UNCC’s Office of Continu
ing Education and Extension
and the Jewish Community
Center will cosponsor three
six-week study groups this
fall. The classes will be held
at the Jewish Community
Center. A discount is
available for JCC Members.
“Israel: In Pursuit of
Peace?” will be led by Dr.
Gerald Ingalls, Associate
Professor, Department of
Kjeography. This group will
^‘meet onWednesdays from 7-9
^'p.m., beginning September
^115 and ending October 20.
. A durable peace along
Israel’s frontier has proven
elusive, seemingly unat
tainable. This course will ex
plore the issues which have
impeded the pursuit of peace
for Israel: a desire for secure
borders, the changing com
position of Israeli society,
the effect of a multi-party
political system, Palestinian
refugees, the PLO, strife in
Lebanon, roles of the super
powers, and the disposition
of territories captured by
Israel in 1968. Dr. Ingalls has
traveled and lectured in
Israel and recently presented
a paper on voting on Israeli
issues in the U.N. at a con
ference in Haifa.
‘The Jewish Experience
in America: A Literary
Perspective” will be led by
Dr. Jay Jacobi, Assistant
Professor, Department of
English. There will be two
six-week sessions, both to be
held on Sunday nights from
7-9 p.m. Session I
-September 12, 19, Oct. 3-24;
Session II - October 31,
November 7, 14, 21,
,December 5,12.
It is impossible to know
modern American literature
without seriously consider
ing the work of Jewish
authors. In their quest for
values in a confusing and
confused age, Jewish-
American writers have made
distinctive contributions to
contemporary culture in the
United States. Such writers
as Bellow, Malamud, Roth,
Singer and Potok are finding
a national readership rather
than the largely ethnic au
dience for which their
predecessors had to settle.
Critic Irving Malin explains:
“It is not so much that the
Jew has caught up with
America. America has at
long last caught up with the
Jew. His search for identity
is its search. Its quest for
spiritual meaning is his
quest.” Many of the peren
nial concerns of Jewish
writers, concerns which were
once considered parochial,
are now universal. In Series
I we will focus on a sense of
marginality or alienation
which serves, even more
than religion, as a common
bond for nearly all Jewish
writers and explore the ef
fects of this on their works.
Stories by Singer, Malamud,
Cahan, Wiesel, Bellow and
others will be explored.
Series II will focus on the
family and the theme of
generational conflict, the
struggles betweenrents and
children. The family in con
temporary society, some
say, is an endangered m-
stitution; this concern
always has been central to
the Jewish literary imagina
tion. Read and discussed will
be works by Potok. Bellow,
Malamud. Roth. Kaplan and
others.
The fees for these study
groups are: $35.00 - JCC
Members; $50.00 Non-
Members.
