Course Description:
A historical and conceptual survey of some of the major texts, traditions, movements, ideas, and practices associated with Judaism from antiquity to the present. Special attention will be paid to the changing social categories through which Judaism and Jewishness have been understood, by Jews and others, in various historical and geographic contexts, including, e.g., "religion," "nation," "ethnicity," "race," and "culture." Students who take this course will be prepared for further coursework in Jewish Studies and coursework on Judaism in Religious Studies. No prior knowledge of Jewish religion, culture, history, or languages is assumed. |
