NELC 456 - Great Books of Judaism

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Stern. The study of four paradigmatic and classic Jewish texts so as to introduce students to the literature of classic Judaism. Each text will be studied historically -- "excavated" for its sources and roots -- and holistically, as a canonical document in Jewish tradition. While each text will inevitably raise its own set of issues, we will deal throughout the semester with two basic questions: What makes a "Jewish" text And how do these texts represent different aspects of Jewish identity All readings will be in translation.
