| Summary |
How has Judaism evolved over the course of three millennia? Why did branches like Orthodox, Reform, and Reconstructionist movements emerge? What does it mean to be a Jew today? Judaism is not only a religious faith but also a set of beliefs, practices, symbols, and institutions. More than that, it's a civilization and culture of a people both diverse and united by a history of exile and perseverance. In 30 lectures, you will explore the storied history, texts, and traditions of one of the world's oldest living religions and civilizations. As an award-winning history professor and an observant Jew, Howard Lupovitch brings a wealth of knowledge to this audio course on Judaism. With the balanced perspective of a scholar, he guides you through its rise, development, and diversification. Through his erudite and engaging lectures, you will also explore the fascinating differences and similarities between Judaism and other Abrahamic faiths. Starting with a general introduction, you'll establish a contextual framework and learn essential vocabulary. Prof. Lupovitch then takes you on a journey through the history of Judaism in three sections: 1. Ancient Israel: Look at the Hebrew Bible, the concept of diaspora, and the origins of Jewish beliefs. 2. Judaism's Emergence as a Way of Life: Learn why Rabbinic Judaism became the religion's dominant form and established the pillars of Jewish customs. 3. Modern Challenges: Study different denominations and labels as well as debates on Jewish identity. Whether your interests lie in history, interreligious understanding, or culture, this course will enlighten and entertain you. |
