Is it a religion? a race? An ethnic group? a nationality? Jews can be found in almost every country in the world. But who are they? And what (or who) makes them Jewish? While many Jewish institutions decry intermarriage and the decline of community participation, Jewishness is alive and well in diverse communities, in institutions, in rituals, in personal histories and identities. Rather than trying to establish what is the "right" or "authentic" way to be Jewish, we will try to understand how people create and experience a variety of Jewish identities, and how those identities are shaped by internal and external social forces. Even "traditional" or "orthodox" Jews spend the majority of their time doing things besides practicing their religion, and we will consider how, when, and why some of those things are seen, felt, and labeled as Jewish. If you're interested in religion, race, ethnicity, cultural boundaries, immigrant experiences, inter-generational conflict, tradition vs. modernity, marginality, cultural responses to genocide, diaspora, collective memory, or new trends in social science, this course will give you a chance to broaden and deepen your thinking.
