 and honest understanding of the current situation. The main themes that the course will cover are Jewish presence in the Middle East over the last 3,000 years, the birth and expansion of Islam, Jewish and other minorities under Islamic rule, ancient and modern Zionism, the birth of Israel, and Jewish and Palestinian refugees. In the context of the Middle East, students will discuss the notion of a civil society, individual rights, justice, compassion, truth, and rationality. The course will meet seven times throughout the semester.> > > JS 191F Ishmael and Isaac: One God; Two Brothers; Parallel Stories> Instructors: Susan Moser, Merav Kalfon Mon., 3:35-4:45 p.m. Abraham was the father of both Ishmael and Isaac, the predecessors of the Arab and Jewish peoples. According to the texts, they are brothers; historically they’ve been rivals. Their trials and tribulations have been recorded in the sacred texts: the Hebrew Bible and the Koran. Through a close reading of passages from both
 traditions, we will encounter Abraham, Hagar and Sarah, Ishmael, Isaac and others and examine the defining moments in their lives. In this class we will read, discuss and reenact the historical drama, bring old stories to life and gain new insights into age-old conflicts.> > JS 191J  The Holocaust and other Genocides> Instructor: John Yaun Mon., 6-7:15 p.m.> This course looks at the genocidal actions of the Third Reich during> the Holocaust and compares it to other genocides.
