SUMMARY:CANCELED: Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: ‘Life Is an Eternal Now’
DESCRIPTION:The latest in the Fordham–NYPL Lecture Series features “Life Is an Eternal ‘Now’: Marija Gimbutas\, World War II\, and the Returns of Lithuanian History.” \nMarija Gimbutas (1921–1994) was an influential Lithuanian archaeologist and theorist of Neolithic European religion who taught at Radcliffe and UCLA after arriving in the United States in 1949. \nThis talk will explore Gimbustas’ formation in Europe among ethnographers and romantic nationalists who envisioned—and briefly achieved—an ethno-state during World War II\, when around 95% of Lithuania’s large and long-standing Jewish population was killed. Connecting the various strands of her thought and activism\, Michael Casper\, Ph.D.\, will show how Jewish history and the Holocaust factored into Gimbutas’s influential theories about the Indo-Europeans and religion\, and why\, for her and other Lithuanian émigrés\, the ancient past was more accessible than the Lithuania they left behind.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Jewish Studies Book Club: Eva Mroczek on The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Using familiar sources such as the Psalms\, Ben Sira\, and Jubilees\, Eva Mroczek tells an unfamiliar story about sacred writing not bound in the Bible. In listening to the way ancient writers describe their own literature\, full of their own metaphors and narratives about writing\, The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity also argues for greater suppleness in our own scholarly imagination\, no longer bound by modern canonical and bibliographic assumptions. \nThe Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity was a winner of the 2017 Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise\, the 2017 George A. and Jean S. DeLong Book History Book Prize\, and a finalist for the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award from the Association of Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:What Time is it in Heaven? God’s Time in Ancient Judaism and Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:In this “In Dialogue” joint lecture\, Lynn Kaye\, author of Time in the Babylonian Talmud (Cambridge University Press\, 2018)\, and Sarit Kattan Gribetz\, author of Time and Difference in Rabbinic Judaism (Princeton University Press\, forthcoming)\, engage in a conversation about the ways in which rabbinic texts reflect on God’s time. \nDoes God exist in time? How does God tell time? What is God’s daily schedule? Through a series of surprising sources—at once playful and moving—they will explore how ancient Jews conceived of the divine and why it matters for how we understand Jewish theology.
