Course Cross-listed with JS 205
3 credit(s)
This course examines some of the key issues in the development of Israeli history, culture, society, and the arts. In seeking to create a radical new society, Israelis have created a unique culture that blends traditional Jewish culture in its Middle Eastern, Western European, and Eastern European forms. We study major themes in Zionist and Israeli history and the development of Israeli culture through a focus on the central questions that have both unified and divided Israeli society.
