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.

His art gives visual voice to his personal and collective memories. It is inside ordinary moments where he finds windows into larger meaning. Light\, perspective\, and points in time are the pivotal elements he uses to reveal an interior presence within his subjects as he searches for what he identifies as the Signature of the Spirit. The work of Chester Higgins challenges us to see the full breadth of our humanity. \nThrough his portraits and studies of living rituals\, traditional ceremonies\, and the monuments and ruins of ancient civilizations\, viewers gain a rare insight into cultural behavior—a window to another place and time. \nThese images featured in Butler Gallery were taken in the United States\, Africa\, and the MENA region. \nHiggins was recently honored with his induction into the International Photography Hall of Fame. In 2014 he retired from The New York Times as a staff photographer after 38 years of contributing images to the paper. \nTo contact the Refuge Gallery: refugegallery@fordham.edu.

The “Wartime Beauty” exhibition is a collaboration between the Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery. \nThe Refuge Gallery is open during regular business hours Monday-Thursday. Please ring the institute’s bell to enter the building. Guided tours are available upon request at schapnin@fordham.edu of The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC). \n“Wartime Beauty“\nThe Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC) has unveiled a milestone exhibition\, “Wartime Beauty\,” marking a historic moment for contemporary Christian art from Ukraine. Curated by Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibition presents recent works by Ukrainian iconographers Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\, highlighting unique blend of traditional iconography in a modern context. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration between The Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery and signifies a shared commitment to exploring contemporary interpretations of Christian art and supporting the Ukrainian people in their quest for freedom and independence. At the heart of the exhibition is Mariupol Deisis (2022)\, a striking series of 11 icons from Atlantova and Klymenko’s Icons on Ammo Boxes project. \nChapnin explains\, “Their work departs from certain Byzantine iconographic conventions\, not as a rejection\, but as a bold reimagining of Eastern Orthodox tradition\, reminding us of the enduring desire for beauty that resonates with prayer.” The artists encourage viewers to look beyond the rough\, unrefined wood of the ammo boxes\, signaling that the spiritual authenticity of their work emerges through each viewer’s perception. \nSince its inception amid Ukraine’s struggle in 2014\, Icons on Ammo Boxes has reshaped how sacred art\naddresses themes of suffering and resilience. In a time of conflict\, holy icons—traditional symbols of holiness and the communion of saints in the Orthodox Christian tradition—reflect the fractures of war yet continue to declare the abiding presence of God\, His Holy Mother\, and the Saints alongside human anguish. \n“It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\,” said Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibit’s curator. \nThis exhibition not only celebrates the collaboration between OCSC and The Refuge Gallery but also sets a foundation for future explorations of Christian art in a changing world. Sergei Chapnin noted\, “It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\, as well as audiences in other U.S. cities and universities.” \n  URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/wartime-beauty-at-refuge-gallery/ LOCATION:IIHA Refuge Gallery located on the second floor in Canisius Hall. 2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, NY 10458\, 2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, New York City\, NY\, 10458\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts at Fordham ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/04-3-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs":MAILTO:iiha@fordham.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Puerto_Rico:20250102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Puerto_Rico:20250102T190000 DTSTAMP:20250514T212315 CREATED:20241121T214452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241121T214452Z UID:10007604-1735833600-1735844400@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Alumni Chapter of Puerto Rico: 2024 Winter Break Holiday Party DESCRIPTION:The Alumni Chapter of Puerto Rico invites you to celebrate the holidays with a Christmas and New Year’s reception at Ladi’s San Juan!

The Achievements of Religious Zionist Feminism and the Rabbinic Illiberal Backlash in Israel DESCRIPTION:This lecture is based on the groundbreaking research presented in Holy Rebellion: Religious Feminism and the Transformation of Judaism and Women’s Rights in Israel (Brandeis\, 2024). Co-authors Tanya Zion-Waldoks and Ronit Irshai will delve into the emergence\, achievements\, and challenges of Religious Zionist (Dati) feminism in Israel—one of the most dynamic and influential movements within contemporary Judaism and Israeli feminism. Drawing from sociological\, theological\, cultural\, and legal perspectives\, the lecture will explore the dual narrative shaping this critical moment in Israeli society. On one hand\, it will spotlight the remarkable strides made by Religious Zionist feminists in challenging gender inequities within Orthodox Judaism and Israeli society at large. On the other\, it will analyze the rising illiberal backlash involving rabbinic authorities seeking to reverse these gains. The authors will discuss the pivotal role of Israel’s judiciary—particularly the Supreme Court—in navigating these tensions and will introduce their book’s innovative theoretical frameworks: the “Narrative Ripeness Test” and the “Dignity Test.” They will also address the broader societal dynamics at play within a “Jewish and democratic” society in crisis. This lecture is a must for anyone interested in the complex interplay of religion\, feminism\, law\, and activism in Israel and beyond. \nAbout speakers:\nTanya Zion-Waldoks\, a tenured assistant professor at the Seymour Fox School of Education at Hebrew University\, investigates intersections of gender\, education\, religion\, and politics. She studies feminist activism for social change\, gender equality in education\, and anti-racist activism in Israel. She published in top journals and her recent book\, with Ronit Irshai\, is Holy Rebellion: Religious Feminism and the Transformation of Judaism and Women’s Rights in Israel (Brandeis University Press\, 2024). She previously held a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University\, and her work is supported by the Israel Science Foundation. \nRonit Irshai is an associate professor and the former head of the gender studies\ndepartment at Bar Ilan University in Israel; a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman institute in Jerusalem (For pluralistic Judaism)\, a member in the board of the Reckman center at Bar Ilan University (For women rights) and a member Kolech; – A religious feminist forum. She has been a visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School during the academic year of 2007-2008\, a visiting scholar at the Hadassah Brandeis Institute in fall 2016 and a visiting Professor at Gindal Global University in February 2019 in India. Her work focuses on the judicial and theological intersections between Jewish law (Halakhah) and feminist and gender insights\, from diverse Jewish-denominational perspectives\, but especially from the Orthodox angle. She has written numerous articles and book chapters. Among them articles on halakhah (Jewish Law)\, theology and gender; Fertility and Jewish law; Sexual injuries\, halakhah and Israeli Rabbinical courts; Jewish religious feminism; Jewish feminist theologies and Jewish law and LGBTQ people. Her first book: Fertility and Jewish Law – Feminist Perspectives on Orthodox Responsa Literature was published by Brandeis University Press in 2012. The second book on abortion was published in Hebrew by Magness press\, in 2022 and the third book\, Holy Rebellion\, on Modern-Orthodox Feminism in Israel (together with Dr. Tanya Zion-Waldoks) was published by Brandeis University Press in spring 2024. She also co-edited a Jubilee book in honor of Prof. Tamar Ross.

In this lecture\, geared in particular toward the NYC undergraduate population\, famed historian Mauro Canali (whose classic study\, The Matteotti Murder and Mussolini\, has been recently published in English by Palgrave) will introduce students to his research\, based on the trial records smuggled to London by Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani (1872-1946)\, the lawyer of the Matteotti family\, as soon as it became clear that he\, too\, was a target of the Fascist regime. \nModigliani\, a Jew from Livorno\, was one of the founders of the Italian Socialist Party and of the first Italian union\, and worked to develop and maintain strong ties with union and socialist activists in the US. Modigliani documented that Matteotti was investigating bribes from the American Sinclair Oil Company to the Italian government in exchange for the monopoly to drill on Italian soil and in the Italian colonies. The attorney’s relation to Matteotti\, before the murder and during the trial\, illuminates a complex map of alliances and conflicts between Italy and the United States. \nThis lecture will invite us to apprehend the Matteotti murder as a complex historical event\, seizing the ways in which corruption and social struggles fluctuated between worlds that were politically and ideologically apart\, and rethinking the nexus between edifying political narratives and the race to secure resources. \nAbout Mauro Canali\nMauro Canali is a full professor of contemporary history at the University of Camerino\, Italy\, and a leading scholar of fascism. His extensive research delves into the repressive mechanisms of Mussolini’s regime\, its totalitarian structure\, and its system of informants. Prof. Canali has authored numerous acclaimed works\, including Il delitto Matteotti and Le spie del regime\, earning prestigious awards. He has held a visiting position at Harvard University and regularly contributes to Italian media and historical programming. He has written on the American press and Fascism and researched the role of oil and mineral resources in 20th-century warfare. Among his publications is Mussolini e il petrolio iracheno. L’Italia\, gli interessi petroliferi e le grandi potenze (Mussolini and Iraqi oil: Italy\, oil interests\, and the great powers)\, 2007.

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.
