Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the study
of Jewish civilization throughout the world. Globally, over 1,300
universities and colleges offer courses on some aspect of Jewish
civilization. Some universities in areas which had little contact
with Jewish heritage, such as the former Soviet Union, the Pacific
Rim, and Africa, are increasingly introducing such studies into
their course offerings.
This volume addresses the challenge of developing courses of
study about Jewish civilizations appropriate for different peoples
in many parts of the world at the same time. The more than 60
selections cover a broad range of conceptual, historical, thematic,
pedagogic, and administrative areas and address the basic issues
which confront university Jewish civilization studies. Such
concerns as the incorporation of Jewish studies into general
disciplines, the re-introduction of Jewish civilization studies
into non- Western organizational university structures, and the
place of Israeli universities in serving an ever-increasing number
of universities abroad are addressed as the contributors elucidate
the objectives, progress, achievements, and still unfulfilled goals
of these programs. Of special utility is a world register of Jewish
studies programs which provides a comprehensive global profile of
institutions engaged in teaching Jewish history and
civilization.
