JWST 101 Introduction to Jewish Studies 3.0 Credits
What is a Jew? Who is a Jew? What defines Judaism? These questions relate to religion, ethnicity, culture, nation, race, and more. A shared heritage unites Jews, yet understandings and interpretations of what it means to be Jewish are hotly contested, especially in the 21st century. In this course, we dig into Jewish thought and history and explore the ways they have shaped ethnic identity, cultural heritage, and religious tradition.
