SUMMARY:CANCELED: The Idea of the Torah in Rabbinic Writings: The Significance of the Roman Context
DESCRIPTION:Whereas Jewish authors writing in Greek conceived of Mosaic law in universal terms\, rabbinic literature presented Torah as a law that is the exclusive inheritance of Israel. What historical\, political\, cultural\, legal\, and religious factors account for such a contrast? \nIn this lunch lecture\, Katell Berthelot\, a professor at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)\, and a member of the Paul Albert-Février research center at Aix-Marseille University\, traces this surprising story about the Torah in the history of ancient Judaism\, suggesting that rabbinic notions of Torah were impacted\, at least in part\, by Roman legal culture and its valorization of Roman positive law.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Pride Shabbat Services: Celebrating Gender\, Sexuality\, and Body in Israeli Reform Jewish Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Kabbalat Shabbat\, (Welcoming the Sabbath\,) is a traditional Jewish ritual marking the transition between the profane weekday and the holy Shabbat. Reform Jewish communities maintain this practice with certain ritualistic and textual revisions\, in order to include gender and sexual categories previously excluded from mainstream traditional Jewish texts and rituals. \nThis lecture\, based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork\, will analyze the particular LGBTQ Kabbalat Shabbat. By creating unique rituals to mark phenomena of both oppression and exclusion\, on the one hand\, and of love and acceptance\, on the other\, the Reform congregation emerges as a religious safe space. This lecture argues that those rituals dedicated to and constructed by the LGBTQ community function as a performance of affirmation and empower of gender and sexual identities. This egalitarian performance fosters a shared political discourse for promoting the struggle for equal rights through a new religious practice.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth
DESCRIPTION:In these uncertain times\, with widespread myths pervading the media\, government policy\, and our homes\, there is a deeper urge to not only discover what is true\, but to be able to recognize falsehoods. This year our Passover will be different from all other Passovers—with more questions to share at real and virtual Seder tables. \nThat’s why we’re pleased to announce that the discussion between Magda Teter\, Ph.D.\, of Fordham University and Sara Lipton of SUNY Stony Brook about Teter’s new book\, Blood Libel: On the Trail of Antisemitic Myth\, will happen online via Zoom\, right before Passover on April 7 at 4 p.m. \nThe book explores the medieval myth that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood—and its surprising persistence over centuries\, cultures\, and continents. The invention and development of printed media contributed to widespread dissemination of the myth\, turning it into a “persistent template of hate”: from mid-12th-century monastic manuscripts to a Facebook group titled\, “Jewish Ritual Murder\,” shut down in 2014\, and beyond. \nTeter is the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies and a professor of history at Fordham. Her work focuses on early modern religious and cultural history\, with emphasis on Jewish-Christian relations\, the politics of religion\, and transmission of culture among Jews and Christians across Europe in the early modern period. She published numerous articles and books in English\, Polish\, Italian\, and Hebrew. Teter was recently appointed the 2020-2021 National Endowment for the Humanities Senior Fellow at the Center for Jewish History\, and she will be working on her current research project\, “The Dissemination and Uses of the Jewish Past: The Role of The Present in The Production and Politics of History.” \nLipton is a professor of history at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her work focuses on religious identity and experience\, Jewish-Christian relations\, and art and culture in the high and later Middle Ages 11th–15th centuries. Her book\, Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Semitic Iconography examines how changes in Christian devotion and politics affected the visual representation of the Jew. It explains the emergence of the iconographically identifiable Jew around the year 1080 and brings theoretical coherence to the dizzying proliferation of images of Jews in subsequent centuries. Lipton’s current project\, “The Vulgate of Experience: Art and Preaching in the High Middle Ages (1180–1300)\,” explores why and to what effect Christendom invested so much in worshiping the ineffable Word through the material thing.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Conversation on Epidemics\, Disease\, and Plagues in Jewish History & Memory
DESCRIPTION:Epidemic diseases usually strike humans indiscriminately. Yet the social and cultural responses to them can often exacerbate the differences that set people apart. The plague first broke out in Europe in 1348\, but it recurred every generation\, and was a feature of daily\, social\, and cultural life. For Jews\, outbreaks of disease carried a double threat: one biological\, the other social. In this conversation\, we explore examples of disease in the Jewish past to examine the ways in which moments of epidemic challenged Jewish life and ritual\, and to explore how governments\, Jewish leaders\, and Jewish and Christian neighbors responded to the pressures of plague. \nIn a conversation with Magda Teter\, Ph.D\, professor from Fordham\, Joshua Teplitsky\, Ph.D.\, professor from SUNY Stony Brook\, will discuss special the role of memory and the constructions of myths and narratives about health\, hygiene\, immunity\, and responsibility as they revolved around public health and the fear of contagion. \nJoshua Teplitsky\, Ph.D.\, teaches Jewish history at SUNY Stony Brook. He is the author of Prince of the Press: How One Collector Built History’s Most Enduring and Remarkable Jewish Library\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. He is also the author of dozens of articles in academic journals and popular venues. Teplitsky received many prestigious fellowships. He is currently a Harry Starr Fellow at Harvard University\, working on a book about Jews and plagues in premodern Europe. \nMagda Teter\, Ph.D.\, is a professor of history and the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth\, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation\, and Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland. She has published numerous articles in English\, Hebrew\, Italian\, and Polish. Her research has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim and Harry Frank Guggenheim foundations\, the Yad Ha-Nadiv foundation\, Harvard University\, and the NYPL’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers\, among others. \nThis event\, which will take place as a webinar via Zoom\, is co-produced by Fordham University and the Center for Jewish History. All Jewish Studies events are free and open to public.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: On Winks and Lies: Jewish Conversion\, Sincerity\, and the Israeli State
DESCRIPTION:Religious conversion is often associated with ideals of religious sincerity. But in a society in which religious belonging is entangled with ethnonational citizenship and bureaucratic privilege\, a convert might well have multilayered motives. Over the last two decades\, mass non-Jewish immigration to Israel\, especially from the former Soviet Union\, has sparked heated debates over the Jewish state’s conversion policy and intensified suspicion of converts’ sincerity. \nThis talk will trace the performance of state-endorsed Orthodox conversion to highlight the collaborative labor that goes into the making of the Israeli state and its Jewish citizens. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in conversion schools\, rabbinic courts\, and ritual bath houses\, this talk will complicate the popular perception that conversion is a “wink-wink” relationship in which both sides agree to treat the converts’ pretenses of observance as real. Instead\, it will demonstrate how their interdependent performances blur any clear boundary between sincere and empty conversions\, and how these performances permit the state to save its Jewish face.

SUMMARY:Coronavirus Crisis:  How to Be a Person of Faith in the Legal Profession Today?
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Institute on Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work in discussing how faith can help to ease the disproportionate ways that COVID-19 is affecting marginalized communities. Yazmine Nichols\, a minister and law student\, LAW ’20\, will be leading the talk. She will be addressing her concerns with legal professionals adhering to a “bleached out” identity that disallows them to be who they are. Nichols will argue instead for the need for lawyers to bring their faith into their practice during these difficult times. After the talk\, there will be a Q&A breakout discussion for participants. The event will be take place virtually through Zoom. We hope you can join us.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: ‘Life Is an Eternal Now’
DESCRIPTION:The latest in the Fordham–NYPL Lecture Series features “Life Is an Eternal ‘Now’: Marija Gimbutas\, World War II\, and the Returns of Lithuanian History.” \nMarija Gimbutas (1921–1994) was an influential Lithuanian archaeologist and theorist of Neolithic European religion who taught at Radcliffe and UCLA after arriving in the United States in 1949. \nThis talk will explore Gimbustas’ formation in Europe among ethnographers and romantic nationalists who envisioned—and briefly achieved—an ethno-state during World War II\, when around 95% of Lithuania’s large and long-standing Jewish population was killed. Connecting the various strands of her thought and activism\, Michael Casper\, Ph.D.\, will show how Jewish history and the Holocaust factored into Gimbutas’s influential theories about the Indo-Europeans and religion\, and why\, for her and other Lithuanian émigrés\, the ancient past was more accessible than the Lithuania they left behind.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Red State\, Blue City: A Front Row Look at ‘Back Row America’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2020 Russo Family Lecture. \nA panel of powerful writers with first-hand knowledge of working-class people in hardscrabble communities across America share their stories and experiences of one of the most iconic and misunderstood segments of U.S. society. \nThe white\, rural\, Trump supporter has become a caricature that distorts and obscures reality. In fact\, many in our overstressed underclass are not white. They live in cities like New York as well as in the heartland. They may support Trump—or no one in particular. They are alienated from a society that has little use for them\, except as a convenient talking point. \nIn this discussion\, journalists\, memoirists\, and a historian explore the economic and social devastation\, and the faith and culture\, of what Chris Arnade calls “back row America.” \nPanelists: \nChris Arnade is the author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America\, a series of photo essays and true stories illuminating inequality and addiction from the Bronx to California. \nMonica Potts is an Arkansas-based writer working on a book about the women of her rural hometown. She wrote a 2019 New York Times essay about her neighbors’ “go-it-alone mythology” and “Donald Trump’s unbeatable appeal.” \nSteven Stoll\, Ph.D.\, a Fordham history professor and author of Ramp Hollow: The Ordeal of Appalachia\, will moderate the discussion. \nA reception and book signing will follow the event.
