  • HEBR 153: Intermediate Biblical Hebrew I

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Carasik. Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of HEBR 152 or permission of the instructor. This course is the prerequisite for HEBR 154 (no one is "permitted" into that semester; you must take the previous semester course). This course will focus on using the grammar and vocabulary learned at the introductory level to enable students to read Biblical texts independently and take advanced Bible exegesis courses. We will also work on getting comfortable with the standard dictionaries, concordances, and grammars used by scholars of the Bible. We will concentrate on prose this semester, closely reading Ruth, Jonah, and other prose selections. We will begin to translate from English into Biblical Hebrew, and there will also be a unit on the punctuation marks used in the Bible. This is a suitable entry point for students who already have strong Hebrew skills.

  • HEBR 259: Introduction to Modern Hebrew Literature

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Arts & Letters Sector. All Classes. Gold. Prerequisite(s): HEBR 059 or equivalent. The content of this course changes from year to year; and, therefore, students may take it for credit more than once. Songs played a leading role in the process of creating the Zionist-Jewish-Israeli nathional identity. The emergence of the State of Israel, like that of the Modern Zionist movement before it, was accompanied by literary texts, many of which were put to music. (For example: Hatikva, the Israeli anthem, was orginally a Zionist poem; Gouri's poem Bab El- Wad became a secular "Prayer" sung at Israeli war memorials.) As the country evolved, so did its music, but poetry continued to be transformed into Hebrew songs. Considering the historical and political background, this course will observe the evolution of the country and the genre and show how Hebrew songs have determined and reflected the creation and development of the nation for the past hundred years. It will analyze the songs' ideological and psychological roles by exaning the lyrics and the relationship between word and melody. Works discussed will span from classics like Bialik, Alterman and Amichai to Hanoch and Idan Reichel. The content of this course changes from year to year, thus students may take it for credit more than once.
