University of Michigan

The program aims to provide students with the analytical and philosophical tools needed to understand, compare, and evaluate different conceptualizations of Judaism. The core course, Secular Jewish Thought offers a philosophical introduction to understanding cultural manifestations of Judaism. Jewish Identities examines the social forces that shaped the historical development of Jewish identities and realities of contemporary Judaism, Israeli Society explores in which aspects Israel is Western and secular, from a macro-sociological, historical, and comparative perspective, and Jews in American Culture examines the way the authors of masterpieces of American literature grappled with the meaning of Jewish identity in America.

Secular Jewish Thought

This course examines three themes:

1. The ideas of enlightenment and progress and the question of emancipation: are the ideas of enlightenment and the fundamental beliefs of Judaism compatible? Can Jews become enlightened and remain Jews? Can religious Jews participate as citizens in modern politics? We will examine how the ideas of enlightenment, progress, and emancipation were formed and transformed in debates on these questions throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

2. The question of identity: what does it mean to be a secular Jew? Can it be a national or cultural identity and of what sort? Is it compatible with other identities (as a member of the working class, as a citizen, for example)? What are the relations between individual identity and group identity? After 1948, is Jewish identity tied to the State of Israel? Is support for the State of Israel or its policies a constitutive part of being Jewish?

3. Identity after the holocaust: This section will examine the ways in which Jewish philosophers re-examined the enlightenment ideas of reason, universalism, and progress following the experiences of the holocaust.

Jewish Identities

The course will discuss the questions: who and what is a Jew, how one can be an ethnic or self-identifying Jew without religion or religiosity, how secular Jewishness is conceived and practiced in both Israel and the Diaspora, and how secular Jews pass their Jewish heritage to the next generation.

Special attention will be given to several sets of historical forces that have shaped Jewish identity: secularism and modernism/postmodernism, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, and Zionism and the State of Israel. The relative centrality of ethnicity (ethnic descent), religion and religiosity as compared to language, culture, nation (peoplehood) and citizenship in Jewish identity will be linked to the differences in the characteristics of the Jewish community. Currents in Jewish public thought, historical transformations of Jewishness and contemporary attitudes and behavior of the Jewish population will be surveyed.

Israeli Society

The course will present a macro-sociological, historical, and comparative approach to selected areas of life in Israeli society. It will focus on the question in which ways and to what extent Israel is Western and secular and becoming even more so. The topics that will be covered are a conceptual framework for a comparative study of developed societies, distinct features of Israeli society, the formative period, demography, culture, religion, politics, economy, military, the Israeli-Arab conflict and transition to peace (non-belligerency), internal divisions and conflicts, and long-term change.
