Sociology 30706: Rhythms of Jewish Life:The Calendar and Life Cycle Events
3.00 Credits
Gratz College
In his classic work, The Sabbath, the late Prof Abraham Joshua Heschel asserted that time, rather than geographic space, is the special métierof the Jewish People. No matter the region or the regime, Jews have been able to fashion sacred worlds of meaning and community by marking the seasons of the year and the seasons of the individual's life. In this class we will explore the historic background of the Jewish calendar and its observances as well as the rites that comprise the Jewish lifecycle. Not only will we examine the traditional realms of meaning and rituals associated with these occasions, but we shall also explore the strains and transformational possibilities created by the realities of contemporary Jewish life.

Sociology 30998A: The Struggle for Israeli Identity
3.00 Credits
Gratz College
Contemporary Israeli society is engaged in a fascinating - if painful - search for its own identity. Gone are the days, when Israeli identity was epitomized by images of the kibbutz and the pioneer sabra. Instead, a rich variety of diverse and often conflicting identities have emerged, representing a kaleidoscope of social and cultural enclaves. The object of this course is to explore, discuss and analyze these dramatic changes. The reciprocal relationship between these changes and the political, social and cultural transformations that Israel experienced during this period will also be examined and studied in depth. A broad array of genres and modes of expression - not only academic historical writings, but also literature and art - will be incorporated into our discussion.
