Jewish Responses to Modernity
HIST 106 SP

This course will explore challenges and dilemmas Jews faced in modern times, their responses to them and the formation of new modern Jewish identities. We will read primary sources by authors such as Baruch/Benedict Spinoza, Moses Mendelssohn, Samson Raphael Hirsh, Solomon Maimon, Israel Salanter, Rahel Levin Varnhagen, Rosa Luxemburg, Heinrich Heine and others. We will also watch some films that explore the same questions.
