SUMMARY:Webinar: Hollis Landauer on American Denominational and Cause Haggadot
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century saw the breakdown of the hegemony of Orthodox Judaism and the rise of more liberal denominations and liturgies\, many of which reflected changes in the broader culture. This lecture will deal with both American denominational Haggadot\, which include those produced by the three major movements—Reform\, Conservative\, and Orthodox—and English-language\, cause-inspired Haggadot produced by liberal Jews. Since Passover is the Festival of Freedom\, the Haggadah has been often used as a vehicle for responses to historical events and connections with special causes related to social justice or specifically with Jewish issues. \nThe talk will explore cause Haggadot that connect with civil rights\, labor\, hunger\, refugees\, and climate change\, and Jewish causes that revolve around Jewish liberation\, women and LGBTQ issues\, the Holocaust\, Soviet Jewry\, Israel-Palestine\, and leftist secularism. \nAbout the Speaker\nHollis Granoff Landauer is a collector of nontraditional Haggadot. She holds a B.A. from Mt. Holyoke\, an M.A. in Near Eastern languages and literatures from UCLA\, and a library degree from Simmons College. After working in libraries for a number of years\, Granoff Landauer opened a design bookstore\, Another Man’s Poison\, in Toronto\, focusing on books on design\, graphics\, and architecture. She has presented about pre-state kibbutz Haggadot and Holocaust-era Haggadot at Fordham in the past.

SUMMARY:Lecture—Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Colonial ambitions spawned imperial attitudes\, theories\, and practices that remain entrenched within botany and across the life sciences. Banu Subramaniam\, an interdisciplinary plant biologist and Luella LaMer Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College\, draws on fields as disparate as queer studies\, Indigenous studies\, and the biological sciences to explore the labyrinthine history of how colonialism transformed rich and complex plant worlds into biological knowledge. \nTheir third book\, Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism (University of Washington Press\, 2024)\, demonstrates how botany’s foundational theories and practices were shaped\nand fortified in the aid of colonial rule and its extractive ambitions. We see how colonizers obliterated plant time’s deep history to create a reductionist system that imposed a Latin-based naming system\, drew on the imagined sex lives of European elites to explain plant sexuality\, and discussed foreign plants like foreign humans. Subramaniam then pivots to imagining a more inclusive and capacious field of botany untethered and decentered from its origins in histories of racism\, slavery\, and colonialism. This vision harnesses the power of feminist and scientific thought to chart a course for more socially just practices of\nexperimental biology.

SUMMARY:Adam Farkas\, “Oral Histories of the Soviet Jewish Diaspora in the US\, 1973 – 1980”
DESCRIPTION:Between 1973 and 1980\, over 65\,000 Soviet Jews\, often referred to as “dropouts\,” immigrated to the United States. While they are often treated as a single demographic group\, these Soviet Jews represented surprising diversity profiles across distinct waves of migration. Studying this population without considering their day-to-day experiences in the Soviet Union and the US misses important divergences in identity transformation\, cultural adaptation\, and assimilation practices. Through detailed oral history analysis\, the presentation examines the cultural adaptations and disparities encountered during their journey\, including education\, cultural dynamics\, political perspectives\, and community building. It investigates how these challenges influenced the immigration experience for Soviet Jewish immigrants in the United States versus their experiences in the Soviet Union. The study also looks at how adaptation to American culture contributed to evolving identities and how the preservation or rejection of Russian and Jewish heritage shaped self-perception. \nAdam Farkas holds a PhD in History from Budapest\, Hungary. After defending his dissertation\, he was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto\, where his research focuses on the oral histories and everyday life of Soviet Jewish émigrés in the 1970s. \nLunch will be served.

SUMMARY:Miyuki Kita\, “Bringing ‘Tikkun Olam’ to the South: New York Jews in the Civil Rights Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Miyuki Kita will examine an unknown\, unacknowledged episode of the commitment of New York Jews to the Civil Rights Movement and its impact outside of New York City. During the summer of 1963\, 16 Queens College students—14 of whom were Jewish—traveled as far as the Prince Edward County\, Virginia\, to tutor local African American children who had not received any formal education since the shutdown of the county’s public schools to avoid the state’s integration order in 1959. These “Freedom Schools” eventually became an important model for Mississippi Freedom Schools in the following year. Additionally\, as a backdrop to the students’ visit to Virginia\, more than 200 students started to serve as tutors and recreational leaders for underprivileged children in South Jamaica\, Queens\, every Saturday in April 1963. In such circumstances emerged Andrew Goodman\, a Queens College student at the time of his death in Mississippi and gave his life to the civil rights movement. \nMiyuki Kita is a Professor of American Studies at the University of Kitakyushu\, Japan. Her studies have focused on antisemitism in the U.S.\, Black-Jewish relations\, and Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University from 2012-2013. She also served as a visiting scholar at Queens College\, City University of New York in 2018-2019. Her works include “Breaking the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’: Jews and the 1945 New York Fair Employment Practices Act\,” in Fruma Mohrer and Ettie Goldwasser eds.\, New York and the American Jewish Communal Experience (New York: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\, 2013) and “Foot Soldier in the Civil Rights Movement: Lynn Goldsmith with SCLC–SCOPE\, Summer 1965\,” Southern JewishHistory\, vol.22\, 2019\, pp.151-188.

SUMMARY:The Anne Golomb Hoffman Memorial Lecture: Ilana Pardes on Ruth: A Migrant’s Tale
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural Anne Golomb Hoffman Memorial Lecture\, founded in memory of Fordham’s long-time faculty Anne Golomb Hoffman\, who passed away in November 2024. The inaugural lecture will be delivered by Dr. Ilana Pardes\, with a response by Karina Hogan. \nThe biblical Ruth has inspired numerous readers from diverse cultural backgrounds across many centuries. In this insightful volume\, Ilana Pardes invites us to marvel at the ever-changing perspectives on Ruth’s foreignness. She explores the rabbis’ lauding of Ruth as an exemplary convert and the Zohar’s insistence that Ruth’s Moabite background is vital to her redemptive powers. In moving to early modern French art\, she looks at pastoral paintings in which Ruth becomes a local gleaner\, holding sheaves in her hands. Pardes concludes with contemporary adaptations in literature\, photography\, and film in which Ruth is admired for being a paradigmatic migrant woman. Ruth’s afterlives not only reveal much about their own times\, but also shine new light on this remarkable ancient tale and point to its enduring significance. In our own era of widespread migration and dislocation\, Ruth remains as relevant as ever. \nAbout the Speakers\nIlana Pardes is the Katharine Cornell Professor of Comparative Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She received her Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of California\, Berkeley in 1990. This fall\, she will be a visiting professor at Princeton University. Her work has focused on the nexus of the Bible\, literature\, and culture\, as well as on questions of gender\, aesthetics\, and hermeneutics. She is the author of Countertraditions in the Bible: A Feminist Approach (Harvard University Press\, 1992)\, The Biography of Ancient Israel: National Narratives in the Bible (University of California Press\, 2000)\, Melville’s Bibles (University of California\, 2008)\, Agnon’s Moonstruck Lovers: The Song of Songs in Israeli Culture (University of Washington Press\, 2013)\, and The Song of Songs: A Biography (Princeton University Press\, 2019). \nKarina Martin Hogan has been a member of the theology department at Fordham University since 2005. Prior to that\, she taught for two years at St. Anselm College in Manchester\, New Hampshire. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in classics from Swarthmore College and a Master of Arts degree and doctorate from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. Most of her research has been on the deuterocanonical or noncanonical literature of early Judaism. She has a particular interest in wisdom literature and apocalyptic literature. Recently\, however\, her research has focused on the book of Ruth in the Old Testament\, approaching it from feminist and contextual perspectives. She is currently the associate chair of the theology department for the Lincoln Center campus. \nAnne Golomb Hoffman was a Professor of English and Modern Hebrew Literature at Fordham. Professor Hoffman published broadly about Hebrew literature and Jewish writing\, gender\, and psychoanalysis. She translated important Hebrew works into English. At Fordham\, she occasionally taught courses in Israeli literature and film as part of the Program in Middle East Studies\, and in 1988\, at Byron Shafer’s suggestion\, she developed and led the annual colloquium in Middle East Studies. In the 1990s\, she created a highly successful annual series at Fordham\, titled the Nostra Aetate Dialogue\, which brought together a Jewish scholar and a Christian scholar to address questions pertinent to Jewish-Catholic reconciliation. She also helped found and enthusiastically led the Jewish Texts Reading Group for many years\, which continues to meet regularly. She was also a special member of the Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine of the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research\, and an accomplished painter.
