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:Sister Helen Prejean on Dead Man Walking: Opera\, Activism\, and Faith
DESCRIPTION:Catholic nun and death penalty opponent Helen Prejean will join both the composer and lead singer of the Metropolitan Opera’s new production for an evening of conversation. \nDead Man Walking is Sister Prejean’s bestselling 1993 memoir chronicling her ministry to death row inmates and the families of their victims. In 1995\, her book was adapted for the screen and became an Academy Award-winning film. And in 2000\, Dead Man Walking premiered as an opera—the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years. \nThis fall\, the opera makes its premiere at the Metropolitan Opera. In anticipation of that opening\, Sister Prejean will join composer Jake Heggie and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato—who portrays Sister Prejean—at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle for a conversation about the opera and the roles art and faith play in galvanizing social action. \nThe occasion of this production is especially propitious as Pope Francis has declared the death penalty “inadmissible” under Catholic teaching. At the same time\, some states are ramping up efforts to schedule executions even as more death row inmates are exonerated or questions are raised about their convictions. This gives the campaign against capital punishment even greater urgency. \nFordham University president Tania Tetlow will introduce the evening’s guests\, and the Center on Religion and Culture’s director\, David Gibson\, will moderate the discussion. \nThis event is a partnership with the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and the Metropolitan Opera.
