HBRJD-UA 189: The War of 1948
4.00 Credits
New York University
The 1948 first Arab-Israeli war still provokes multidimensional debates, in both academic and Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies public circles. In the Palestinian and Arab collective memory, the war is engraved as the Nakba-the catastrophe-while Israel celebrates it as its day of independence. For both, it is the formative event of their history. In recent decades, Israel's "New Historians," alongside other researchers, contributed to changes in the way historians, and even the Israeli public, see their past. In this course, we attempt to provide students with basic knowledge and analytical tools to understand what "really happened," beyond narratives and memories.

HBRJD-UA 23: The Bible as Literature
4.00 Credits
New York University
Over the past few decades, many readers have come to a fuller appreciation of the emotional and imaginative power of the Bible's narratives, which still speak with remarkable clarity to our own sensibilities, leading one critic to characterize the Bible as a "full-fledged kindred spirit" of modernism. The course pursues this "kindred spirit," using a broadly literary approach as its guide. While the focus is on narrative-the Pentateuch (Genesis to Deuteronomy) and the Former Prophets (Joshua to Kings), as well as shorter narrative books (Ruth, Jonah, and Esther)-it also studies Ecclesiastes and Job as ancient precursors to modern skepticism. Finally, it studies one modernist engagement with the Bible: Kafka's Amerika.

HBRJD-UA 36: Food and Identity in the Middle East and Its Jewish Communities
4.00 Credits
New York University
Studies the Middle East and its Jewish communities through an examination of culinary history and foodways. Particular attention is paid to food as a marker of class, ethnic, and religious identity. After a brief theoretical introduction to foodways literature, we examine cookery and culinary representation in the classical Islamic period as background for the modern era. Colonialism and a transition in the economic position of the Middle East transformed both the culinary preferences of the region's inhabitants and relations between indigenous Jews and other religious communities. By the mid-20th century, most Middle Eastern Jews had immigrated to Europe, the United States, or Israel, further impacting their foodways. In the later period, we focus on food and memory; food and Sephardic identity formation; Israeli and Palestinian national cuisines; globalization and Middle Eastern food; and food copyrighting.
