270/Judaic Studies 270. Introduction
to Rabbinic Literature. (3). (HU).
Rabbinic Literature, commonly referred to as "oral law," was the
basis of Jewish culture for almost 2,000 years and a basic knowledge of
it is a prerequisite for any study of Jewish life and/or literature until
modern times. This course will examine the concept of oral law and focus
on the written sources of the "oral law," from the time of the
Second Temple until the exile from Spain, emphasizing the way these texts
relate to their predecessors and have influenced their successors. (Tabory)

296/Judaic Studies 296/Rel. 296.
Perspectives on the Holocaust. (4). (HU).
A study of the Holocaust as a historical event and its impact on Jewish
thought and culture. We first survey the historical context: the European
Jewish community on the eve of the destruction, and the events leading up
to and culminating in that destruction. We will then focus on inner Jewish
(and gentile) reactions to the Holocaust, and broader philosophical and
ethical implications. We ask: What are the problems (moral, emotional, conceptual)
in reading and writing about the Holocaust? What are its implications for
those of us who come "after"? The course is also a meditation
on visions of the Other, on ethnic-religious hatred, tolerance, and healing.
Memoirs, poetry, fiction, psychological literature, as well as conversations
with survivors. Take-home midterm; final exam; 5-8 page paper; journal.
Cost:3-4

301(Hebrew 401). Advanced Hebrew, I.
HJCS 202. (3). (Excl).
This is the third-year course within the Hebrew language sequence at the
University of Michigan. As such, it constitutes a transitional stage from
the lower levels - in which the concern is with learning introductory grammar
and acquisition of functional vocabulary - to the more advanced levels in
which we will focus on the more complex linguistic structures. At this level
we will treat original texts which will serve as the jumping-off point for
in-class discussion and the basis for composition of essays at home. The
goal is to expose the student to a wide range of texts as a window unto
"the Israeli Experience." The course will incorporate other communications
media, e.g., material recorded on audio tape, video clips and multi-media.
