This course explores the rich literature of the Jewish communities of the English-speaking world. Readings will be
drawn primarily from auto (or semi-auto) biographical sources, however some fiction will also be included. Both
readings and discussions will focus on the experience of the Jewish peoples, being a people in the world, and the
value of that experience to their non-Jewish neighbors.
