Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most important manuscript finds ever. They provide new insights in ancient Jewish literature from Hellenistic times - a literature was lost for millenia. The Dead Sea Scrolls document thus a period in the cultural history of Judaism in which the roots of Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity grew. Accordingly, the topics of law/halakha and eschatology/messianism play a crucial role in many of them.Chief Rabbi Arie Folger will contribute to those classes of the course that will engage with halakhic questions.
Assessment and permitted materials
Presentation, final term paper, active and regular partipation as well as thoroughly prepared translations of the Hebrew texts.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
In this class, we will read selected Dead Sea Scrolls in the original Hebrew and interpret them. Some of these Dead Sea Scrolls we will read in photographs of the manuscripts themselves.
