RELG 100 - Introduction to Jewish Studies: Sacred Spaces and Promised LandsMode(s) of Instruction: In-person FC ARHU CD 4 credits This course is an introduction to Jews, Judaism, and Jewish culture, focusing on the question of where? By centering the spaces and places that Jews have constructed and inhabited from synagogues to coffeehouses, from Jerusalem to Ohio we will foreground questions of power, adaptation, and difference, within Jewish communities and in Jews? interactions with their varied neighbors across history. Through the examination of diverse primary and secondary sources, we will see how ‘sacredness,’ ‘promisedness,’ and ‘Jewishness’ are all complicated and contested. This course is cross-listed with JWST 100
