JST 201, 202 - American Jewish Life & Culture

Course unit(s): 1
Meets GAR: Meets general academic requirement HU (and is a linked IL when offered as 202).
This course will offer a history of Jewish life in the United States.  It will examine the different ways that American Jews have defined Jewish life in America and consider the challenges faced by Jewish immigrants as they worked to build a distinctly American Jewish culture.  The tension and balance between religious meaning and the value placed on secularism in America form a vital part of this study.
