... This is what made me so fascinated and yet so distraught when I learned about Jewish Buddhists. How is it at all possible to consider oneself both Jewish and Buddhist? It seems extremely contradictory, coming from a Jewish standpoint. ... Coming from a strictly Jewish perspective, however, there are many problems involved in considering oneself Jewish and Buddhist.
Jewish Buddhists, or JUBUs, as they are sometimes referred to as, have many strong feelings towards Buddhism, but, sometimes a lack of feelings towards Judaism. ... Another similarity that the video points out is that
Buddhists say to live in peace and throw away hatred, while Jews live along those same terms with love thy neighbor as thy self. Also, the Jewish idea of Tikun Olam, fixing the world, is a prominent idea in both religions. ...

Some still follow the Sabbath, holidays, and some Jewish ideas, but they have embraced Buddhist ways of thinking and meditation.
