TLV INTERMEDIATE ARABIC | SPRING 26
Juha's Tale w/ Bashar | 30h
Available Spots
Description
The character of Juha is considered one of the most well-known figures in Arab folk heritage. He shows up in countless anecdotes and stories that use both comedy and wisdom to offer important cultural and moral commentary. At times, he appears clever and critical; at other times, naively comical, which has made his stories a means of indirect social and political criticism. Juha’s tales did not remain confined to the Arab world; they also spread into Persian and Turkish traditions, and some versions reached popular literature in parts of Europe such as Italy. Abbas Mahmoud Al-Aqqad notes in his book “Juha: The Laughing and the Amusing” that Juha is not a single, clearly defined historical figure, but rather a cultural symbol in whom peoples' wisdom, satire, and life experiences accumulated across generations. This course will focus on reading these stories after translating or adapting them from Modern Standard Arabic into Palestinian colloquial Arabic, while explaining the Arab and Islamic cultural symbols found in them. Students will explore Juha’s character in depth and then ask together: Does Juha still exist among us today? And do his stories continue to reflect contemporary social and political realities? *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 15/04 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/04 Full Price Start at - 1500 NIS - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.
