Syllabus and Readings

The Syllabus for the course may be downloaded here (PDF file, revised 1/31/22).

Textbooks for the course may be ordered from Amazon.com.

FALL SEMESTER:

• The Jewish Holidays, by Michael Strassfeld
• “Living a Jewish Life” (LJL) by Anita Diamant

SPRING SEMESTER:

• Jewish History: The Big Picture by Gila Gevirtz

This is actually a textbook for teens based on The History of the Jewish People by Jonathan Sarna and Jonathan Krasner, but I like it best because just so easy to follow and it has lots of pictures.
