About this course
This course explores Jewish history within a range of communities with a focus on the immigrant nature of these communities. Using a range of sources-- historical, literary, and cultural--students examine key issues at the heart of the Jewish experience for specific communities: immigration; community; religion; race; language; Zionism; urban life; music; education and professionalism; discrimination; the Holocaust; and food. Class meetings take advantage of Baruch's location in New York City, home to the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel with museum visits, city tours, and the hosting a number of speakers who will share their intimate knowledge of New York Jewish community life.
