JUS 370A - History of the Jews: Modern Jewish History

In this course we will explore the story of the creation of Israel and its later development from the perspective of immigration. We will look at how Israel shifted from a society that nurtured the idea of the “Israeli native”, into a society comprised of multiple identities and different groups that establish surprising alliances as well as unexpected conflicts. As part of our journey, we will investigate the biographies of prominent immigrants that helped shape Israeli society.
