Description:

Jews present all the inescapable dilemmas of man in a heightened and clarified form. They were the quintessential strangers and sojourners, the emblem of homeless and vulnerable humanity. They wanted to obey G-d's laws but they wanted to stay alive too. The societies in which the Jews lived forced life choices upon them, which were rarely straightforward options of "right and wrong." Through historical enquiry, the course reveals the complexities of some of the societies in which their choices were made and decisions takenDivision: College Division Department: History
