Leaving the US approx. May 14.
Available for 1-3 credits; may qualify for Continuing Education Credits. Open to Students and community. (non-students may register for UW credits as non-matriculants).
This travel-course introduces the religions, history and contemporary dynamics of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and visits historic and sacred sites in Jerusalem, Galilee, the Center and southern parts of the country. Visits and lectures by UW’s Seth Ward analyze the origins and development of three major religions that arose in the Middle East: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as well as traditions such as Baha’I and Druze. We plan to participate in the celebration of King David’s Yahrtzeit, dance at the Western Wall, visit the Mt. of Olives on Ascension Thursday, when Christians mark the ascension of Jesus, and visit the mosque built by the chieftain who kept Napoleon Bonaparte from conquering the Holy Land. Two weeks of travel. An optional third week is planned (at extra cost) to visit more historic, cultural, and tourist sites, in the past including Petra and the traditional location of Mount Sinai, and free time.
