In addition to identifying and analyzing points of Jewish-Christian difference, students will explore how Jews writing in Yiddish navigated America as members of a religious minority and how they narrated the experiences of other minoritized groups, such as African Americans and Native Americans. How are hierarchical social relationships constructed in multi-ethnic and multi-lingual America? How, in turn, does the Jewish experience become and not become a paradigm of Americanization for subsequent communities of migrants? Major themes include cultural translation, ethnicity, migration, “melting pot,” multilingualism, and assimilation.

JS 423: Modern Jewish Thought
Meets with Sociology 423
Instructor: Prof. Chad Alan Goldberg
TR 2:30-3:45PM
Credits: 3
Breadth: Social Science
Level: Intermediate
Description: How do Jews fit into the modern world? In the late 19th century, as cultural assimilation, economic impoverishment, and rising antisemitism sowed doubts about the viability of traditionalism and emancipation alike, Jewish social and political thinkers began to propose new answers to the “Jewish question.” This course will introduce students to some of the major answers they debated, including revolutionary universalistic utopias (socialism and Communism), various forms of Jewish nationalism, hyphenated identities, cultural pluralism, and cosmopolitanism. We will contextualize these ideas historically while also considering whether and how they remain relevant to the present. Readings include Marx, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Pinsker, Herzl, Ahad Ha-Am, Dubnow, Medem, Kallen, Freud, Horkheimer and Adorno, and Arendt.

JS 432-001: American Jewish Women and the Body of Tradition
Cross-listed with Religious Studies 400-001
Instructor: Prof. Cara Rock-Singer
T 1:20-3:15
Credits: 3
Requisite: Sophomore standing
Level: Intermediate
Breadth: Humanities; Counts as Liberal Arts and Science credit in L&S
Description: Since the second half of the twentieth century, Jewish women have remade American Judaism by putting their bodies front and center. In the face of a largely male rabbinic elite, they have created new models of ritual, communal leadership, and textual interpretation both within and outside existing Jewish institutions and denominations. How have women mobilized embodied practice and knowledge in efforts to reinterpret, reclaim, and reinvent Judaism? How have these changes reverberated in communities that explicitly reject feminism? And what can these women teach us about religion, gender, and sexuality in America more broadly? By focusing on the role of the body, gender, and sexuality in Jewish life, this course will examine the ways that American Judaism and Jewishness are constituted and contested through everyday practices.

JS 631: Advanced Topics in Jewish History: Zionism and Its Critics
Fulfills one “History/Social Sciences” requirement for the major/certificate
Cross-listed with History 500
Instructor: Prof. Tony Michels
T 1:20-3:15PM
Credits: 3
Level: Advanced
Breadth: Humanities; Counts as Liberal Arts and Science credit in L&S
Description: In the late-19th century, Jews in Europe initiated a movement for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, then part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.   Known as Zionism, this movement eventually led to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.  There were multiple forms of Zionism that pursued various strategies and goals.  Zionism also generated fierce criticism from various quarters within and outside the Jewish community.  Much was at stake in the debates among Zionists and between Zionists and their critics:  the fate of Jews in increasingly perilous countries and empires, the prospects of Arab nationalism in Palestine and the larger region, and other critical issues.  This seminar explores Zionism’s history in multiple locations from multiple perspectives.  Framed most broadly, the seminar explores the interplay between nationalism, socialism, and liberalism through the case of the Jews as they became entangled with nation-states, empires, and revolutions from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.

Seminar members will identify and investigate topics that they find relevant to their present and future lives. Students from all majors are welcome. The course is open to anyone who appreciates music and is interested in how music has been utilized by both victimizers as well as victims.
