Learning outcomes

History seminars dealing with Jewish history intend to introduce chosen aspects of social, political, economic and cultural history of Jews. A particular emphasis is placed on an interdisciplinary approach to individual topics. Prof. Marcose Silbera (University of Haifa): Jewish Modern History as Transnational History. The Jewish experience in Eastern Europe from the late 19th century till the middle of the 20th century In many ways, the Jewish experience in Modern times is situated in the local and global interconnection. This seminar will explore transnational aspects of the Jewish experience from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, focusing on Eastern Europe and its global implications. We will examine how multiple contexts across boundaries interweaved and interplayed in struggles for recognition, as strategic tools and political aims. We will interpret the history of Jewish communities in Eastern Europe against the backdrop of social, economic, political, and cultural changes throughout Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
A student acquires basic knowledge regarding individual stages of Jewish history, terminology and chronological phases.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Student performance, Dialog, Seminar Work
Students are obliged to prepare for every seminar (set reading list) and participate actively in discussions. They will obtain credits at the end of the seminar. Readings include both academic and primary sources. The primary sources will help us think about Jews and Jewish communities responded to global challenges and opportunities with their centripetal and centrifugal power. How did individuals think and write about themselves and each other as individuals and as a community? In the global Jewish context and in their localities? What do these sources reveal about the processes of social and political transference and transformation in modern Jewish history? In answering these questions, our goal will be to use the tools of historical investigation and analysis to explore a complex and contested history.
