The Creation of a Nation

This course traces the development of the nascent Israelite nation from slavery to freedom, from serving Pharaoh to serving God. Through a close reading of the book of Shemot (Exodus), we delve into the central story of the Jewish people, discover how the Israelites respond to the new opportunities and responsibilities that come with freedom, and explore the origins and meaning of Passover with the goal of enriching our celebrations today.
