Course ListingsFall 2012Judaic StudiesJS 0055TECH & JEWISH ORAL TRADThe concept of oral tradition and its traditional transmission in theJewish community. We consider why certain men and womenincreasingly see the performance of text as a key to authentic religiousexpression. In many congreg<strong>at</strong>ions, across denomin<strong>at</strong>ional lines, busylay congregants spend hours every week preparing to "read Torah" andlead services <strong>at</strong> Sabb<strong>at</strong>h worship. Many understand this performance ofsacred text as a way to position themselves <strong>at</strong> the core of authenticreligious experience. Increasingly, these oral traditions of chant andprayer are not learned through face to face interaction with cantors,rabbis or other teachers but from websites and computer programssuch as "Haftutor," "CyberTropes," or "Navig<strong>at</strong>ing the Bible." Weexamine how the applic<strong>at</strong>ion of these new technologies is changing thetransmission, study, performance and cultural understanding of thesesacred oral traditions.Sections03553 JS 005501 H+ Summit, Jeffrey 1.0 Meets In Hillel;C-list Rel 10-18JS 0073ASPECTS SEPHARDIC TRAD(Cross-listed as REL 73.)
