- Class Notes:
- On October 7th, 2023 a pivotal and traumatic event unfolded, leaving an indelible mark on the Israeli collective consciousness. This incident reverberated through the fabric of Israeli society, eliciting multifaceted reactions and responses. In the aftermath of this event, a surge of literary expressions emerged, profoundly influenced by the prevailing trauma. The historical trajectory of Israel, marked by existential and personal struggles since its inception, has fostered a complex narrative woven with threads of cultural, religious, and secular dynamics. Within this intricate tapestry, the Israeli cultural realm has borne witness to a prolific production of films and literary works, each reflecting the nuanced layers of this distinctive Israeli experience. The interplay of historical traumas and the ongoing tension between religious and secular perspectives has sculpted a unique narrative landscape. Our course endeavors to delve into this rich reservoir of material by engaging with literature in its original Hebrew form and exploring a diverse array of films. Through this exploration, we aim to unravel the intricate layers of the Israeli narrative, gaining insights into the profound impact of historical events on the cultural and artistic expressions of the nation. In this course we will read several stories written by Israel's most prominent authors such as Savyon Liebrecht, Amos Oz, and David Grossman. Some English translation will be provided to be used as scaffolding at home while class activities will be conducted in Hebrew only. We'll watch some Israeli films such as TV series such as "The Bubble" or "Fauda". Students will critique the films and the literary pieces in Hebrew. In addition to reading and discussing literature and films, we'll also spend some time looking into current events shaping Israelis' identity; these will be discussed in class in Hebrew.

Israel Inside Out - course description
Is China's involvement in Israeli economy dangerous to Israeli security? What were the incentives behind the Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat's visit to the Israeli Knesset? Why did the UAE sign a peace agreement with Israel? How has the fear from Iran been a factor behind this agreement? Why did Israel help Syrian civilians? In what way was the US involved in the conflict between Israel and Lebanon in the 80's? What stands behind Sudan's decision to sign a peace contract with Israel?
This course is designed to discuss Israel's external policies with different countries around the world. Diplomacy, politics, economics, science, arts, medicine, and humanitarian aid are just a few of the topics discussed in this course. We will view these topics from different perspectives and discuss how Israelis view them and how the rest of the world does too.
