1 Introduction to Jewish History: Modern Jewish History HIST/JWST 1108 Professor David Shneer Goals of the Course: Who are Jews? In this foundation to Jewish Studies, we will study the rise of and responses to modernity to understand how Jews have gone from a relatively tight knit group of people bound together by religious law to a group of individuals with diverse Jewish identities. After a brief introduction to the origins of Jewish history, we will study: 1. Jews and Their Interactions with Others 2. Responses to secularism and modernity 3. The development of modern Jewish literatures and cultures that were as much in dialogue with European literature as with the traditional Jewish literature 4. The breaking down of individual and communal boundaries that allowed Jews to go from the group in the ghetto to being one of the most integrated yet highly visible minorities in European and American societies. We will read many primary sources, reading diaries, letters, philosophy, poetry, and other materials, and will also study some secondary sources that expose us to Jewish history. This course serves as a foundation course for the Certificate in Jewish Studies. Books: 1. John Efron, Joshua Holo et al, The Jews 2. Caryn Aviv and David Shneer, New Jews: The End of the Jewish Diaspora (New York: NYU Press, 2005). 3.
