The students arrived in Jerusalem on May 23 and gathered for a group dinner. Early on May 24 Prof. Lefkovitz began her class exploring Israeli and Palestinian literature through the culture and history of Jerusalem, with trips to the Temple Mount/Al Haram al-Sharif, the City of David, and Hezekiah’s Water Tunnel. Students read Rutu Modan’s graphic novel Tunnels and segments from the prophetic books of Jeremiah and II Samuel.
