Next it turns to the Second Temple Period, focusing on Israel's encounter with Hellenism, Jewish eschatological hopes, and Jewish life under Roman rule. The course then explores the Jewish experience in the early medieval period. Topics in this section include the rise of rabbinic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the world of the Babylonian academies, and Jewish life under Visigothic and Muslim rule. The last section of the course examines Jewish life under Christian rule in Sepharad and Ashkenaz. It emphasizes important trends in medieval Jewish thought and spirituality and traces the evolution of medieval anti-judaism. This course is required for majors and minors in Jewish Studies. It is also cross-listed in the History Department and in Middle Eastern Studies. Course Requirements: You are required to attend class. You are responsible for all of the material that is covered in lecture, some of which will not correspond to the readings. If you arrive late or miss a class, it is your responsibility to get the notes from a classmate. You are required to do the assigned readings for each lecture. On average, these readings will include 25 pages from the textbook or a scholarly article posted on (click on JSC1F07, and then on Resources ), as well as one or more primary sources of varying lengths (in the coursepack). Over the course of the semester you will complete two writing assignments and take two pop quizzes, a midterm, and a final. There will be map sections on the exams. Spelling will count on all assignments and exams. There will be absolutely no make-up exams. Note: You will not be allowed to record lectures unless you have documented special learning needs and permission from the instructor.
