JS 1256 - Modern Israel

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

Jewish Studies

Description:

The idea of a Jewish-initiated return to the ancient biblical homeland in the last quarter of the 19th century marked a significant break with traditional Jewish thinking on the theme of Return and Redemption. The subsequent migration to Palestine and the building of institutional Jewish life there culminating in the independent state of Israel (1948) has not only been a watershed in modern Jewish history, it has also had a major impact on Judaism and global affairs. In this course, we trace the history of modern Israel from the idea of the return through the State of Israel today.
