JS 1000 Introduction to Jewish Studies 2HL 3 0 Introduces Jewish culture, history and politics. We will examine how the<br />
Jewish people and their religion emerged in Biblical times, and how Jewish<br />
culture has evolved and flourished for 3,000 years. We will look at the many<br />
varieties of "Jewishness," as well as the impact the Jews have had on their<br />
non-Jewish neighbors. Students will learn about largely unrecognized aspects<br />
of Jewish culture. From Christianity to communism, from American humor and<br />
music, the Jews have bequeathed a rich and diverse heritage to humanity.<br />
JS 2100 History of Jewish Humor 2HL 3 0 Explores the rich universe of Jewish humor. We will trace its evolution from<br />

cinema and television, where Woody Allen, Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Brooks, and<br />
others have made American humor Jewish and Jewish humor American. We<br />
will probe the significance of the schlemiel, the schlimazel, and the schnorrer,<br />
and why these cultural archetypes which emerged centuries ago in Eastern<br />
Europe still have such resonance today.<br />
