JWST 351 - Topics in Jewish Religion-Jewish Holidays


Unit(s): 4
This course is an in-depth study of the biblical and cultural significance of the major Jewish holidays and their practice around the world and throughout history. We will organize the course historically, beginning with the ancient legends that helped create the holidays before exploring their deployment over time, geography, and cultures. We will also look at the holidays as they have been interpreted by important Jewish thinkers throughout history and analyze the way ancient traditions both change and remain the same over time.
