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: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:Dracula: Medieval Hero and Modern Vampire
DESCRIPTION:Dracula—the vampire count—has been a popular cultural mainstay portrayed in films\, television shows\, novels\, and comic books for more than a century. The modern fascination with Dracula began in the 1920s and 1930s with the success of plays and movies based on Bram Stoker’s eponymous novel\, first published in 1897. \nThe events described in Stoker’s Dracula take place in fin-de-siècle London and Transylvania\, and the novel makes only loose historical references to its 15th-century namesake: Vlad III “the Impaler” (1431–c. 1476)\, prince of Wallachia\, now a region of Romania. The massive popularity of the fictional Dracula has generated considerable curiosity about the real-life prince himself\, his brutal reign\, and his times. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Alice Isabella Sullivan will examine the transformations of the historical figure into a modern vampire and the tireless allure of Dracula for creators and audiences. \nPanelists \nAlice Isabella Sullivan is an assistant professor of medieval art and architecture and the director of graduate studies at Tufts University\, specializing in Eastern European and Byzantine-Slavic art history. She is the author of the recently published The Eclectic Visual Culture of Medieval Moldavia. \nDavid J. Goodwin\, the assistant director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture and the author of the forthcoming Midnight Rambles: H. P. Lovecraft in Gotham\, will moderate a conversation with the audience.
