About This Course

This course is designed to provide a survey of Jewish history between Antiquity and the early Medieval period through studying how Rabbinic Judaism emerged to become the normative form of Judaism.

Jewish History I is presented to Darshan Training and conversion students as a free gift from Pluralistic Rabbinical Seminary.

The assignments are based on the requirements for rabbinical students and are for personal enrichment only. Your work will not be submitted or reviewed.
