This article presents an overview of recent tendencies in Latin
American Jewish Studies (hereafter LAJS). Two major developments will be
surveyed. One is the growth of resources for research; these include new
publications, reissues and translations of previously difficult-to-access
texts, and scholarly associations and other means of main taining
contact between researchers with similar concerns. These developments are
especially significant since faculty researching and teaching LAJS have
often been hindered by the difficulty of gaining access to information
and teaching resources.
Beyond making material available, LAJS researchers have been bringing
their own activities more clearly into focus. Scholars have made
efforts to identify the direction LAJS is taking and to suggest future
directions.

Geoffrey Claussen provides an in-depth discussion of his Jewish Traditions course, taught at Elon University. The course begins with an experiential learning exercise in which students eat honey cake while they read a fourteenth-century account of Jewish boys consuming honey (and other sweet delicacies) while studying Torah for the first time. Claussen outlines the course's learning outcomes, which include students developing awareness of the complexity and diversity of Jewish cultures, learning diverse ways in which Jews have related to non-Jewish communities, and (as the course is a part of Elon's Women's/Gender Studies program) recognizing the importance of gender for understanding the Jewish tradition and people. The course focuses on major aspects of Jewish thought and practice, giving particular attention to influential classical Jewish texts and modern responses to those texts. An abridged syllabus is provided.
