Each student must visit a Jewish synagogue at one time turn the semester for Saturday worship services. The synagogue can be of any Jewish persuasion including: Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist. If you have already attended a particular synagogue, attend one that you have not attended previously. Keep in mind that this is an academic, and not a spiritual activity. Emotional reaction to the services is not the goal, but rather, the intention is to observe Jewish methods of worship and to compare and contrast such observations with the material analyzed during the course. After the visit you will turn in to me a two-page (double-spaced) summary of your experience. Just like discussion responses, your paper can take many different forms. You could, for example, discuss something about the visit that surprised you, or something that supplemented or contradicted the readings and lectures. Be creative.
