readers to connect to and learn from one of the oldest religions in human history. Such understanding is essential to the credibility and standing of Judaism as a world religion.'- Irving Greenberg
