JewishU: A History of Jewish Immigration Accredited by American Jewish University In this class, students will explore the idea of immigration as a Jewish narrative. Beginning with the more well-known instances of moving from one place to another—Abraham and Sarah’s journey and the Exodus from Egypt—students will explore what logistics, emotions, joys, and struggles go into transitioning to a new place. They will learn about the first Jewish communities in the United States and explore immigration from Europe to the United States in the 1900s, including the waves of Aliyah to Israel, emigration from Ethiopia, Russia, and Iran, and immigration to countries in Asia.
