JWST 151 - Modern Jewish Thought Semester Offered: Second Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4HU, CD
In this course, we will explore how Jews navigated the intellectual, political, and spiritual conditions of modernity, and the new forms of Jewish thought and identity that emerged from those encounters. This story of clash and confluence will lead us through pathways of Jewish “enlightenment” and existentialism, radical mysticism and modern fundamentalism, secular Zionisms and theological feminisms. Special attention will be paid to how Jews reinterpreted traditional sources and practices in light of new experiences, and to dynamics between disillusionment and renewal. Enrollment Limit: 35 Instructor: S. Shonkoff Cross List Information This course is cross-listed with RELG 251
