RELS 389 - Jewish Women and Religion

(4)
Examines the role of women in Judaism from ancient time to the present; how they contributed to the development of this religious culture and how their lives were impacted by Jewish law and practice over the centuries. We also look at issues of diversity such as marginalization, oppression, contributions, and resistance both within the Jewish community and between the Jewish and non-Jewish communities. Considerable attention will be given to Jewish women in America as well as the role of women in the development of Israel. We approach this topic using primary sources, secondary scholarly sources, popular media and personal interviews. Even years Spring.
