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.

Focusing primarily on Mahmoud Darwish’s “In Jerusalem” (2005) and Yehuda Amichai’s “Jerusalem\,” (1992)\, the talk examines how each poet\, from different cultural and historical contexts\, captures the city’s complex combination of spiritual significance and political symbolism. Amichai uses everyday imagery\, like laundry and flags\, to portray Jerusalem as a place of human interaction and shared struggles\, emphasizing the tangible experience of coexistence and division. In contrast\, Darwish’s portrayal is mystical and transcendent\, expressing a sense of spiritual transformation and longing within the city’s sacred space. Through these perspectives\, the talk highlights how Jerusalem is not only a physical location but also a powerful symbol shaped by human dreams and conflicts\, embodying current questions about history and identity. \nThis event is co-presented by Fordham’s Arabic Language Program and the Center for Jewish Studies. Lunch will be served.

Even amidst unimaginable oppression\, his faith served as a wellspring of resilience and strength. \nOur distinguished speakers include Vladimir Kara-Murza\, a prominent Russian dissident and human rights advocate who himself endured imprisonment and continues to champion democracy\, and Serge Schmemann\, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and member of The New York Times editorial board. This conversation will explore faith\, resilience\, and the enduring fight for truth against authoritarianism.
