Course Description Dybbuks, golems, evil eye are just some of the more well-known aspects of Jewish folklore, but this course will also examine the folklife of the Jews, their world view, their folk beliefs and fears. Call it folk religion if you will; many of these practices were dismissed by the "offical" Jewish religion as unjewish, but the "folk" persisted and eventually the practice became Judaized and accepted. Using literary sources, ethnographic memoirs, historical documents, films (among them "The Dybbuk" 1939), folklore collections and field trips (among them - to the oldest Austin Jewish cemetery), we will focus on what makes Jewish folklore Jewish. Among the folklore genres to be examined -folktale, legend, folksong, folk music, custom, belief and of course, Jewish humor. This year the course will cover the Jewish Festivals as well. All required articles will either be on the class Canvas site or handed out. Grading Policy Final grades in this class will be based on a +/- system defined and calculated by the University of Texas.
