SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Fordham’s Babel: An Exploration of World Languages in the Special Collections”
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, featuring centuries-old books and manuscripts\, explores Western interest in languages. At first\, we try to situate the story of Babel in a non-Western context\, highlighting non-European languages. The exhibit then traces the Renaissance study of languages through the lens of the Bible and its translations and of ancient material relics\, such as obelisks\, coins\, and other remains. We also showcase the tools scholars produced to study languages—for example\, medieval and Renaissance-era grammar books and lexicons. The exhibit ends with a reflection on the impact of language study and classification on the formation of identities and prejudices in the Western world. How did early 20th-century Westerners classify languages and peoples? What does it say about their understanding of nationalities and cultures and their place within a society of their own? \nThe exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio\, Miriam Krakowski\, FCRH ’27\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:“Henna\, Love\, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India”
DESCRIPTION:In 2011\, Siona Benjamin\, an intercultural artist born in India to a Bene Israel Jewish community\, returned to her country of birth on a Fulbright India-US fellowship. During her stay\, she traveled across the country\, conducting research and interviewing Jews in India. “Henna\, Love\, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India” brings to Fordham several pieces from Siona Benjamin’s series of photo-collage paintings\, “Faces: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives.” These pieces serve as anchors that link the present and the past. Around Siona Benjamin’s art are photographs taken by the artist’s parents and family members. In the 1950s\, Siona Benjamin’s parents\, Judah and Sophie Benjamin\, traveled across India photographing synagogues and houses of prayer\, capturing the range and diversity of the Indian Jewish community: from splendid metropolitan synagogues to small rural prayer halls. The cache of photographs in Siona Benjamin’s possession thus documents an aspect of Jewish history\, now threatened by oblivion. \nLike Siona Benjamin’s art\, some of the old family photographs underscore how much the life and culture of Jews in India were very much of India. Henna\, saris\, glass lamps of synagogue lights meld with modern suits and classic fedoras becoming one. Indian and Jewish\, traditional and modern–all form a distinct Indian Jewish identity. \nThe exhibit was made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Jewish Art Fund at Fordham University and was curated by Amy Levine-Kennedy\, Mallory Roof FCRH ‘26\, and Magda Teter. It will be on view from January 30 until March 28\, 2025 in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room on the 4th floor of the Walsh Family Library.

SUMMARY:Trial Stories in Ancient Judaism
DESCRIPTION:The image of the lofty and impartial judge is rooted in biblical and ancient texts; God is often depicted as the ultimate judge on high that human judges must emulate. But in these same collections of texts\, we find counternarratives that challenge this view of judges\, acknowledging their limitations. They are humans with a place in the social and material world\, which comes inescapable relational and emotional entanglements. This talk will explore one trial story in the Babylonian Talmud that leaves us with a new image of the judge: not aloof and impartial\, not biased and corrupt\, but caught somewhere in between. It will end by considering what we can do with this compromised image of justice. \nChaya Halberstam is a professor of Hebrew Bible and Judaism in the department of Religious Studies at King’s University College at the University of Western Ontario. Her research focuses on the legal cultures of Israelite and Jewish antiquity\, with an emphasis on early rabbinic literature. Her work explores the role of legal discourse in shaping cultural attitudes and practices—and its limits. Her first book\, Law and Truth in Biblical and Rabbinic Literature\, came out in 2010 and received the Salo Baron prize for best first book in Jewish studies. Her most recent book\, Trial Stories in Jewish Antiquity: Counternarratives of Justice\, came out in 2024 with Oxford University Press.
