• Relationships of Jews and non-Jews
• Israel
• Jew’s positioning in authority (women or men)
The first topic I find interesting is “relationships of Jews and non-Jews.” I personally like this one because I am not Jewish. I know there are overlaps between my faith and Judaism, but it would be really cool to get a more in depth look at what the overall relationships are between various non-Jews and Jews. The second topic I find interesting is “Israel.” So much has happen in over a year’s time in Israel, and I feel that I am not educated enough on Israel like I should be. It is a very important country to Jews, and since I am now taking this class and have taken Holocaust in Cinema, I feel that it is appropriate for me to become more educated about Israel. The third topics I am interested in is “Jew’s positioning in authority.” In all honesty, I am unsure where this topic would even begin, so to me that makes it fascinating. I’m guessing it will relate to gender roles in relation to authoritative positions, and I feel that it relates perfectly into the themes of this course.
