Travel Course to New York City!!
Jews on the Move: People, Culture and Ideas (CORE 2637)
MWF 10:30a.m. – 2:50 p.m. July 7-July 17 Aviv
One-week of travel to New York City departs Friday, July 18 and returns to Denver Thursday, July 24. Approximate cost of NY Travel = $1500 (includes airfare, ground transportation, housing, food and cultural event tickets).

This course will focus on culture, people and ideas to think about how Jewish lives and communities have changed with the emergence of modernity, particularly in and around New York City. Jews have been characterized as people perpetually on the move, from early biblical stories of exodus and exile to contemporary narratives of global migration and tourism.

We will focus on a specific group and period of time: European Jews and their descendants encountering the modern age of the late 19th, 20th and early 21st centuries in the United States, with a concentrated focus on Jewish New York. We will look at how Jews as a group have constantly ‘traveled’ to adapt traditions to new ideas – sometimes as a survival strategy and sometimes in the hopes of creating new kinds of Jews. To make our course experience even more tangible and meaningful, we will spend a week in New York City exploring the themes, places and people that we are studying.
