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 11th century, emphasizing the way these texts relate to their predecessors and have influenced their successors. The course will also describe the essence of both halakha (law) and aggadah (legend).

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.

The social genre of the communications media (newspaper and television) serves as the basis for discussion of current events, readings, and writing tasks. Unedited newspaper selections and television news broadcasts provide the basis for classroom activities. Special projects, in the form of debates and individual presentations, constitute an important part of the course activities, and are designed to enhance speech and communication. The final grade is based on class activities, students' presentations, written assignments, and two examinations: midterm and final. Class discussions and activities are exclusively in Hebrew.
