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.

SUMMARY:Filming Words – Nurith Aviv: Screenings and Conversations\, Day 4
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of From Language to Language (2004) and Allenby\, Passage (2001) with Nurith Aviv in conversation with Gil Anidjar\, Yemane Demissie\, Cynthia Madansky\, and Richard Peña \nCo-sponsored by Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies\, Centro Primo Levi\, and Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture \nThe transformation of Hebrew from a language set apart to the common speech of a nation happened within a handful of decades. Yet this triumph came at a cost: the erasure\, sometimes violent\, of the languages that once lived in its speakers’ minds and mouths. From Language to Language (2004) gathers a chorus of exiles of language—poets\, writers\, singers\, and actors—who search for new roots as they remain wooed by the echoes of the past.   \nIn Allenby\, Passage (2001)\, an oneiric video essay\, the director retraces her father’s steps along a passage of Allenby Street in Tel Aviv\, where he once bought his photographic equipment. Amid the rustling of chatter rising from the street\, the camera turns its gaze to fleeting details\, intercepted in their evanescence. As Aviv once described her work as a cinematographer\, this film attempts to capture the “beats of time.” \nNurith Aviv (Tel Aviv\, Mandatory Palestine\, 1945) has directed ​​18 documentary films. Her works investigate language and move lyrically through the landscapes\, collective myths\, and intimate narratives that shape humans’ ways of being together. The first woman to be a director of photography in France\, she has shot a hundred fiction and documentary films with directors such as Agnès Varda\, Amos Gitai\, René Allio\, and Jacques Doillon. She has received important prizes\, including the Edouard Glissant Prize (2009) and the Grand Prix de l’Académie française (2019). Her works have been shown in multiple retrospectives in Paris\, including a week-long one last month. She has been the subject of a movie (Woman with a Camera by Zohar Behrendt\, 2023) and now of a book (Filmer la Parole\, 2025). \nThis tribute\, the fruit of a collaboration between the Fordham University Center for Jewish Studies\, the Primo Levi Center\, and the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture\, is the first of its kind in New York City. It will gather Aviv’s long-time fans\, newcomers to her work\, and lovers of language from all backgrounds to celebrate through images and words this exceptional director as she turns 80.

SUMMARY:Filming Words – Nurith Aviv: Screenings and Conversations\, Day 3
DESCRIPTION:A screening of Words That Remain (2022​) and Bruly Bouabré’s Alphabet (2005) with Nurith Aviv in conversation with Gil Anidjar\, Yemane Demissie\, Cynthia Madansky\, James Redfield\, and Moulie Vidas\nCo-sponsored by Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies\, Centro Primo Levi\, and Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture \nWords That Remain  (2022)\nWhat is a mother tongue? In this film six voices call forth memories of the languages that shaped their childhoods: Judaeo-Spanish\, Judaeo-Arabic\, and Judaeo-Persian—each infused with lexical elements of Hebrew and written in the Hebrew script. Though these languages are fading\, their melodies\, cadences\, and intonations linger\, shaping the consciousnesses of those who once heard them in their homes. \nBruly Bouabré’s Alphabet (2005)\nWhat remains of a language when no one is left to speak it? In the Ivory Coast\, some 600\,000 Bété people communicate mainly in a language that is absent from their schools\, overshadowed by the dominance of French. In the 1950s\, artist Frédéric Bruly Bouabré sought to change that. He devised hundreds of pictograms\, drawn from the simple syllables of Bété\, to help his people claim the written word. Now in old age\, he reflects on his mission: to craft an African script born from the images of daily life\, preserving in symbols what speech alone could not. \nNurith Aviv (Tel Aviv\, Mandatory Palestine\, 1945) has directed ​​18 documentary films. Her works investigate language and move lyrically through the landscapes\, collective myths\, and intimate narratives that shape humans’ ways of being together. The first woman to be a director of photography in France\, she has shot a hundred fiction and documentary films with directors such as Agnès Varda\, Amos Gitai\, René Allio\, and Jacques Doillon.

Then\, by force of national and political will\, it was reborn as a language of daily life in the early 20th century. Writers and artists from Israel explore their intimate\, often conflicted relationship with Hebrew’s layered past\, reflecting on what has been forgotten or repressed and what needs to resurface. Their confessions overlap and part\, as the film allows no single version of this history prevails. \nTickets for all four events in this series are free for Fordham University’s and Centro Primo Levi’s guests who register by April 15. Starting on April 16th\, tickets will be available for sale for $20 or $10 (students and seniors discount). \nNurith Aviv (Tel Aviv\, Mandatory Palestine\, 1945) has directed ​​18 documentary films.

SUMMARY:Christian Witness and the Legacy of Alexei Navalny
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an extraordinary discussion on the life\, faith\, and ultimate sacrifice of Alexei Navalny\, the fearless Russian opposition leader who died in prison in February 2024 under circumstances widely believed to involve the Russian regime. Seen as a personal enemy of Vladimir Putin\, Navalny’s unshakable commitment to justice and democracy came at the highest cost\, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire people worldwide. \nDrawing inspiration from Alexei Navalny’s recent book Patriot\, which offers reflections from his final months in court and prison\, this event will explore the profound role of his Christian faith in sustaining his courage and hope. Even amidst unimaginable oppression\, his faith served as a wellspring of resilience and strength. \nOur distinguished speakers include Vladimir Kara-Murza\, a prominent Russian dissident and human rights advocate who himself endured imprisonment and continues to champion democracy\, and Serge Schmemann\, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and member of The New York Times editorial board. This conversation will explore faith\, resilience\, and the enduring fight for truth against authoritarianism.

SUMMARY:Wisam Abughosh Chaleila\, “Manifestations of Jerusalem in Palestinian and Israeli Poetry”
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the various depictions of Jerusalem through different poetic traditions and historical periods\, exploring how poets from diverse backgrounds have captured the city’s spiritual significance and political symbolism. Focusing primarily on Mahmoud Darwish’s “In Jerusalem” (2005) and Yehuda Amichai’s “Jerusalem\,” (1992)\, the talk examines how each poet\, from different cultural and historical contexts\, captures the city’s complex combination of spiritual significance and political symbolism. Amichai uses everyday imagery\, like laundry and flags\, to portray Jerusalem as a place of human interaction and shared struggles\, emphasizing the tangible experience of coexistence and division. In contrast\, Darwish’s portrayal is mystical and transcendent\, expressing a sense of spiritual transformation and longing within the city’s sacred space. Through these perspectives\, the talk highlights how Jerusalem is not only a physical location but also a powerful symbol shaped by human dreams and conflicts\, embodying current questions about history and identity. \nThis event is co-presented by Fordham’s Arabic Language Program and the Center for Jewish Studies.  Lunch will be served.

SUMMARY:Sonic Icons: A Conversation with Sarah Bakker Kellogg and Ashley Purpura
DESCRIPTION:To the extent that Middle Eastern Christians register in Euro-American political imaginaries\, they are usually invoked to justify Western military intervention into countries like Iraq or Syria\, or as an exemption to anti-Islamic immigration policies because of an assumption that their Christianity makes them easily assimilable in the so-called “Judeo-Christian” West. \nUsing the tools of multisensory ethnography\, Sonic Icons uncovers how these views work against the very communities they are meant to benefit. Through long term fieldwork in the Netherlands among Syriac Orthodox Christians—also known as Assyrians\, Aramaeans\, and Syriacs—Bakker Kel­logg reveals how they intertwine religious practice with political activism to save Syriac Christianity from the twin threats of political violence in the Middle East and cultural assimilation in Europe. \nIn a historical moment when much of their tradition has been forgotten or destroyed\, their story of self-discovery is one of survival and reinvention. By reviving the late antique Syriac litur­gical tradition known as the Daughters and Sons of the Covenant\, these groups seek a complex form of recognition for what they understand to be the ethical core of Christian kinship in an ethnic and a religious sense\, despite living in societies that do not recognize this unhyphenated form of ethno religiosity as a politically legitimate mode of public identity. \nDrawing on both theological and linguistic understandings of the icon\, Sonic Icons rethinks foundational theoretical accounts of ethnicization\, racialization\, and secularization. \nOrthodox Studies Center events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Film Screening of Cabrini
DESCRIPTION:Join Campus Ministry\, the Center for Religion and Culture\, the Curran Center for American Catholic Studies\, and the Jesuit community at Fordham Rose Hill for a film screening of the movie Cabrini. The film depicts the life of a Catholic missionary sister from Italy named Francesca Cabrini\, who encounters resistance to her charity efforts in NYC. Cabrini explores the sexism and anti-Italian bigotry faced by Mother Cabrini and other immigrants in the United States—and in the Catholic Church itself—in the late 19th and early 20th century. Mother Cabrini died in 1917\, and in 1946\, she was canonized\, becoming the first American saint. In 1950\, she was named the Patroness of Immigrants.
