SUMMARY:“Aleppian Wedding”—Songs from Shared Traditions: A Concert with the Aleppo Ensemble and Mohamed Alsiadi
DESCRIPTION:Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies and the Arabic Studies Program present “Aleppian Wedding” Songs from Shared Traditions by the Aleppo Ensemble. \nThe Aleppo Ensemble is a New York-based group devoted to performing and preserving the rich heritage of wasla music\, song\, poetry\, and dance from Aleppo. The group’s mission has been made all the more urgent in recent years with the physical and cultural destruction of Aleppo\, long the cultural capital of Syria where Muslim\, Christian\, and Jewish traditions came together. \nThrough their work\, they strive to reach Syrian refugees as well as Syrian Americans whose history in the U.S. goes back over a hundred years\, two groups that share the fear that they are witnessing the destruction of their homeland. The Aleppo Ensemble’s music and story is a timely reminder that cultural traditions are often deeply held across time and place\, often in spite of historic humanitarian crises. \nThe wasla is a musical suite that is the focal point for evening gatherings devoted to traditional Arab classical music. Dating back hundreds of years\, the Aleppian wasla is heard at both Sufi religious events and secular performances. Based on various Syrian and Arabic maqams (modes)\, the wasla includes both improvised and composed instrumental and vocal pieces. \nThe Aleppo Ensemble was founded by Mohamed Alsiadi\, Ph.D.\, an oud virtuoso\, who grew up in a music-loving Sufi household in Syria. Living through the civil war that ravaged the country from 1979 to 1982 made him realize the need to preserve the legacy of Aleppian waslas. \nAfter that war concluded his mother found a box of wasla cassettes that he came to treasure. Alsiadi spent eight years studying with oud master Nadim Al Darwish\, the son of Ali Al Darwish\, an early 20th century musician and scholar who has been called one of Aleppo’s most famous musical sons. Alsiadi began collecting and transcribing waslas from Syrian musicians and radio stations while also launching an accomplished career as a performer and academic. \nIn 1996 Alsiadi moved to the United States\, where he is now a senior lecturer in Arabic at Fordham. He co-founded the Aleppo Ensemble with percussionist A. P. Joseph\, whose grandparents immigrated from Syria to the United States. \nAs the city and culture of Aleppo are once again suffering from the devastating effects of the Syrian war\, Alsiadi has brought its music to venues as prestigious as Carnegie Hall\, where he has performed with his collaborator\, the pianist and composer Malek Jandali. But also part of his mission is posting videos of waslas on YouTube where Syrian refugees around the world can see them. ‘ \n‘Wasla is one of the few things they cannot destroy” says Alsiadi\, ”because you cannot shoot music. You cannot kill music. Words sway thoughts\, music moves hearts\, and together they can spur action and affect the course of history.”

SUMMARY:Denzel Washington Chair in Theatre Lecture: “Art as Righteous Indignation"
DESCRIPTION:Meet playwright Dominique Morisseau\, Fordham’s new Denzel Washington Chair in Theatre\, at her talk titled “Art as Righteous Indignation.” \nMorisseau’s talk will touch upon her personal experiences as an artist. In her words: “I once had to admit to a mentor that I wasn’t the charming\, obedient\, teacher’s pet that she may have thought I was in college. I had a lot of anger towards my department and professors and spoke my mind in unpopular ways. What this mentor said in response to my fear of disappointing her was life-changing for me\, and made me the unapologetic artist that I’ve become ever since. Whether individual or collective\, outrage can give way to some powerful creative expression. How do we transcend the madness around us? Let’s have some real talk about it!” \n— \nDOMINIQUE MORISSEAU is the author of The Detroit Project\, a three-play cycle that includes Skeleton Crew (Atlantic Theater Company/Broadway\, Tony Award nominee for Best Play)\, Paradise Blue (Signature Theatre)\, and Detroit ’67 (Public Theater\, Classical Theatre of Harlem and NBT). Additional plays include: Confederates (Signature Theatre)\, Pipeline (Lincoln Center Theatre)\, Sunset Baby (LAByrinth Theatre)\, Blood at the Root (National Black Theatre)\, and Follow Me To Nellie’s (Premiere Stages). She is the Tony Award–nominated book writer on the Broadway musical Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations (Imperial Theatre) and is currently working on her latest\, Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical (ACT). Her TV/Film credits include: co-producer on Shameless (Showtime)\, the film adaptation of the documentary STEP (Fox Searchlight)\, and consultant on the Netflix animated feature\, Tunga. She is the recipient of a PoNY Fellowship\, a Ford Foundation Art of Change Fellowship\, Variety’s Women of Impact for 2018\, and a MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient. Her awards include the TEER Trailblazer Award\, the Steinberg Playwright Award\, Audelco Awards\, the NBTF August Wilson Playwriting Award\, the Wyndham Campbell Prize\, the Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama\, and two OBIE Awards. In 2022\, Dominique was awarded the key to the city by the mayor of Detroit.

SUMMARY:Blair Braverman: Author\, Adventurer\, Influencer…and Jewish Dogsledder!
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Blair Braverman\, one of the most remarkable young women you will ever meet. Braverman has completed some of the toughest sled dog races in the world\, including the grueling Iditarod. She is a columnist and contributing editor for Outside magazine and a contributor to The New York Times\, This American Life\, Vogue\, and many other outlets. \nBraverman’s canine-focused social media feeds have generated a huge following\, as have her honest accounts of her marriage to a trans man and her life as the only Jewish woman in places like Norway and northern Wisconsin\, where she lives with her husband\, Quince Mountain\, and their team of sled dogs (who she says are also Jewish). \nBraverman combines stories from the trail with lessons that her sled dogs have taught her about teamwork\, leadership\, problem-solving\, and resilience (plus—of course—adorable dog pictures). \nDavid Gibson\, director of the Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a conversation with Blair Braverman and she will be signing copies of her books.

SUMMARY:Screening of Yellow Face
DESCRIPTION:Tony-winning playwright David Henry Hwang’s comedy from Roundabout Theatre Company stars Daniel Dae Kim (Lost\, Hawaii Five-0) as an Asian American playwright who protests yellowface casting in the blockbuster musical Miss Saigon\, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. The repercussions resonate in this farce about the complexities of race. \nFilmed in November 2024 and directed by Leigh Silverman (Violet\, Suffs)\, Yellow Face is an “is-he-or-isn’t-he” comedy of identity\, show business and autobiography. \nFollowing the screening\, there will be a panel discussion featuring Francis Jue\, winner of the 2025 Tony Award\, and director Leigh Silverman. \nWe invite you to join us for this special screening and thought-provoking conversation. \nThe recording of this performance is provided courtesy of The WNET Group.

SUMMARY:Lecture: “Bringing ‘Tikkun Olam’ to the South: New York Jews in the Civil Rights Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Miyuki Kita\, professor of American studies at the University of Kitakyushu\, Japan\, will examine an unknown\, unacknowledged episode of the commitment of New York Jews to the Civil Rights Movement and its impact outside of New York City. During the summer of 1963\, 16 Queens College students—14 of whom were Jewish—traveled as far as the Prince Edward County\, Virginia\, to tutor local African American children who had not received any formal education since the shutdown of the county’s public schools to avoid the state’s integration order in 1959. These “Freedom Schools” eventually became an important model for Mississippi Freedom Schools in the following year. Additionally\, as a backdrop to the students’ visit to Virginia\, more than 200 students started to serve as tutors and recreational leaders for underprivileged children in South Jamaica\, Queens\, every Saturday in April 1963. In such circumstances emerged Andrew Goodman\, a Queens College student at the time of his death in Mississippi and gave his life to the civil rights movement. \nMiyuki Kita’s studies have focused on antisemitism in the U.S.\, Black-Jewish relations\, and Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University from 2012-2013. She also served as a visiting scholar at Queens College\, City University of New York in 2018-2019. Her works include “Breaking the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’: Jews and the 1945 New York Fair Employment Practices Act\,” in Fruma Mohrer and Ettie Goldwasser eds.\, New York and the American Jewish Communal Experience (New York: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\, 2013) and “Foot Soldier in the Civil Rights Movement: Lynn Goldsmith with SCLC–SCOPE\, Summer 1965\,” Southern JewishHistory\, vol.22\, 2019\, pp.151-188.

SUMMARY:'After: Poetry Destroys Silence'—Virtual Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The film After: Poetry Destroys Silence juxtaposes two competing claims about poetry after genocide and unspeakable horrors: Theodor Adorno’s statement\, “To write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric” and Charles Bukowski’s rebuttal\, “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” \nAfter explores poetry written about the Shoah\, in which contemporary poets respond to the Holocaust and talk about the importance and need for poetry in a world that still grapples with genocide. Rather than seeing the devastation\, After shows how poets respond to catastrophe and write in its aftermath. The film is ultimately about human resiliency\, the power and courage to forge new lives\, and the value of poetry in looking to the past to help create a better future. \nThe virtual panel discussion will include the film’s director Richard Kroehling\, Amelia Glaser\, a scholar of Slavic and Jewish literature from the nineteenth century to the present and the author of Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands (2012) and Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (2020)\, and Anna Shternshis\, a scholar of Jewish culture in Russia and the Soviet Union\, oral history as well as Yiddish music and the author of Soviet and Kosher: Jewish Popular Culture in the Soviet Union\, 1923 – 1939 (2006) and When Sonia Met Boris: An Oral History of Jewish Life under Stalin (2017)\, and director of a Grammy-nominated project\, Yiddish Glory: The Lost Songs of WWII\, which highlights forgotten Yiddish music written during the Holocaust in the Soviet Union.

SUMMARY:Adam Farkas\, “Oral Histories of the Soviet Jewish Diaspora in the US\, 1973 – 1980”
DESCRIPTION:Between 1973 and 1980\, over 65\,000 Soviet Jews\, often referred to as “dropouts\,” immigrated to the United States. While they are often treated as a single demographic group\, these Soviet Jews represented surprising diversity profiles across distinct waves of migration. Studying this population without considering their day-to-day experiences in the Soviet Union and the US misses important divergences in identity transformation\, cultural adaptation\, and assimilation practices. Through detailed oral history analysis\, the presentation examines the cultural adaptations and disparities encountered during their journey\, including education\, cultural dynamics\, political perspectives\, and community building. It investigates how these challenges influenced the immigration experience for Soviet Jewish immigrants in the United States versus their experiences in the Soviet Union. The study also looks at how adaptation to American culture contributed to evolving identities and how the preservation or rejection of Russian and Jewish heritage shaped self-perception. \nAdam Farkas holds a PhD in History from Budapest\, Hungary. After defending his dissertation\, he was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto\, where his research focuses on the oral histories and everyday life of Soviet Jewish émigrés in the 1970s. \nLunch will be served.
