Within the Jewish community, there is much controversy surrounding the country of Israel today.

By examining a sweep of history from primary religious texts through contemporary news and opinion articles, this course aims to offer a basis of knowledge, challenging participants to examine their own attitude with regard to the relationship between the Jewish People and Israel, and how that will come to the fore in their classrooms.

Jewish Education 30207: Using Art as Midrash
3.00 Credits
Gratz College
This course will examine works of art on Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden, the story of Cain and Abel and the Binding of Isaac. Works of art based on the Biblical narrative are increasingly available on the Internet and may be used in a variety of ways: 1) to see how artists understood the Bible visually in different period; 2) to see the interaction between written and visual interpretations; 3) as a trigger for students' own artistic interpretations; 4) to see how different cultures and religions treat the same Biblical text. We will compare and contrast the artwork of Jewish, Christian and Muslim commentaries. Using skills for locating and utilizing Biblical artwork on the Internet, students will compile linked collections of artistic and written commentary. Suggested classroom uses will be discussed.

Jewish Education 30221: Educating for Character and Teaching Jewish Texts
3.00 Credits
Gratz College
In this course, we attempt to bridge the practical work of teaching Jewish texts and the challenge of fostering moral conversations among the young people we teach. Beginning with a discussion about moral education and about moral development through the life cycle, we will proceed to a discussion about how to work with several different genres of Jewish texts (Bible, rabbinic literature, historical literature, etc.). By the end of the course, students will have familiarity not only with moral theory, but also with its practical application in the realm of curriculum development and work in the classroom.
