SUMMARY:Lecture: “The Tangibility of the Secret: A Mystical View of the Senses”
DESCRIPTION:This discussion from Anna Sierka on kabbalistic traditions about the senses will turn to the Christian phrase\, noli me tangere (“do not touch me” in Latin)\, which plays on the touching and absence of any touching in the resurrection of Christ\, and thus engaging both touch and sight. The tactile sense will be explored in this inquiry through various sources\, including palmistry manuals (touching the parchment)\, the text known as Shiʻur Qomah (“The Measure of the Height [of the divine body]”)\, and other kabbalistic texts about marital relations. \nAnna Sierka earned her Ph.D. at the University of Munich with a doctoral dissertation focusing on the adaptation of divine chariot (merkavah) imagery from medieval Ashkenazi esoteric sources in Lurianic Kabbalah. She has been a Golda Meir Postdoctoral Fellow and a Minerva Fellow in the Department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, a Harry Starr Fellow in Judaica at the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard\, and a Koret Fellow at Tel Aviv University. Her articles have appeared in leading journals including Kabbalah: Journal for the Study of Jewish Mystical Texts\, The Journal of Religion\, and Harvard Theological Review. Her research explores shifts in esoteric and kabbalistic doctrines\, their philosophical inspirations\, and bifurcated anchoring detectable in other domains of knowledge\, for instance medicine and astronomy\, as well as in folk culture.

SUMMARY:Rabbi Vanessa Ochs\, “A Living Tradition: Jewish Ritual Responses to COVID and October 7th”
DESCRIPTION:It seems as if it happened “overnight\,” when during the COVID quarantine\, Jewish practices were mostly shifted to virtual platforms or were held in environments providing for social distance. Likewise\, only days after October 7\, 2023\, new Jewish practices emerged to mark concern for the hostages\, including installing “empty Shabbat tables” worldwide and wearing “Bring them Home-Now!” dog tags. \nOchs\, an ethnographer of Jewish practice who focuses on material culture and takes a lived-religion approach\, will be discussing what these newest Jewish ritual practices have in common\, including spontaneity\, resilience\, and collectivity. \nRabbi Vanessa Ochs\, Ph.D.\, is Professor Emerita in the UVA Department of Religious Studies and Jewish Studies Program. In 2023–2024\, she was the Rabbi Sally Priesand Visiting Professor at the HUC/JIR Rabbinical Schools. Her books include The Passover Haggadah: A Biography (Princeton University Press) and Inventing Jewish Ritual (JPS).

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Rachel Gordan on Postwar Stories: How Books Made Judaism American
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Gordon will be discussing her book Postwar Stories: How Books Made Judaism American\, which details a transformational era in American history immediately following World War II. At the start of the 1940s\, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to all but promise that if Americans entered the war\, it would not be to save the Jews. By the end of the decade\, antisemitism was in decline\, and Jews were moving toward general acceptance in American society. Gordon’s book examines the role of popular books in this era of change for Jews and American culture. \nAbout the Speaker\nRachel Gordan is the Samuel Shorstein fellow in American Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Florida\, where she teaches in the Department of Religion and the Center for Jewish Studies. She received a Ph.D. from Harvard and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale. For the 2024-2025 academic year\, Gordan is a National Endowment for the Humanities fellow at the Center for Jewish History in New York\, where she is working on a biography of novelist Laura Z. Hobson. Gordon grew up in the Boston area.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Emanuel Fiano’s Three Powers in Heaven: The Emergence of Theology and the Parting of the Ways
DESCRIPTION:How\, when\, and why did Judaism and Christianity diverge into separate religions? Three Powers in Heaven reinterprets the parting of the ways between Jews and Christians as a split between two intellectual traditions—a split that emerged within the context of ancient debates about Jesus’ relationship to God and the world. The book explores how Christianity moved away from Judaism through the development of new practices for religious inquiry. By demonstrating that the constitution of communal borders coincided with the elaboration of different methods for producing knowledge about the divine\, the author shows that theological controversies often thought to teach us nothing beyond the history of dogma can cast light on the broader religious landscape of late antiquity. \nAbout the Author\nEmanuel Fiano is an associate professor of Syriac studies in the theology department at Fordham University\, where he researches the intellectual history of late ancient Christianity\, with a particular focus on Syriac and Coptic literature\, religious controversies\, Christian-Jewish relations\, and canonical production. He is currently at work on a second monograph project that centers on the relationship between law and theology in the establishment of a Christian normative order in late antiquity.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Queer Judaism: LGBT Activism and the Remaking of Jewish Orthodoxy in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Until fairly recently\, Orthodox people in Israel could not imagine embracing their LGBT sexual or gender identity and staying within the Orthodox fold. But within the span of about a decade and a half\, Orthodox LGBT people have forged social circles and communities and become much more visible. This has been a remarkable shift in a relatively short time span. Queer Judaism offers the compelling story of how Jewish LGBT persons in Israel created an effective social movement. \nJoin Orit Avishai as she discusses her book\, which traces the path of how LGBT Jews accomplished this radical change. She makes the case that it has taken multiple approaches to achieve recognition within the community\, ranging from political activism to more personal interactions with religious leaders and community members\, to simply creating spaces to go about their everyday lives. Orthodox LGBT Jews have drawn from their lived experiences as well as Jewish traditions\, symbols\, and mythologies to build this movement\, motivated to embrace their sexual identity not in spite of\, but rather because of\, their commitment to Jewish scripture\, tradition\, and way of life. Unique and timely\, Queer Judaism challenges popular conceptions of how LGBT people interact and identify with conservative communities of faith. \nAbout the Speakers\nOrit Avishai is a professor of sociology at Fordham University. She is an ethnographer interested in how ideology and culture\, very broadly defined\, shape social institutions\, identity categories\, political dialogue\, cultural practices\, and processes of knowledge production. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from UC Berkeley\, and law degrees from Tel Aviv University and the Yale Law School. Avishai clerked in the Israeli Supreme Court and worked briefly as a lawyer. Her scholarship reflects this broad training. She has written about breastfeeding and the politics of motherhood in the United States\, gendered and sexual regimes in Israeli Jewish Orthodoxy\, women in conservative religions\, feminist knowledge production\, and the marriage education movement in the United States. Her new research focuses on religious polarization and conceptions of religious freedom in American Jewish Orthodox communities in the U.S. \nAnn Pellegrini is a professor of performance studies and social and cultural analysis at New York University and a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. Their books include Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis\, Staging Race (Routledge\, 1997); Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance\, co-authored with Janet R. Jakobsen (NYU Press\, 2003; Beacon Press\, 2004); and Queer Theory and the Jewish Question\, co-edited with Daniel Boyarin and Danial Itzkovitz (Columbia University Press\, 2003). Pellegrini’s most recent book\, co-authored with Avgi Saketopoulou\, is Gender Without Identity (The Unconscious in Translation Press\, 2023). Pellegrini is founding co-editor\, with José Muñoz\, of the “Sexual Cultures” Series\, at New York University Press\, now co-edited with Joshua Chambers-Letson and Tavia Nyong’o.

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:'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:Maeera Shreiber on Holy Envy: Writing in the Jewish Christian Borderzone
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch and public lecture\, co-sponsored with the Center for Jewish History. \nOver the last 50 years\, Jewish-Christian dialogue has made enormous strides. We now read each other’s scriptures and openly discuss differences\, as well as contiguities. Yet\, many such encounters have become somewhat rote and predictable. Holy Envy: Writing in the Jewish Christian Borderzone seeks to sharpen the dialogue by inviting readers to push past familiar terrain and explore the complex emotional landscape that sometimes colors one’s relationship with the religious “Other.” Demonstrating how such emotions as shame\, envy\, and desire can inform these encounters\, Holy Envy charts a new way of thinking about interreligious relations. Moreover\, by focusing on modern and contemporary writers who traffic in the volatile space between Judaism and Christianity\, the book calls attention to how these emotionally intense interactions make for creative possibilities. Holy Envy will engage readers who are interested in literature\, religion\, and\, above all\, interfaith dialogue. \nMaeera Y. Shreiber is an associate professor of English and former director of Religious Studies at the University of Utah\, where she teaches and writes about poetry\, Jewish American literature\, ethnic American studies\, religious studies\, and interfaith relations. Shreiber is the author of\, among other books\, Singing in a Strange Land: A Jewish American Poetics (2007). \nThis in-person event will also be livestreamed on Zoom for those unable to attend in person. Please indicate how you will attend during registration.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: On Winks and Lies: Jewish Conversion\, Sincerity\, and the Israeli State
DESCRIPTION:Religious conversion is often associated with ideals of religious sincerity. But in a society in which religious belonging is entangled with ethnonational citizenship and bureaucratic privilege\, a convert might well have multilayered motives. Over the last two decades\, mass non-Jewish immigration to Israel\, especially from the former Soviet Union\, has sparked heated debates over the Jewish state’s conversion policy and intensified suspicion of converts’ sincerity. \nThis talk will trace the performance of state-endorsed Orthodox conversion to highlight the collaborative labor that goes into the making of the Israeli state and its Jewish citizens. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in conversion schools\, rabbinic courts\, and ritual bath houses\, this talk will complicate the popular perception that conversion is a “wink-wink” relationship in which both sides agree to treat the converts’ pretenses of observance as real. Instead\, it will demonstrate how their interdependent performances blur any clear boundary between sincere and empty conversions\, and how these performances permit the state to save its Jewish face.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Pride Shabbat Services: Celebrating Gender\, Sexuality\, and Body in Israeli Reform Jewish Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Kabbalat Shabbat\, (Welcoming the Sabbath\,) is a traditional Jewish ritual marking the transition between the profane weekday and the holy Shabbat. Reform Jewish communities maintain this practice with certain ritualistic and textual revisions\, in order to include gender and sexual categories previously excluded from mainstream traditional Jewish texts and rituals. \nThis lecture\, based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork\, will analyze the particular LGBTQ Kabbalat Shabbat. By creating unique rituals to mark phenomena of both oppression and exclusion\, on the one hand\, and of love and acceptance\, on the other\, the Reform congregation emerges as a religious safe space. This lecture argues that those rituals dedicated to and constructed by the LGBTQ community function as a performance of affirmation and empower of gender and sexual identities. This egalitarian performance fosters a shared political discourse for promoting the struggle for equal rights through a new religious practice.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: A Poor Church for the Poor: The Community of Sant’Egidio and the Radical Ministry of Pope Francis: An Evening with Marco Impagliazzo\, President of Sant’Egidio
DESCRIPTION:The Community of Sant’Egidio is one of the most remarkable\, and lesser-known\, examples of faith in action in the Catholic Church today. The identity of the Community of Sant’Egidio is guided by what Pope Francis has called the three P’s: Prayer\, Peace\, and the Poor.  \nSince 1968\, the Community has offered a powerful witness of lay people living out their faith through programs that\, for example\, provide material and emotional support for the elderly\, the homeless\, and those suffering from HIV/AIDS. \nSant’Egidio has also worked closely with Pope Francis on a number of projects\, such as resettling refugees\, developing the Humanitarian Corridors program that has settled over 2\,500 refugees in Italy\, and operating the Pope’s recently opened home for the homeless.  \nSant’Egidio has also been an effective protagonist for global peacemaking\, most recently helping to broker an end to hostilities in the brutal and long-running South Sudan conflict. \nThe Community has been nominated for a Nobel Prize for Peace. \nSant’Egidio’s president\, Marco Impagliazzo\, will be in New York for meetings at the United Nations and he will speak with Fordham’s community about Sant’Egidio’s mission in today’s world\, how they are working to assist the Pope\, and how faith can make a difference.

SUMMARY:Dear Editor: Advice Columns and the Making of the American Yiddish Press
DESCRIPTION:At the turn of the 20th century\, American Yiddish newspapers overflowed with advice columns offering implicit and explicit guidance to readers about how to live their lives. From the Forverts’ famous “A Bintel Brief” to more practical advice columns\, such as Der tog’s “Letter Box” column\, these publications printed countless letters from readers asking editors to help them navigate personal tribulations\, American political infrastructures\, and Jewish communal life. \nEditors and publishers introduced these features to engage and entertain newspaper readers\, as well as to increase circulation. But these features also encouraged audiences previously unaccustomed to reading newspapers to view these publications as central sources for information and guidance about acclimating to American life. Eventually\, these interactions spilled off the page. Yiddish newspapers became so successful at marketing themselves as fountains of advice that they had to create open office hours and hire staff members whose job it was to correspond or meet with readers eager to receive personal counsel from their favorite papers. \nIn this talk\, Ayelet Brinn will explore the crucial role of advice columns in the development of the Yiddish press\, how these columns shaped the relationships between newspapers and their readers\, and how central advice columns became to the acclimation process of new immigrants eager to learn more about American life.\nThis is a joint event of the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham University and the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: David Assaf on "Childhood\, Diaspora\, and Zionism"
DESCRIPTION:David Assaf\, a professor from Tel Aviv University\, will discuss a treasure trove of some ninety letters written in 1935 by Polish Jewish children\, around 12 to 13 years old\, who studied in the Tarbut school north of Warsaw to their teacher who immigrated to Palestine. These moving letters of elementary school pupils—not young adults like those who participated in YIVO competitions for autobiographies—offer a very rare glimpse into childhood of Jewish children in interwar Poland. \nThe lecture\, titled “To My Beloved Teacher in Eretz Israel: Childhood\, Diaspora\, and Zionism in Letters Written by Hebrew School Pupils in Interwar Poland\,” is a part of the Fordham-New York Public Library lecture series.
