Description:

D. Levy The holidays and celebrations of the Jewish yearly calendar present a window into the texts, history and contemporary life of the Jew. This course uses a focus on Jewish holidays to explore central Jewish laws, stories, traditions, and important concepts such as monotheism, choseness, the land of Israel, and the Temple. The course presents major Jewish texts such as the Bible, Talmud, Midrash, and contemporary scholarship on the Jewish holidays. In exploring canonical texts and contemporary scholarship students begin to develop a broader sense of "Living Judaism."
