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. |

Parables, very brief stories that illustrate ethical or theological lessons, are among the most distinctive contributions of Judaism and Christianity to world literature. These mysterious tales are characterized by the tension between their superficial simplicity and the depth and complexity of their meanings, making parables into dynamic sites for thinking through the relations between truth, signification, meaning, power, and the self in both religious and secular contexts. Together, we'll hone our skills as interpreters of parables as we trace their development: from their biblical origins, through their transformation by medieval Jewish and Christian traditions, and onward into modern literature and philosophy by authors writing in English, Hebrew, German, French, and Danish. All texts will be read in translation. |

Through a survey of arts, architecture, material remains, and written accounts, this course traces the complex past of a region regarded as Holy Land by people of several major religions. We will evaluate incongruities between written texts and physical evidence; the contentious political and religious agendas that affected studies of these lands; and evidence for the ancient societies, cultures, economies, religions, and politics that contributed to shaping the modern Middle East. |
