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.

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.

(Université Loyola du Congo). \nThe invisibility of the visible other is the expression of a deep anthropological crisis that manifests itself in various ways: the loss of the meaning of life\, the search for identification groups for personal security\, and the notorious disregard for the protection of our common humanity\, leading to disrespect for the laws that govern communities of rational and reasonable beings\, the fierce refusal to encounter another subjectivity that enables us to awaken to ourselves as subjects and moral agents\, and the voluntary destruction of the community in which each human being takes his existential anchorage\, etc. \nThe establishment of a moral community of mutual recognition requires a radical shift from the invisibility of the visible other to the visibility of the socially constructed invisible other. We are always already related to other people. No one exists as an isolated entity (a monad). The “I” is always understood in connection with the “we.” Therefore\, the responsibility of the-one-for-the-other requires us to rediscover the true meaning of the question: Who is my neighbor? Far from being merely a spiritual question\, this question is\, first and foremost\, an ethical one. It means: What is expected of me as a moral individuality open to the light of reason?

Come with a team or on your own and join a group. (Teams can be two or more people.) \nQ: For whom was Arthur Avenue named? (See below for answer.) \nThe above will not be one of the questions posed at the event\, BUT there are lots more to which you can look forward. The trivia challenge\, prizes\, dinner\, beverages\, and we are thrilled to announce that the evening’s host will be NPR’s George Bodarky\, FCRH ’93 (known to many from his days at WFUV). \nThe cost is $50 for dinner (salad\, bread\, choice of one of five entrees\, soda/water\, and dessert\, with a cash bar) and a full night of trivia (three 10-question rounds and a final question\, with some pertinent to Fordham and its surroundings). And\, there will be prizes! \nWhy we charge admission: \nBecause the FCAA raises money to give it away. Each year we award a series of scholarships to students in need and students who have distinguished themselves academically and as individuals who exemplify the Jesuit ideal of “cura personalis.” \nTrivia answer: Arthur Avenue\, the restaurant-rich road in the Bronx\, is named for Chester A. Arthur\, 21st U.S. president. It was so named by Catherine Lorillard Wolfe\, a great-granddaughter of business magnate Pierre Lorillard (whose name also graces the name of a nearby street).
