LIT 503 Contemporary and Creative Liturgies
This course helps you develop your own skills in conceiving, writing, and executing creative liturgies, partly through critically examining the work of others. Issues of religious and aesthetic taste, judgment, style, and liturgical effectiveness are explored as well as the question of "Jewish authenticity" in the context of contemporary creativity. The assessment vehicle is to create a liturgy yourself for any occasion, and to supply a commentary on that liturgy, sharing your choices and reasoning for every step along the way.
