Description:

This course discusses the history and culture of Orthodox Jewry as it developed in Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Beginning with an exploration of the origins of the concept of an "Orthodox" ideology, we will follow its emergence as a major force in the political and social fabric of central Europe over the 19th and 20th centuries. We will then observe and analyze the postwar fate of Orthodox societies up to present day and the impact on Jewish politics and sociology in Israel and the United States.Division: College Division Department: History
