2 Mosse/Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies Faculty Meeting December 4, Humanities Building 3:30 pm In attendance: Michael Bernard-Donals, Rachel Brenner, Nadav Shelef, Simone Schweber, Jeff Blakely, Jeremy Hutton, Philip Hollander, Jordan Rosenblum, Doug Rosenberg, Bilha Mirkin, Nati Israeli, Teryl Dobbs, Laurie Silverberg, Ron Troxel Meeting called to order at 3:35 pm. I. Minutes from October 23, 2013 Faculty Meeting approved. II. Updates and Announcements 1. Welcome to Teryl Dobbs, our newest affiliate 2. We ve received a half-million dollar pledge from alumnus Richard Sincere to support some sort of partnership with Tel Aviv University. Have already discussed possibilities with some faculty; we ll have a larger discussion later in this meeting. 3. Fundraising event Jewish Madison in the 1960s will take place this Sunday, December 8 at the Standard Club in Chicago. 4. We have a digital communications intern to assist with social media, podcasts, and the website. Promoting our courses particularly to non-js majors is a priority. III. Undergraduate studies committee: report on integrating the Hebrew program into the Jewish Studies major 1. Handout: Draft proposal for new track in Modern Hebrew and Israeli Culture 2. Background: with the dissolution of the Hebrew Department, we need to find a way to allow the modern Hebrew program to continue in some form. The
3 undergraduate studies committee has been meeting this semester to determine how best to integrate the modern Hebrew program into the Jewish Studies major. 3. The proposed track will be closely aligned with the Jewish Studies major requirements. The main difference is that students must take four courses dealing specifically with Hebrew literature or Israeli Culture, spread across the Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts and History and Social Sciences categories. The track is administered internally, will be advised by the existing JS advisor, and requires only the approval of the L&S Curriculum Committee. 4. Discussion: a. What are the weaknesses and drawbacks? Main drawback is not having many courses in this track, particularly in the realm of Israeli culture (art, music, film). Hope is that there will be more courses to offer in the future. b. What do we stand to gain from a new track? Is it worth the time and effort, and will it attract students? It s important to keep a nationally known program alive, and we need to offer a landing spot for students who would do a Hebrew major. Also important to alumni and donors that the Hebrew program continue to be offered in some form. Finally, this will not pose much of an administrative burden because it s already so close to the existing major. c. How does the Hebrew language requirement compare to the existing Hebrew major? Is there an expected standard of fluency for students as they exit the program? The language requirement is the same (through 402). True fluency not possible unless a student goes to Israel, but our expectation of proficiency at the 402 level is consistent with L&S standards of proficiency. d. What do we call it? Will be known informally as Hebrew Track. A number of variants discussed. Note that trend in MLA is to emphasize literature and culture, not simply language acquisition.
4 e. Vote #1: approve the substance of the proposed track: 9 in favor, 0 opposed, 1 abstention. f. Vote #2: approval of the name. Final decision: Modern Hebrew, Literature, and Israeli Culture. IV. Discussion of half-million dollar gift (cooperative programming with Tel Aviv University) 1. Background: Richard Sincere (BA 75) has pledged to give CJS and TAU each $500K in support of some kind of cooperative programming. This is an expendable fund and potentially a test gift for a larger donation later on. 2. Have already held some exploratory conversations with some faculty. Ideas currently on the table include blended learning/team-taught course; faculty exchange; intersession or summer course; research seminar; student exchange; postdoc; version of Mosse program; mini-courses; speaker series. 3. Discussion: a. What do we know about donor and interests? (Class of 1975, History major, studied abroad in Tel Aviv) b. Probably cannot count on much funding/support from TAU. Should expect to shoulder majority of costs. c. What is the timetable for using the funds? Flexible, would like to give donor some ideas in the next month or two. d. Would recommend doing three things: aim for faculty exchange ASAP; explore hybrid, cross-atlantic course; and some sort of faculty conference with publication (edited volume). Meeting adjourned at 4:47
5 Draft Proposal: Track in Modern Hebrew and Israeli Culture December 2, 2013 With the dissolution of the Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies, the Center for Jewish Studies proposes a new track within the Jewish Studies major. This track in Hebrew Literature and Israeli Culture will allow students to focus their Jewish Studies coursework on Modern Hebrew literature and the culture, history, and politics of Israel. When this track is implemented, the major in Modern Hebrew will no longer be offered. This track, which will be administered by the Jewish Studies undergraduate advisor, follows the same general requirements of the regular Jewish Studies major, with the following changes: Students in this track must take Hebrew 401 (Survey of Modern Hebrew Literature) and Hebrew 402 (Topics in Modern Hebrew Literature, repeatable for credit). In the event that a student uses Hebrew to fulfill the Hebrew Texts requirement, they must repeat Hebrew 402. The second time they take Hebrew 402, it will count toward the Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts requirement. In the 6 courses taken across the Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts and History and Social Science clusters, 4 courses must deal in some way with Israel, or be selected from an approved list of cognate courses (see page 3). The diaspora requirement in the Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts category is eliminated for the Hebrew track. The American requirement for the History and Social Science category is eliminated for the Hebrew track. Students will still be required to take Intro to Judaism (211) and the Capstone Sequence.
6 Jewish Studies Major (regular) Track in Hebrew Literature and Israeli Culture Intro to Judaism (JS 211) Hebrew Texts (2 courses) Choose 2 courses from the following: 301, 302, 401, 402 Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts (3 courses) Three courses in Jewish literature, philosophy, and the arts, at least one of which must deal with the Jewish experience in Diaspora written in a language other than Hebrew e.g., English, French, German, Russian, Yiddish. History and Social Science (3 courses) Three courses in Jewish history or social science, at least one of which must deal with the experience of Jews in America. Students are strongly encouraged to take at least one course offered by the History department. Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts (3 courses) Three courses in Jewish literature, philosophy, and the arts, with the following restrictions: If a student uses Hebrew to fulfill the Hebrew texts requirement, then they must take as two of the three courses in the Lit/Phil/Arts category. If a student uses Hebrew to fulfill the Hebrew texts requirement, they must repeat Hebrew 402 as one of the three courses required in the Lit/Phil/Arts category. History and Social Science (3 courses) Three courses in Jewish history or social science. Students are strongly encouraged to take at least one course offered by the History department. 4 out of 6 classes to deal with Modern Hebrew or Israeli culture Capstone Sequence = 4 credits JS 675: Capstone = 1 credit JS 677: Directed Study = 3 credits
7 Courses To count toward the Hebrew/Israel track, a course must in some way contribute to the student s understanding of Israeli literature, history, culture, politics, and society, or of the position of Israel in a larger geopolitical context. Nearly all courses currently listed with the Hebrew department will count toward this track. (Exceptions include lower-division language courses.) Coursework taken abroad may also count toward this track. Beyond the courses listed below, we expect to identify more courses over the next few years as students bring syllabi for courses currently not listed. A. Courses to count toward Hebrew/Israel track Courses in this category are automatically approved to fulfill the requirements of the Hebrew/Israel track and will be programmed as such into DARS. Additional courses (particularly those taught regularly) may be added to this category with the approval of the CJS undergraduate studies committee. Department Nr.

8 B. Other potential courses Courses in this category have the potential to fulfill the requirements of the Hebrew/Israel track, but students must first petition the undergraduate advisor by submitting a course syllabus and a brief statement justifying why the course should count toward this track. Depending on the course content and requirements, a student may be asked to write their final paper on a topic related to their studies in Modern Hebrew/Israeli culture. Department Nr.
