דיוקנו של היהודי בטקסטים הספרותיים הכלולים בתכנית הלימודים העכשווית לבגרות בעברית עבור תלמידי החטיבה העליונה במגזר הערבי

The Hebrew Literature matriculation curriculum for the Arab sector was approved by the Minister of Education and Culture in March 1975 and was published in September 1975. It is abiding and binding to this very day. Alongside the initial declared objectives that are associated with the discipline, such as the usefulness of the Hebrew language and the esthetics of the literature, the curriculum also includes declared ideological, social and civil objectives such as "Getting to know the essence of the cultural heritage of the Jewish people" and "Showing consideration for social and cultural sensitivities". The central research hypothesis, which is grounded in a broad theoretical basis, contends that the literature curriculum does indeed possess the power to accomplish the above-mentioned social objectives. The aim of the research is to examine how and in what aspects the corpus of literary works in Hebrew in the curriculum serves as a source of constructing a profile of the Jew in all eras. To this end, we relate to the works that directly concern the image of the Jew, the Jewish narrative, and the relations that are depicted between the Arab and the Jew as individuals and as the representatives of different cultures and traditions. The study employs mixed qualitative content analysis tools.
