This Spring considering registering for:

American Jewish Experience
JDS 235
Professor Daniel P. Kotzin
Spring 2010
MWF 10:00-10:50

Course Description:
This course will examine the Jewish experience in America by studying American Jewish life from colonial beginnings to the present with a focus on immigration, assimilation, social mobility, education and the family, and group identity. A central question for the course is: how have American Jews understood what it means to be Jewish in America? By using this question as the focus, students will explore the ways in which American Jewish identities have been constructed through efforts to maintain Jewish distinctiveness while also integrating into the larger American society. Students will look at how Jewish tradition has adapted to America, how Jewish communal life developed in America, how American Jews built relationships with the international Jewish community, and how American Jews related with other Americans.
