Enduring Questions in Modern Judaism

Course Description

Disciplines

Cultures & Societies of the World, Artistic, Interpretive, & Philosophical Inquiry, Second Writing

This course is built around the "big" questions Jews in the modern period have faced--such as "Who is a Jew?," "Are there divine commandments?," "Must a Jew believe anything?," "Can there be God after Auschwitz?" Each unit will approach a different question from a variety of perspectives and sources--secular and religious--offering tools to understand complexities, acknowledge context, and ask new questions.
