*JHI 6244 Diaspora and Exile in Ancient Jewish Thought (CRN 60626)

This course will explore how early Jews understood the categories of sacred space, exile, and diaspora, and how Jews within and without the Land of Israel related to one another in the ancient world. We will begin by studying biblical texts that address the Babylonian exile and the question of whether God would fully restore the Land of Israel and its Temple to their former glory after the exile came to an end. We will then consider how Jews throughout the ancient world developed strategies to accommodate the realities of global Jewish life, and close with an examination of how the early rabbis developed new approaches to the exile and God鈥檚 place within it.

Secularism and Religion in Zionism and Israel

JHI 6508 (CRN 60627)

From its inception, the Zionist movement has been divided between competing secularist and religious visions of Jewish national renaissance. In this course, we will explore this tension from an historical perspective. The first half of the semester will discuss rabbinic attitudes toward 岣bat Zion and Theodor Herzl; the conflict between cultural and religious Zionism; the theological arguments of both anti-Zionist and Zionist rabbis; the religious Zionist drashah as synthesis of traditional Judaism and Zionism; and the rise of Mizra岣 as a political movement. During the second half, we will explore the tensions between secularism and religion in the State of Israel. Topics will include: The attitudes of the founders of the State of Israel toward Judaism and the question of the halakhic or secular nature of Israeli law; the compromise achieved at the founding of the State; differing attitudes within the 岣redi world toward the state; and the transformation of religious Zionism following the Six Day War. The course will end with a look at the contemporary tensions between 岣lonim and 岣redim in Israel today.

All classes will meet on 成人视频色情片鈥檚 Zoom platform.
