This course seeks to provide a general introduction to classical Judaism and Jewish identity. It will focus on Judaism as a way of living and thinking throughout its various historical permutations, and on Jews as bearers of a evolving identities. We will focus on four broadly defined periods: the biblical, second Temple, rabbinic and medieval. We will examine the diversity of Jewish religious and “ethnic” identities across these periods, and within them.
