1 1 The History of the Jews of the United States of America JST 225 SPRING 2008 Instructor: Erik Greenberg Office Hours: Mon & Wed. By Appointment Introduction The purpose of this course is to explore the 353 year history of American Jewry. We will first attempt to understand broad definitional categories such as Jews and Jewishness, certain variants of democracy, as well as other ideas and terms relating to Jewish and American history and identity. We will then explore the history and historiography of American Jewry, developing a broad chronological overview while paying close attention to specific historical moments and certain milestones in the writing of American Jewish history. Upon completion of this course students should: Possess a broad knowledge of American History Gain a deeper appreciation for an historical understanding of Jewish identity in America and the world. Be able to identify within the American narrative specific events and movements of significance to the American-Jewish community. Be able to identify prominent American Jews and articulate their significance to the history of America and American Jewry. Comprehend the subjectivity of the study of history, and be able to identify the goals and projects of prominent American-Jewish historians. Throughout your academic career you have encountered history teachers that expect you to memorize historic facts and then spit them out onto a sheet of paper. This is not one of those classes. History is a discussion between the present and the past, an attempt to understand why an historic event happened through the lens of today s societal zeitgeist. Those of you that have siblings, think of a time when you got into trouble because of something your brother or sister did. Now try to interpret the same event looking at it from your sibling s point of view. Trying to make sense of those two wildly different perspectives is, in fact, the study of history. Course Requirements When we come to class we do so to form a community of scholars who explore historical phenomena. Our success in achieving this goal depends, to a great extent, on your active participation in both our discussions and in your written work. Our success as a group will help you succeed individually. To insure your successful completion of this course you must fulfill the following course requirements: Regular attendance as well as on time arrival to class. Three unexcused absences will result in a 20% deduction (APPROXIMATELY TWO FULL LETTER GRADES) from your final grade. As well, if you are routinely late for my class I will deduct a significant amount of points from your class participation grade. o Naturally I do expect that there are certain circumstances which might preclude you from attending class. If you are sick and have a note from a doctor, or if you experience the loss or serious illness of a loved one (again with a verifiable note) I will excuse you from that day s section. Nevertheless you must make up the lost class time through a written assignment. Successful completion of all assigned readings prior to class Please note that I will give you a series of study questions for the week s reading. While these questions will not represent the entirety of our discussion, they will help guide you through the reading. In particular, you should write down page numbers that correspond to these questions so that you can cite the texts in class. Active and informed discussion throughout the semester.
2 2 Completing and submitting any oral presentations and written assignments on time The successful completion of any pop quizzes or take home assignments not currently listed on our syllabus. Polite and respectful treatment of your fellow students and your instructor. This means, among other things, not interrupting other students or your instructor, and respectfully listening to all opinions (even those that you disagree with). Considering my limited time on campus, is an essential tool in this class. Please make sure that I have an accurate I will use that address unless you tell me otherwise. Also, make sure to check your Junk File frequently. Microsoft and other programs like to store s to large groups (like a class for example) in the junk folder. Grading The study of history requires reading, thinking, writing and speaking. In order to develop a thoughtful understanding of the past you must first study it by reading primary and secondary materials. After you ve completed your reading you must assess the materials through critical thought, and after thinking about the readings for some period of time you must present your opinions and findings through writing and discussion. Your grade in this class will reflect your efforts in these four disciplines. While I cannot stand over you and confirm that you ve read the assigned materials, and I cannot sneak inside your brain and watch you think about them, I can assess your knowledge of the material, and the time given to study, through your performance in in-class discussions and your writing assignments. The following is a break down of the grading system: General In Class Participation In class Presentation First Paper (Due Week 7) 3-5 pages Second Paper (Due Week 11) 3-5-pages Third Paper (Due Final Week) 5-7 pages Total 40 Points So be sure to come to class! 20 Points 45 Points 45 Points 50 Points 200 Points Points to Grade Breakdown A Points B Points C Points D Points F 119 Points and Below Books I will generally require you to read a number of works each week offering a variety of perspectives on a given topic. Consequently, much of your reading will consist of downloaded articles or handouts. Still, the recent 350 th anniversary of the Jewish presence in America has led to two significant texts which demand a closer reading. You
