JST 112 - Judaism

Description
This course delves into the study of Judaism as text and as a living, evolving practice. Students will read primary scriptural sources as well as foundational works of Jewish philosophy and mysticism. The dynamic interaction between Jewish text and ritual expression will be examined as students encounter Jewish themes of exile, peoplehood, holiness, and tikkun olam (world-fixing) across historical time periods and in a variety of Jewish cultural contexts. All students are welcome regardless of previous experience/knowledge of Judaism! Same as RST112.
