Jewish Liberal Denominations: History, Theologies, and Educational Approaches - Einzelansicht

From 19th century onward, modern Judaism is characterized by the rise of new denominations, offering modern perceptions of Jewish religiosity, history, destiny, and way of life: Ultra-Orthodoxy, Modern-Orthodoxy, Conservative Judaism, Liberal (Reform) Judaism, Secular Judaism. The course will follow the interrelations between these various interpretations of Jewish identity, focusing mostly on the liberal and secular-cultural ones, their roles in creating major contemporary Jewish phenomena (the Zionist Israeli being, the North-American center of Jewish life, the emergence of contemporary Post-Shoah Jewish life in Europe, etc.).
