In this course we explore themes in Jewish thought by reading and discussing key texts from antiquity to the present. These great Jewish books provide us with perspectives on Jewish identity offered by culturally diverse thinkers and communities including the rabbis of antiquity, medieval Jewish philosophers and mystics and modern commentators and novelists such as Theodor Herzl, Sigmund Freud, Philip Roth and Cynthia Ozick.
