Beyond Borders: Understanding the Arab-Israeli Conflict
This course provides students with a strong, text-based historical overview from the late nineteenth century through today. Course material is designed to encourage discussion and debate, and to challenge students to appreciate the basis of the conflicting historical claims made by all sides in the conflict. The complexity of the conflict forces students to grapple with issues of religion, culture, history, politics, economics, identity and survival—all reflected through primary sources, including newspaper articles, poetry, songs, government documents, speeches, photographs and memoirs.

Shemot II: From Revelation to Revolution
This course follows the development of the emerging Jewish nation from its awe-inspiring encounter at Mt. Sinai through the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness. The high points of divine revelation in the "Ten Commandments", "Encountering God", and "Face to Face with God" are sharply contrasted with the low points of the "Golden Calf: Revolt or Reversion." The text addresses some of the specific laws and regulations that were to become part of Jewish living as well as the meaning, purpose and relevance to our lives today.

 BeMidbar: Leadership Defied and Defended
Israel's fateful journey through the wilderness of Sinai presented numerous challenges to the leadership of Moses and Aaron; at times the nation challenged their competence as leaders, and at times individuals arose to challenge their very right to lead. This course will survey the dramatic events of the fourth book of the Torah, Sefer BeMidbar, through analysis of biblical texts, artwork and related commentaries, old and new. As students explore the biblical narratives describing forty years of wandering in the wilderness, they will be surprised to note the timeless nature of those stories. How can the lessons learned from the past be applied to solving the communal challenges of the present and the future? BeMidbar introduces significant literary tools often used by scholars in the study of the Bible, and invites participants to revisit and rethink commonly held beliefs about the perceived heroes and rebels of the biblical narrative.
