SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: Hiding and Seeking
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents a retrospective of Menachem Daum’s compelling and challenging films. The four-film series continues on Feb. 3 with Hiding and Seeking\, an award-winning documentary which tells the dramatic and emotional story of Daum’s journey with his two sons to Poland to try to find the Polish Christian farmers who hid their family from the Nazis. The film explores the Holocaust’s effect on faith in God and the faith in our fellow human beings. Without avoiding complexity\, it juxtaposes the post-Holocaust image of Poland as an antisemitic country with the encounter with people who personify the highest levels of compassion. \nThe post-screening discussion will include historian Natalia Aleksiun\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky\, and Tzvi Dovid Daum. \nAbout Menachem Daum \nMenachem Daum\, a child of survivors of the Holocaust\, stumbled upon a family story in the Polish town of Dzialoszyce that would change the course of his life. His films explore his quest to find common ground between Jews and non-Jews\, Orthodox Jews and secular Jews\, Polish Catholics and Polish Jews\, as well as between Palestinians and Holocaust Survivors. His Orthodox upbringing as a child of survivors born in a DP camp and brought up in Schenectady and mostly in New York City\, and his early encounters at Brooklyn College with secular Jews\, and\, in New York\, with Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach\, led him on his first journey to Poland in the late 1980s. Carlebach’s outreach to the Polish people was in total contradiction to his experience with his own survivor community\, who often had disdain for their former Polish neighbors. That experience inspired him to re-examine his own viewpoints and to embark on a lifelong search for a way to bridge the often insurmountable gaps between people. Equally central to Menachem’s lifelong search was seeking to understand his father’s faith after losing his wife and a child during the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis. This search led to his exploration of the Hasidic Jewish community and its rebirth in the United States. For over 20 years\, Menachem travelled repeatedly to Poland\, seeking out “memory keepers\,” Polish Catholics and Jews who sought to preserve Jewish memory and bring Jewish life and culture back to Poland\, where it was decimated. \n

SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: The Ruins of Lifta
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents a retrospective of Menachem Daum’s compelling and challenging films. The four-film series continues on Feb. 9 with a screening and discussion of The Ruins of Lifta\, Daum’s 2016 documentary about the past and the present through the lens of Lifta\, the only Arab village abandoned in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that has not been completely destroyed or repopulated. Its ruins serve as a haunting backdrop for a confrontation between the two mega-narratives that underlie the Arab-Israeli conflict; the Nakba and the Holocaust. \nThe post-screening panel will include with historian Mehnaz Afridi\, legal scholar Aleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky\, Hillel Cohen\, and producer Aaron Levitt \n\nAbout Menachem Daum \nMenachem Daum\, a child of survivors of the Holocaust\, stumbled upon a family story in the Polish town of Dzialoszyce that would change the course of his life.

SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: Memory Keepers

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Katrin Kogman-Appel\, “Medieval Passover Haggadah: From Rituals to Illuminations\,” Session II
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies is delighted to welcome Katrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, as a distinguished lecturer. Professor Kogman-Appel will deliver three lectures and will hold two workshops with early printed books and facsimiles. \nOverview of the Lecture Series \nA stand-alone haggadah is an individually bound book that is ritually used during the seder ceremony on the eve of Passover to fulfill the divine precept of telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt to the young. Originally the haggadah was part of the general prayerbook and around the twelfth century it began to emerge as a separate volume. In some contrast to the widely held impression that the Passover haggadah has been the most widely owned book among Jews since premodern times\, the number of surviving haggadot\, both handwritten and printed\, is surprisingly low. This series of lectures tells the story of the stand-alone haggadah as a book genre in its own right and describes a century-long process of emergence and refinement until the haggadah finally became a common household item\, around the middle of the seventeenth century. \nSchedule for Session Two \n4 – 5:30 p.m.: An in-person workshop with Katrin Kogman-Appel at Walsh Library\, 4th Floor\, Archives and Special Collections \nA hands-on\, in-person-only workshop and open house focusing on haggadot from Fordham’s Collection at Archives and Special Collections in Walsh Library\, 4th Floor at Fordham’s Rose Hill Campus. \n6 p.m.: Lecture\, Walsh Library\, 4th Floor\, O’Hare Room (in-person and online) \n“The Book and the Seder II: The Birth of the Stand-Alone Haggadah and its Early History” \nPart two of this lecture series explores the ways in which the haggadah differs from all other books\, general prayerbooks in particular. For instance\, one might ask\, Why was it unpractical to use a Siddur during the seder? In this lecture\, Katrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, will seek to answer such questions through a material-study approach. Not all stand-alone haggadot are the same. Rather\, a whole range of haggadot emerged since the 12th century: tiny booklets\, plain haggadot\, extremely lavish haggadot with first-rate paintings\, illustrated haggadot with less lavish but abundant marginal vignettes\, and so on. In this lecture we shall look at the early beginnings of the stand-alone haggadah and follow its developments into a whole variety of book types. \nAbout Katrin Kogman-Appel \nKatrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, is Alexander von Humbolt Professor of Jewish Studies\, University of Münster. Until 2015 she was Professor\, Vice-Dean\, and holder of the Evelyn Metz Memorial Research Chair at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beer-Sheva\, Israel. She is a world expert on Jewish art of the Middle Ages with a focus on illuminated manuscripts of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Spain and Germany. Her many publications include: Illuminated Haggadot from Medieval Spain: Biblical Imagery and the Passover Holiday (2006); A Mahzor from Worms: Art and Religion in a Medieval Jewish Community (2012); and Catalan Maps and Jewish Books: The Intellectual Profile of Elisha ben Abraham Cresques (1325-1387) (2020).
