Jewish Literary Heritage

There are no scheduled sessions at this time. Sign up to be notified when this course is available.

The class offers the history, context, and examples of Jewish literary works and periods of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, mysticism, Enlightenment, contemporary fiction, and ballet. The texts demonstrate that the literary tradition affirms the human condition, provides exemplary and educational narratives, and tells the story of survival and celebration throughout Jewish history. The course affirms that the Jewish tradition finds the sacred in the everyday as opposed to the messianic, apocalyptic, or utopic. All texts are Open Source and available online except the optional, monograph resource, Sacred Body: Readings in Jewish Literary Illumination, whose material is covered in the lecture.
