Because Jews have been subjected to thousands of years of pain and slavery that carries over into their present life. That's why so many of them are depressed.
They think becoming spiritual will set them free.

Many Jews become secular. I don't know any who have converted to Buddhism.

Honestly, the real question is why not.
First of all, Buddhism is not a religion. It has no gods or governing institutions (that which defines a creed to be a "religion"). It's mostly a way of dealing with yourself and your spirituality in a certain mindset. It's a pagan creed, which involves a certain attitude towards life and things in general - and which is turning too popular. That's why I cracked the 'business niche' joke.
I think most people are adhering to it, like they adhere to the latest pop tune. Because it looks cool and alternative.
But this in fact lessens Buddhism.
The only truth here is that most people don't know where to turn.
- pretty sure my question was different :)WeLoveNoise

Well that's a real question, but you have the Scots too for the most of our inventions.
Maybe it has to do with goats?
