The Jewish Studies Program serves to provide a multi-disciplinary focal
point for the various courses in Jewish history, religion, literature, and
culture that are given at Dartmouth as well as to sponsor special course
offerings (including those by the annual Brownstone Lecturer) and a variety of
academic activities related to the discipline. The program currently offers a
minor.
Jewish Studies Minor
The minor is designed to offer a general introduction to the historical and
cultural experience of Jews throughout the world, and to Jewish thought,
literature, and contemporary political and social issues. At the same time, it
provides the opportunity for students who wish to do more intensive work in a
single discipline. Those completing the minor are encouraged, but not required,
to obtain at least a working knowledge of Hebrew (Hebrew 3, or equivalent).
Requirements
A total of six courses, which must include:
Two Introductory courses
JWST4/REL4 Religion of Israel: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) or
JWST6/REL6 Introduction to Judaism
and
JWST10/HIST94.8 History and Culture of the Jews I: The Classical
Period or
JWST11/HIST94.9 History and Culture of the Jews II: The Modern
Period
One course in Literature, Language and Culture of the Jewish People
Three courses chosen from the other course
offerings in the program, selected in consultation with the
advisor.
