Discover the roots and evolution of antisemitism. In this course, we will explore its beginnings in ancient Eastern Mediterranean culture, its institutionalization in early Christian and Islamic societies, and its violent outbreaks throughout the Middle Ages. Delve into the Enlightenment’s mixed legacy, the impact of Nazi ideology, and the rise of modern antisemitism through anti-Zionism. Understand the complexities of current global conflicts and their implications for Jewish identity and statehood. Join us in unpacking these critical themes and issues to better understand their significance in today’s world.
