Readings for Judaica Session, February 1

Following are the supplemental readings for the class session on Judaica. The material from Ida Huberman’s book (Living Symbols: Symbolism in Jewish Art and Tradition), is meant to be a reference source. (In other words, no need to read the entire book, but glance through the PDF of Chapter 2 before the February 1 lecture, if you have the chance.)

Intro to Jewish Days

What is a Jew

Telushkin Jewish Literacy marriage

Telushkin Jewish Literacy holidays

Huberman Living Symbols (Chapter 2)

American Paradise: The World of the Hudson River School

Please click on “Read Online” to bring up a copy on your computer OR click the “Download” button, to download a PDF for your use (the PDF is too large for me to post on the IPE site). For class, read the article in this catalog titled “The Exaltation of American Landscape Painting” by Oswaldo Rodriguez Roque, pp. 21-48.

Also, please review the attached document, with links to a series of five short illustrated essays on the Metropolitan Museum site:
