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:NYC Book Launch: Edward Cahill (Disorderly Men) in Conversation with Charles Kaiser
DESCRIPTION:Fordham University professor Edward Cahill will discuss his new book\, Disorderly Men (Fordham University Press\, 2023) with Charles Kaiser\, author of The Gay Metropolis: The Landmark History of Gay Life in America. \nBook Synopsis \nRoger Moorhouse is a Wall Street banker and Westchester family man with a preciously guarded secret. As the shouting begins and flashlights blaze in his face\, the life he’s carefully curated over the years—a fancy new office overlooking lower Broadway\, a house in Beechmont Woods\, his wife and children—is about to come crashing down around him. \nColumbia literature professor Julian Prince lives a comparatively uncloseted life when he finds his first committed relationship tested to its limits. How could he explain to Gus\, a fearless young artist\, that he couldn’t stay with him that weekend because the woman who was still technically Julian’s fiancée would be visiting? But when Gus is struck unconscious by a police baton\, Julian comes out of hiding to protect him\, even if exposure means losing everything. \nFor Danny Duffy\, an Irish kid from the Bronx with a sassy mouth and a diverse group of friends\, the raid is a galvanizing\, Spartacus moment. Danny doesn’t have too much left to lose; his family has just disowned him. But once his name appears in the newspaper\, he’ll be fired from his job at Sloan’s Supermarket\, where he’s risen to assistant manager of produce\, and begin a journey that veers between political enlightenment and violent revenge. \nThe three men find themselves in a police wagon together\, their hidden lives threatened to be revealed to the world. Blackmail\, a private investigator\, Gus’ disappearance\, and Danny’s quest for retribution propel Disorderly Men to its piercing conclusion\, as each man meets the boundaries of his own fear\, love\, and shame. The stakes for each are different\, but all of them confront a fundamental question: How much happiness is he allowed to have\, … and what share of it will he lay claim to? \nAbout the Speakers \nEdward Cahill is a professor of English at Fordham University\, where he’s taught since 2005. He earned a Ph.D. from Rutgers University\, specializing in the literature of British America and the early U.S. Republic. He has published numerous articles in such journals as American Literature\, Early American Literature\, Early American Studies\, and ELH. His monograph\, Liberty of the Imagination: Aesthetic Theory\, Literary Form\, and Politics in the Early United States\, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2012. More recently\, Cahill has been teaching modern and contemporary fiction and writing novels. Some of his favorite authors to teach are Jane Austen\, Henry James\, James Baldwin\, Toni Morrison\, Alan Hollinghurst\, Jennifer Egan\, Ben Lerner\, Tommy Orange\, Ocean Vuong\, Patricia Lockwood\, and Rachel Kushner. His debut novel\, Disorderly Men\, will be the Fordham University Press’ first original literary fiction release. Cahill lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. \nCharles Kaiser is the author of three books including the New York Times Notable Book of the Year and Lamba Literary Award-winner The Gay Metropolis: The Landmark History of Gay Life in America. He has been a reporter for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal\, and a press critic at Newsweek.

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: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.
