SUMMARY:Exhibition: Banned! A History of Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Books\, libraries\, librarians\, and writers are subject to attacks—again. Recent bans of books across the United States targeting Black history\, the Holocaust\, and LGBTQ themes have dominated the news. But book censorship has a longer history. “Banned! A History of Censorship” explores this history\, along with practices of censorship\, the methods to control and ban books and ideas\, the resilience of censored works\, and attempts to push back. \nAs the Talmud says\, “The parchment is burning\, but its letters are flying to the heavens.” Authorities could ban books\, but they could not destroy them or the ideas contained in them entirely. Indeed\, while today some voices are heard complaining about universities not teaching major texts of “Western civilization\,” many of these books were originally banned across Europe—by Protestant and Catholic authorities: Thomas Hobbes\, John Locke\, David Hume\, Denis Diderot\, Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, John Stuart Mill\, Immanuel Kant\, and more. Major works of literature—cherished today—were also banned\, among them Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables or Alexander Dumas’s Three Musketeers\, which were on “Index Librorum Prohibitorum\,” or the Index of Prohibited Books. \nAs this exhibit demonstrates\, cultural\, religious\, and moral values are never static. They change over time. If some of the books and ideas become acceptable\, others might become abhorrent. Because Fordham as a Catholic and Jesuit university was obliged to abide by the Index of Prohibited Books until its abolition in 1966\, the exhibit also explores how Fordham dealt with books that were included in the Index. \nThe exhibit is on view at the Walsh Family Library in the main exhibition hall on the first floor and in the Special Collections on the fourth floor. \nThe exhibit is a collaboration between Fordham University’s Walsh Family Library—especially its O’Hare Special Collections—and the Center for Jewish Studies. It was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio; Amy Levine-Kennedy; Hannorah Ragusa\, FCRH ’26; and Magda Teter. Vivian Shen at the special collections and archives set up the exhibit with great care and attention to detail. Additional research has been provided by Samantha Sclafani\, FCLC ’22\, and Kevin Bogucki\, FCLC ’23. The lecture series and student research associated with the exhibit have been made possible through the generosity of donors to the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham.

SUMMARY:'The Light of the Revival: Stained-Glass Design for Restituted Synagogues of Ukraine' by Eugeny Kotlyar
DESCRIPTION:An opening reception will be held on September 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. \nThe exhibition offers a broad perspective on the revival of Ukrainian synagogues after Ukraine’s independence\, showcasing three sets of stained-glass windows that were designed by Eugeny Kotlyar and partially implemented in Ukrainian synagogues from 1995 to 2005. Two early works shown here were the first samples of stained-glass designs for modern Ukrainian synagogues\, which set a new trend. \nThe first of them\, stained-glass windows for the Kharkiv Choral Synagogue (1995)\, is on the theme of Jewish holidays. The second project—an ensemble of stained-glass windows for the Kyiv synagogue in Podil (2002)—focuses on the holy places of the land of Israel and the tribes of Israel. The third work\, Jerusalem and the Tribes of Israel\, is a part of the original design of the Torah Ark itself in the Galitska synagogue in Kyiv (2005). In Kotlyar’s artistic vision\, the stained-glass window projects the light\, turns the metaphysical into the physical\, materializes the speculative image\, and\, ultimately\, fills the prayer with color and light. \nThis exhibition is made possible thanks to the generosity of Fordham Trustee Henry S. Miller\, Bruce Beal\, Eugene Shvidler\, GABELLI ’92\, and anonymous donors to the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham.

SUMMARY:Holy Cow: Religion\, Race\, and Milk in Lancaster County\, Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:In the past 15 years\, Lancaster County has increasingly become a thriving hub for Orthodox Jewish tourists seeking “kosher” leisure activities\, including encounters with the Amish tourist industry. The expanding Orthodox Jewish tourist infrastructure has developed in tandem with an unexpected economic collaboration between some ultra-Orthodox Jews and local Amish and Mennonite farmers to produce unpasteurized kosher dairy products. Based on anthropological research with Orthodox Jewish tourists\, dairy entrepreneurs\, and local Amish/Mennonite farmers\, Feldman and Fader show that kosher collaborations around milk\, in particular\, offer a lens to think through contemporary American racialized politics and minority religious identities in our\npost-COVID-19 and post-Trump realities. \nAbout the Speakers\nRachel Feldman is a cultural anthropologist and currently an assistant professor of religious studies/Judaic studies at Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania. Starting on July 1\, she will be moving to Dartmouth College and will be joining the Department of Religion. Feldman is the author of Messianic Zionism in the Digital Age: Jews\, Noahides\, and the Third Temple Imaginary\, a book that is forthcoming from Rutgers University Press and was recently awarded the Jordan Schnitzer first book prize by the AJS. She is also the co-editor of Settler-Indigeneity in the West Bank\, a volume that will be available in July from McGill-Queen’s University Press. \nAyala Fader is a professor of anthropology at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning books Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn (2009) and Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age (2020). Fader’s research\, supported by prestigious fellowships from the NSF and the NEH\, appears in academic journals and more public venues. Fader is the co-founder of the Seminar on Jewish Orthodoxies at Fordham\, is on the steering committee of the Haredi Research Group\, and is a fellow at the American Academy for Jewish Research. As the director of Fordham’s New York Center for Public Anthropology\, Fader is currently collaborating on the Demystifying Language Project\, which works to make linguistic anthropology a social justice resource for public high schools. \nCo-sponsored by the Seminar on Jewish Orthodoxies and the Haredi Research Group.

SUMMARY:'Progressive Jewish Culture in Argentina and South America: An Ethno-Political Identity (1937-1991)'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this lecture by Saba Nerina Visacovsky\, part of the Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series. \nThe progressive Jewish movement in Argentina and South America was formed in the heat of the slogans and transnational initiatives of the popular front and its call for unity to fight fascism and anti-Semitism\, and in defense of the Yiddish culture. The creation of the Yidisher Kultur Farband Federation (YKUF) during the Congress of Jewish Culture held in Paris in 1937\, and its replica in Buenos Aires in 1941 (ICUF)\, embodied this atmosphere. The YKUF/ICUF brought together the existing pro-Soviet secular Jewish institutions and collaborated to create new ones. The new federation provided them with a political-ideological framework for their representation in the Jewish street and in their relationship with the Communist Party. This lecture aims to present the progressive Jewish identity in Argentina and refer briefly to the impact of the YKUF in South American countries. \nThis is a hybrid event; please register for forthcoming details about the location. \nAbout the Speaker\nNerina Visacovsky holds a Ph.D. from the Philosophy and Literature Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires\, Argentina. She is a researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (Conicet)\, a professor of politics and government at the School of the National University of San Martín\, and director of the Pinie Katz Documentation Center and Library (Cedob) from the ICUF. She has written several articles for national and international journals. Among her books are Argentinos judíos y camaradas: tras la utopía socialista (2015) and La tribuna icufista: tiempo de aportes (2021).

SUMMARY:Amy Weiss on Realigning Faith: American Jews\, Protestants\, and Israel 1945–2020
DESCRIPTION:In 1977\, the American Jewish Committee awarded Billy Graham its first National Interreligious Award in recognition of the evangelist’s support of Israel and endorsement of interfaith relations. While bestowing the award upon an evangelical—and not a mainline Protestant or Catholic—made sense to the AJC\, not all Jewish communal organizations or American Jews understood this decision. This talk examines the shifting alliances the AJC and other communal organizations forged with evangelicals in the late 20th century and how these alliances revealed the role of Israel in Jewish-Protestant relations. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmy Weiss holds the Maurice Greenberg Chair of Judaic Studies and is an assistant professor of Judaic studies and history at the University of Hartford. During the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is also a faculty fellow in ethnic studies for the University of Hartford’s Center for the Humanities and a Center for Jewish History-Fordham University Research Fellow. She previously held the Thomas and Elissa Ellant Katz Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania’s Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. Her research and publications focus on the intersections of American Jewish history\, Israeli culture\, and Jewish-Protestant relations. She is currently writing a book manuscript on the evolving relationships American Jewish communal organizations have forged with evangelicals on issues relating to Israel. Most recently\, her articles have appeared in the journals American Jewish History\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, and Israel Studies. Her work has also appeared in the edited volumes Armed Jews in the Americas\, Teaching the Arab-Israeli Conflict in the College Classroom\, and Minhagim: Custom and Practice in Jewish Life. Weiss received her Ph.D. from the departments of Hebrew and Judaic studies and history at New York University. \nThis hybrid lecture is part of the joint research fellowship at the Center for Jewish History and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:David Myers and Nomi Stolzenberg on American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid book talk in conversation with Abner Green. \nPublic attention in recent months has focused on the large Hasidic community in the New York area and the interplay of politics\, state funding\, and educational standards. This talk will focus on one of the largest and most interesting examples\, Kiryas Joel\, a legally recognized municipality in suburban New York made up exclusively of Satmar Hasidic Jews. How did the community come into being? How\, and why\, did it secure recognition as a municipality? What part has education played in its history? And where is this rapidly growing community heading? \nAbout the Speakers\nNomi M. Stolzenberg holds the Nathan and Lilly Shapell Chair at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. She is a legal scholar whose research spans a range of interdisciplinary interests\, including law and religion\, law and liberalism\, law and feminism\, law and psychoanalysis\, and law and literature. After getting her J.D. at Harvard Law School in 1987 and clerking for the Honorable John Gibbons\, chief judge of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals\, she joined the faculty at the USC Gould School in 1988. There\, she helped establish the USC Center for Law\, History\, and Culture\, one of the preeminent centers for the study of law and the humanities. She is the co-author with David N. Myers of American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York (Princeton\, 2022) and the author of numerous articles on law and religion\, including the widely cited “He Drew a Circle That Shut Me Out: Assimilation\, Indoctrination\, and the Paradox of a Liberal Education\,” published in the Harvard Law Review; “Righting the Relationship Between Race and Religion in Law;” and “The Return of Religion: Legal Secularism’s Rise and Fall and Possible Resurrection.” She is spending the 2022-2023 academic year as a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and as a fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, where she will be working on a new project on religious exemptions and the theory of “faith-based discrimination.” \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor of history and holds the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA\, where he serves as the director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. He also directs the new UCLA Initiative to Study Hate. He is the author or editor of more than 15 books in the field of Jewish history\, including American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York (Princeton\, 2022) with Nomi Stolzenberg. Myers also serves as president of the New Israel Fund. \nAbner Greene is the Leonard F. Manning Professor of Law. He specializes in administrative and regulatory law\, constitutional law\, freedom of speech and the press\, law and philosophy\, religion and the law\, and the U.S. Supreme Court. \nThis event is co-sponsored with Fordham Law School. \n(For 30% off American Shtetl from the Princeton University Press website\, use code “SHTL” before June 20.)

SUMMARY:'Futures Not Yet: Jewish Exiles\, Black Politics'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid lecture from Jana Schmidt\, part of the Fordham-NYPL lecture series. \nIn the late 1930s and early 1940s\, a small contingent of Jewish German refugees received asylum in the United States to find that the flame of democracy had been a sword to some. As African American publications across the country had not failed to observe\, there were parallels between racial segregation practices and the Nuremberg Laws.

SUMMARY:Remembering: Talking About the Holocaust in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Fordham University and the Under-Told Stories Project of the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota\, in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York\, invite you to a special observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. \nRecent surveys have shown steadily diminishing public awareness of the Holocaust amid a rise in disinformation and revisionism. This panel of leading thinkers will discuss how media\, educators\, religious institutions\, and governments can fight Holocaust denial and deepen understanding of the genocide. What is the role of allies? \nThe discussion will begin with a screening of Fred de Sam Lazaro’s 2022 PBS NewsHour segment on the children’s book Nicky & Vera: A Quiet Hero of the Holocaust and the Children He Rescued. Written and illustrated by Peter Sís\, it tells the story of Nicholas Winton\, the “British Schindler\,” who helped 669 children escape Czechoslovakia just before Nazi occupation. \nThe panelists will delve into the conditions that allowed the ripening and spread of antisemitism in the years leading up to the Holocaust\, and they will bring home the relevance of those circumstances today. \nModerators \n\nFred de Sam Lazaro\, correspondent/director\, The Under-Told Stories Project\nPeter Osnos\, founder\, PublicAffairs Books\n\nPanelists \n\nJudy Woodruff\, anchor\, PBS NewsHour\nMagda Teter\, Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies\, Fordham University\nJames Loeffler\, Jay Berkowitz Professor of Jewish History\, University of Virginia\nLinda Kinstler\, author\, Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends\n\nSpecial Guest: Eva Paddock\, Educator and One of “Winton’s Children” Rescued from Czechoslovakia on the Eve of World War II \nA reception will follow the discussion at 7 p.m.

SUMMARY:From HIV/AIDS Epidemic to Pride Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Liturgical Cultural Transformations in Progressive Judaism: A Conversation Between Elazar Ben Lulu and Deborah Megdal \nWhen the AIDS epidemic hit the United States\, the American Reform Jewish community was the only formal Jewish institution to respond\, advocating an open discussion about congregants who lived with HIV or had AIDS. In 1985\, the General Assembly of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) passed a historic resolution calling to abolish discrimination against HIV positive people. Elazar Ben Lulu and Deborah Megdal will discuss liturgical and cultural transformations that arose from the HIV/AIDS crisis—from the new needs for personal and social mourning that resulted in the recognition and inclusion of the American gay Jewish community\, to lasting effects\, such as the creation of LGBTQ congregations\, Pride Shabbat celebrations\, and more. \nAbout the Speakers \nElazar Ben Lulu holds a Ph.D. in social and cultural anthropology. As an anthropologist of religion and gender\, he is particularly interested in the intersection of LGBTQ identities and Judaism. His Ph.D. dissertation examines religious rituals in Israeli Reform Jewish congregations and demonstrates how rituals become political performances that affirm and empower gender and sexual minorities previously excluded from Jewish liturgy and the Jewish community. He is the recipient of the Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award from the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies\, Columbia University\, and Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Azrieli Center for Israel Studies at The Ben-Gurion Research Institute for the Study of Israel and Zionism at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. \nDeborah Megdal holds a J.D. from Yale Law School\, where she was managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism and worked on an amicus brief to the Ninth Circuit in the case that legalized same-sex marriage in California—the case which became Hollingsworth v. Perry before the U.S. Supreme Court. She also worked in impact litigation at Lambda Legal; researched gender in the military; and in family law\, helped low-income clients struggling with issues of domestic violence and child custody. She is currently a rising fifth-year rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York\, and the senior Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinical intern at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah (CBST)\, which was founded in 1973\, and welcomes gay men\, lesbians\, bisexuals\, transgender\, queer\, and straight individuals and families who share common values. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Epidemic and the Marginalized of Society: A View from the Jewish Past
DESCRIPTION:During times of pandemic\, societies often seek a scapegoat—sometimes in a foreign enemy\, sometimes among their own marginalized groups. In 19th century Eastern Europe\, a peculiar magical ritual emerged in which Jewish communities married their most vulnerable and marginalized members—orphans\, beggars\, and people with physical and cognitive disabilities—to each other in a wedding held in the town cemetery. What was the meaning of this ritual? Why was a wedding in a cemetery considered an efficacious remedy for cholera and other diseases? This talk considers whether Jewish society’s outcasts served as a scapegoat during times of catastrophe such as epidemics. \nNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies in the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of East European Jewry\, he is the author of Kiev\, Jewish Metropolis: A History\, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute\, Disabled\, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe\, 1800-1939 (forthcoming in August 2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. \nAll Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free. This event will be a webinar via Zoom. Link will be sent 1-2 days prior. \nQuestions? Contact:\nFordham Jewish Studies\njewishstudies@fordham.edu \n718-817-3929

SUMMARY:Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation between Ayala Fader and Robert Orsi on the digital book launch of Fader’s Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age (Princeton University Press\, 2020). In stories of conflicts between faith and self-fulfillment\, Hidden Heretics explores the moral compromises and divided loyalties of individuals facing life-altering crossroads. This is a revealing look at Jewish men and women who secretly explore the outside world\, in person and online\, while remaining in their ultra-Orthodox religious communities. \nWhat would you do if you questioned your religious faith\, but revealing that would cause you to lose your family and the only way of life you had ever known? Hidden Heretics tells the fascinating\, often heart-wrenching stories of married ultra-Orthodox Jewish men and women in 21st century New York who lead “double lives” in order to protect those they love. While they no longer believe that God gave the Torah to Jews at Mount Sinai\, these hidden heretics continue to live in their families and religious communities\, even as they surreptitiously break Jewish commandments and explore forbidden secular worlds in person and online. Drawing on five years of fieldwork with those living double lives and the rabbis\, life coaches\, and religious therapists who minister to\, advise\, and sometimes excommunicate them\, Fader investigates religious doubt and social change in the digital age. \nAyala Fader received her Ph.D. from New York University and is currently a professor of anthropology at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning book Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn (Princeton 2009). Her recent fellowships include the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of her latest book\, Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age (Princeton\, 2020). Fader is the co-founder and co-convener of the New York Working Group on Jewish Orthodoxies at Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies. \nRobert Orsi is the Grace Craddock Nagle Chair of Catholic Studies at Northwestern University\, where he is also professor of religious studies\, history\, and American studies. Professor Orsi studies modern and contemporary religion\, with a special focus on Catholic practices and ideas\, from both historical and ethnographic perspectives. He also researches and writes on theory and method in the study of religion. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been a recipient of fellowships from the NEH and the Guggenheim Foundation. His books include\, The Madonna of 115th Street: Faith and Community in Italian Harlem\, 1880-1959; Thank You\, Saint Jude: Women’s Devotion to the Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes; and Between Heaven and Earth: The Religious Worlds People Make and the Scholars Who Study Them. His most recent book is History and Presence (2016\, Belknap Imprint of Harvard University Press). \nAll Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free. This event will be a webinar via Zoom. Link will sent 1-2 days prior. \nQuestions? Contact:\nFordham Jewish Studies\njewishstudies@fordham.edu \n718-817-3929

SUMMARY:Arresting Tales: Law and Morality in Modern Jewish Literature
DESCRIPTION:Arresting Tales: Law and Morality in Modern Jewish Literature will straddle two seemingly unrelated phenomena in Jewish history: the encounter of Polish Jews with the concept of state law and the birth of modern Jewish literature in Eastern Europe. Drawing on newly discovered documents\, legal texts\, poems\, and plays\, Dynes will reflect on the experience of a generation of Jews who\, in the wake of Poland’s partitions (1773–1795)\, experienced the shift from living under Polish feudal-like rule to being subject to an imperial state and its laws. Dynes will explain how literature then emerged as a means to popularize strategic knowledge about the law\, extract new forms of political experience\, and reflect on the relationship between the legal and the moral. The Emerging Voices in Jewish Studies Award is presented jointly by Fordham University’s Jewish Studies program and Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies to promising young scholars who are treading new paths in Jewish studies.
