REL 74.18 Judaism and Ecology

Tracking between ancient, medieval and modern texts, we will consider the rise of Jewish “environmentalism” in the late 19th and 20th centuries, both as theory and practice, and the changing place in Judaism and Jewish life of themes such as agriculture, animals, nature, pantheism and anthropocentrism. The course offers a window into central but often marginalized aspects of Judaism and Jewish culture and society as they changed over the centuries; familiarity with some of Judaism’s major texts; a survey of some vital features of contemporary Jewish life and Jewishness.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
