REL 229 - Jewish Traditions

1 course unit
Judaism has ancient roots and encompasses a multifaceted array of rituals, laws, holidays, and life-cycle events.  Using “Time” and “Space” as the dual focal points of our course, we will examine the development of diverse Jewish communities from antiquity to the modern era in order to better understand the origins and practices of the spectrum of Jewish groups encountered today.  Consequently, this course will emphasize the heterogeneity of Judaism as a religious system throughout history, while also examining what makes this diverse group of traditions and texts “Jewish.”
Meets general academic requirement HU.
