SIZZLING SUMMER CLASSES: The Best Coast? A History of Jewish Life in the Western United States

SIZZLING SUMMER CLASSES: The Middle East: Transition Turmoil?

In this course we will look at major developments in the region, including the effects of the “Arab Spring” in Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt, the civil war in Syria, Iran’s nuclear program, and the deadlock in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. We will do so both to assess the prospects for progress in the region and the implications for Israel and American foreign policy. Readings will be recommended and the instructor’s forthcoming article, “Leading from Behind: the Obama Doctrine and U.S. Policy in the Middle East,” will be provided by internet posting.

SIZZLING SUMMER CLASSES: Kabbalah for Dummies

Jewish mysticism, or Kabbalah, has been shrouded in mystery and tied in “red strings.” It is, however, simply a way of understanding the relationship between the infinitely incomprehensible (G-d) and the finite universe. In this class, we will study the Kabbalistic understanding of G-d, creation, and the human soul.

SIZZLING SUMMER CLASSES: The Origins of Israel and Its God

This four-part course considers the most mysterious part of Israel's history: the beginning. Where did the tribes of Israel come from and when? Is there evidence for an Exodus from Egypt or a conquest of Canaan? When and how did monotheism emerge, the worship of Yahweh in particular? These questions and more will be tackled in this exciting seminar series.
Instructor: Dr. David Miano
