Explore the complex features of Jewish peoplehood and the contemporary challenges to the Jewish people in an era in which we have moved from having no home to having two different, vibrant, homes in Israel and in North America.
The 14-week curriculum from the Shalom Hartman Institute's iEngage Project includes video lectures, interviews, and textual sources, examining the forces dividing the Jewish people today, including nationalism, antisemitism, dual-loyalty, and identity politics. We'll consider what it means to be a member of the Jewish people and the core values that animate Jewish peoplehood and imagine new conceptual frameworks that can help sustain and grow the story of our people for a new millennium.
Curriculum:
Unit 1: From No Home to Two Homes
Unit 2: The Judaism of Being
Unit 3: The Judaism of Becoming
Unit 4: On Universalism and Particularism
Unit 5: Between Nationalism, Ultra-Nationalism, and Fascism
