This three-session virtual course with Idan Peysachovich examines Jerusalem as the spiritual and cultural center of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Through historical analysis, textual study, and exploration of religious traditions, the course investigates how Jerusalem has functioned as a locus of faith, identity, and political power across centuries. Participants will gain a nuanced understanding of the city’s multifaceted significance, the intersections and divergences of the three Abrahamic religions, and Jerusalem’s enduring influence on religious thought, cultural expression, and global history.
