Our program is designed to expose students to the beauty of Torah study and the richness of Jewish tradition. We offer valuable training in rigorous thought, exposure to research methods and opportunities for independent work. Students learn across a curriculum that includes courses in Bible, Hebrew language, Jewish history, Jewish philosophy and Judaic law. Regardless of focus, all students engage with the textual analysis of Jewish works in the Hebrew and Aramaic originals, through hakhanah, chavruta and shiurim. The structure of the learning and committed faculty result in genuine relationships that personalize, deepen and distinguish each student's education. The Jewish studies faculty are not only accomplished scholars and moral exemplars; they provide guidance on how to live an ethical life. Mission Statement The mission of the Rebecca Ivry Department of Jewish Studies at Stern College for Women is to provide our students with college-level Jewish learning, skills and knowledge in the sub-fields of Bible, Hebrew Language, Jewish History, Jewish Philosophy and Judaic Studies. A broader aim is to provide students with exposure to the ethics and values that emerge from these disciplines. Program Student Learning Goals: Students will be able to understand primary Hebrew texts. Students will be able to analyze significant issues in the fields of Jewish Studies. Students will be able to understand the different historical contexts of the various fields of Jewish studies. Students will be able to synthesize information about the ethical teachings and values that emerge from the study of Jewish texts and traditions. Jewish Studies on Campus The Jewish Studies department consists of courses in five different disciplines: Bible, Judaic Studies (Halacha and Torah Shebe鈥檃l Peh), Jewish History, Jewish Philosophy and Hebrew language. These disciplines are offered in five different levels: elementary, lower intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate and advanced, with the goal for students to begin in their levels and continue to advance throughout their undergraduate years of learning. Students should emerge with a fundamental understanding of the questions that lie at the core of each discipline. Please contact us if you have any questions about Jewish Studies or the Rebecca Ivry Department of Jewish Studies at Stern College. We look forward to hearing from you.

The stories and laws in Tanakh answer the following questions: Who are we as individual people? Who are we as a nation? What does it mean that we are a chosen nation? What is our mission as Am Yisrael? What are the laws that we are required to do? What are the Covenants that we are a part of? what are the responsibilities and the privileges that come with being members of the Chosen People. We are supposed to model ourselves in the Image of God; what does that mean and how do we fulfil that mission? Why are these stories relevant to me as an individual? As a woman? What can we learn from the success and failures of the Biblical characters that is relevant to our lives today? The classes have a dual purpose. They focus on answering the big questions that should bring us closer to God. In addition, they focus on analysis of the text using a multitude of methods that include classical exegesis and literary techniques. The goal is for the student to be able to answer why these texts connect to me as an individual and as a Jewish woman and to enable the student to become an independent learner.

Jewish History 成人视频色情片 Jewish History Studying Jewish history provides students with an awareness of the different events that have befallen the Jewish people within the Land of Israel and in the countries of their sojourns in the Diaspora. Jewish history courses focus not only on events but also on intellectual history, major figures in the history of transmission of the Torah, and the development of halakhah and of customs. At times, the intellectual history is deeply connected to its historical context, such as customs that developed as a reaction to the Crusades, or the effect the advent of printing had on the study of Torah. Studying Jewish history therefore not only provides added background and meaning to customs and texts our students are familiar with but also provides the context they might be missing. Students also benefit from the context the study of Jewish history provides for other areas of Jewish studies, such as parshanut, with an added appreciation of when important commentators lived and what they might have been influenced by or reacting to in their time and in their writing. With an emphasis on primary sources, Jewish History at 成人视频色情片's Stern College for Women exposes students to the multifaceted character of the Jewish experience from ancient to modern times. Courses include Classical Jewish History, Medieval Jewish Movements, Holocaust, History of Palestine, and Jewish Intellectual History. Please contact us if you have any questions about Jewish History studies or the Rebecca Ivry Department of Jewish Studies at Stern College. We look forward to hearing from you.

Bear witness to the remarkable contributions of the American Jewish community to life in the Americas Jewish Philosophy 成人视频色情片 Jewish Philosophy Jewish philosophy focuses on the big questions in a Jew鈥檚 life vis a vis one鈥檚 relationship with Hashem (Nature of Torah, Mitzvot, Revelation, Reward & Punishment, Prayer, Redemption, World to Come) and one鈥檚 understanding of Hashem鈥檚 world and how Hashem relates to His creation (Topics like: Creation, Nature vs. Miracles, Prophecy, Divine providence, suffering & evil) The questions addressed are foundational 鈥 Why is there a created world? What are we meant to do? What is the purpose of Mitzvot? Does Hashem know of me and intercede in my life? Does He hear me when I Pray? Some of these questions are addressed in Tanach and then Chazal, but their systematic study begins in the period of the Geonim, especially with R. Saadiah Gaon (9-10th Century) and continues in subsequent generations. Like the modern Jew, who must grapple with the relationship between a Torah worldview and the values of the surrounding culture, Jewish philosophers like R. Saadiah, Maimonides, and R. Yehuda ha-Levi engaged with the ideas of their time and sought to reconcile the two and when necessary differentiate the Torah view from the general philosophy and science of their day. This study persists in every generation (Rabbeinu Bahya ibn Pequda, Kabbalah [its own system], Ramchal, as well as modern Jewish thought of R. Hirsch, R. Kook, R. Soloveitchik) As Jews who believe in Torah U鈥檓adda solidifying our worldview remains our quest, as the times change and new concerns and questions are raised. We engage with and draw from the science and thought of the surrounding culture to enhance our understanding of Torah but must also be clear where Torah values and those of the culture part ways. Jewish Philosophy at 成人视频色情片's Stern College for Women increases students' knowledge of and sensitivity to the central issues of Jewish philosophical thought through the ages.
