It provides students a foundation in understanding the key events, transformations, and traditions that have shaped Jewish communities around the world over time. Jewish experiences in the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas are examined, with attention to the diversity of Jewish cultures and to changing temporal contexts. Political, intellectual, cultural, and social history are at the center of the sources and narratives which students interpret as they consider questions on themes that include identity, agency, community, religion, and diaspora.
