SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Ilan Stavans\, "Notes on Hispanic Antisemitism"
DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism cannot be studied in the abstract\, for its varieties are always tied to specific historical circumstances. These reflections by internationally renowned\, award-winning public intellectual Ilan Stavans\, author of The Seventh Heaven: Travels through Jewish Latin America and other works\, on the varieties of Hispanic antisemitism\, contemplate its vicissitudes and principal ideologues\, from 1492 to the present\, as it has mutated from a religious-based hatred to an economic rivalry and now a political ideology with catastrophic consequences. \nIlan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor of Humanities and Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College\, the publisher of Restless Books\, and a consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary. His work\, translated into two dozen languages\, has been adapted into film\, TV\, radio\, and theater. His latest book is Conversations on Dictionaries: The Universe in a Book (Cambridge University Press). This academic year\, Stavans is a New York Public Library-Fordham University fellow on Jewish Studies\, completing a book on Hispanic antisemitism.

SUMMARY:'The Rise of Talmud': A Conversation with Moulie Vidas and Alyssa Gray
DESCRIPTION:This year\, Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies brings programs touching on a theme of disagreement in Jewish History. Join us for a discussion of The Rise of Talmud (Oxford University Press\, 2025)\, Moulie Vidas’s new book on the emergence of commentary on rabbinic teachings in the third and fourth centuries CE. In conversation with Alyssa Gray\, Vidas will explore how “The Rise of Talmud” reframes the Palestinian Talmud or Yerushalmi Talmud\, as it is called in Hebrew\, as a dynamic site of innovation and disagreement\, where tradition is reimagined as a human project and interpretation centers on textual criticism\, attribution\, and the intellectual agency of the reader. \nSpeakers: \nMoulie Vidas is an Associate Professor of Religion and the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University. His research focuses on classical Jewish texts\, especially the Talmuds\, in the context of late antiquity. He is the author of Tradition and the Formation of the Talmud (Princeton University Press\, 2014) and the recently published The Rise of Talmud (Oxford University Press\, 2025)\, which explores the emergence of commentary as a defining mode of rabbinic scholarship. Vidas also co-edited Late Ancient Knowing: Explorations in Intellectual History (University of California Press\, 2015) and is a faculty member in Princeton’s Program in the Ancient World. \nAlyssa Gray is the Emily S. and Rabbi Bernard H. Mehlman Chair in Rabbinics and Professor of Codes and Responsa Literature at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. Her scholarship examines the development of Talmudic literature\, the history of Jewish law\, and literary studies of post-talmudic legal writings. Gray is the author of Charity in Rabbinic Judaism: Atonement\, Rewards\, and Righteousness (Routledge\, 2019; paperback ed.\, 2020) and A Talmud in Exile: The Influence of Yerushalmi Avodah Zarah on the Formation of Bavli Avodah Zarah (Brown\, 2005; 2nd digital edition\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Concentration Camp Brothels
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch of Robert Sommer’s new book\, The Concentration Camp Brothels\, published by Fordham University Press. In this seminal work\, Robert Sommer reveals the hidden hor­rors of sexual forced labor within the SS camp system\, a subject long overshadowed and seldom acknowledged in the discourse on the Holocaust. \nThrough his rigorous examination of over 70 archives and poignant interviews with more than 30 survivors\, including former visitors of camp brothels\, Sommer paints a vivid and harrow­ing picture of the atrocities committed. This book is the first to offer a comprehensive exploration of the establishment\, operation\, and profound impact of brothels in Nazi concentration camps. \nRobert Sommer is a distinguished historian specializing in the intersections of violence\, sexuality\, and human rights\, with a focus on the Holocaust. He teaches at the University of Cooperative Education\, Berlin\, Germany. Sommer has served as a historical consultant for museums and film productions\, including the BBC documentary Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution (2005).

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:Lecture: “The Tangibility of the Secret: A Mystical View of the Senses”
DESCRIPTION:This discussion from Anna Sierka on kabbalistic traditions about the senses will turn to the Christian phrase\, noli me tangere (“do not touch me” in Latin)\, which plays on the touching and absence of any touching in the resurrection of Christ\, and thus engaging both touch and sight. The tactile sense will be explored in this inquiry through various sources\, including palmistry manuals (touching the parchment)\, the text known as Shiʻur Qomah (“The Measure of the Height [of the divine body]”)\, and other kabbalistic texts about marital relations. \nAnna Sierka earned her Ph.D. at the University of Munich with a doctoral dissertation focusing on the adaptation of divine chariot (merkavah) imagery from medieval Ashkenazi esoteric sources in Lurianic Kabbalah. She has been a Golda Meir Postdoctoral Fellow and a Minerva Fellow in the Department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, a Harry Starr Fellow in Judaica at the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard\, and a Koret Fellow at Tel Aviv University. Her articles have appeared in leading journals including Kabbalah: Journal for the Study of Jewish Mystical Texts\, The Journal of Religion\, and Harvard Theological Review. Her research explores shifts in esoteric and kabbalistic doctrines\, their philosophical inspirations\, and bifurcated anchoring detectable in other domains of knowledge\, for instance medicine and astronomy\, as well as in folk culture.

SUMMARY:Rabbi Vanessa Ochs\, “A Living Tradition: Jewish Ritual Responses to COVID and October 7th”
DESCRIPTION:It seems as if it happened “overnight\,” when during the COVID quarantine\, Jewish practices were mostly shifted to virtual platforms or were held in environments providing for social distance. Likewise\, only days after October 7\, 2023\, new Jewish practices emerged to mark concern for the hostages\, including installing “empty Shabbat tables” worldwide and wearing “Bring them Home-Now!” dog tags. \nOchs\, an ethnographer of Jewish practice who focuses on material culture and takes a lived-religion approach\, will be discussing what these newest Jewish ritual practices have in common\, including spontaneity\, resilience\, and collectivity. \nRabbi Vanessa Ochs\, Ph.D.\, is Professor Emerita in the UVA Department of Religious Studies and Jewish Studies Program. In 2023–2024\, she was the Rabbi Sally Priesand Visiting Professor at the HUC/JIR Rabbinical Schools. Her books include The Passover Haggadah: A Biography (Princeton University Press) and Inventing Jewish Ritual (JPS).

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Rachel Gordan on Postwar Stories: How Books Made Judaism American
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Gordon will be discussing her book Postwar Stories: How Books Made Judaism American\, which details a transformational era in American history immediately following World War II. At the start of the 1940s\, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to all but promise that if Americans entered the war\, it would not be to save the Jews. By the end of the decade\, antisemitism was in decline\, and Jews were moving toward general acceptance in American society. Gordon’s book examines the role of popular books in this era of change for Jews and American culture. \nAbout the Speaker\nRachel Gordan is the Samuel Shorstein fellow in American Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Florida\, where she teaches in the Department of Religion and the Center for Jewish Studies. She received a Ph.D. from Harvard and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale. For the 2024-2025 academic year\, Gordan is a National Endowment for the Humanities fellow at the Center for Jewish History in New York\, where she is working on a biography of novelist Laura Z. Hobson. Gordon grew up in the Boston area.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Emanuel Fiano’s Three Powers in Heaven: The Emergence of Theology and the Parting of the Ways
DESCRIPTION:How\, when\, and why did Judaism and Christianity diverge into separate religions? Three Powers in Heaven reinterprets the parting of the ways between Jews and Christians as a split between two intellectual traditions—a split that emerged within the context of ancient debates about Jesus’ relationship to God and the world. The book explores how Christianity moved away from Judaism through the development of new practices for religious inquiry. By demonstrating that the constitution of communal borders coincided with the elaboration of different methods for producing knowledge about the divine\, the author shows that theological controversies often thought to teach us nothing beyond the history of dogma can cast light on the broader religious landscape of late antiquity. \nAbout the Author\nEmanuel Fiano is an associate professor of Syriac studies in the theology department at Fordham University\, where he researches the intellectual history of late ancient Christianity\, with a particular focus on Syriac and Coptic literature\, religious controversies\, Christian-Jewish relations\, and canonical production. He is currently at work on a second monograph project that centers on the relationship between law and theology in the establishment of a Christian normative order in late antiquity.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Queer Judaism: LGBT Activism and the Remaking of Jewish Orthodoxy in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Until fairly recently\, Orthodox people in Israel could not imagine embracing their LGBT sexual or gender identity and staying within the Orthodox fold. But within the span of about a decade and a half\, Orthodox LGBT people have forged social circles and communities and become much more visible. This has been a remarkable shift in a relatively short time span. Queer Judaism offers the compelling story of how Jewish LGBT persons in Israel created an effective social movement. \nJoin Orit Avishai as she discusses her book\, which traces the path of how LGBT Jews accomplished this radical change. She makes the case that it has taken multiple approaches to achieve recognition within the community\, ranging from political activism to more personal interactions with religious leaders and community members\, to simply creating spaces to go about their everyday lives. Orthodox LGBT Jews have drawn from their lived experiences as well as Jewish traditions\, symbols\, and mythologies to build this movement\, motivated to embrace their sexual identity not in spite of\, but rather because of\, their commitment to Jewish scripture\, tradition\, and way of life. Unique and timely\, Queer Judaism challenges popular conceptions of how LGBT people interact and identify with conservative communities of faith. \nAbout the Speakers\nOrit Avishai is a professor of sociology at Fordham University. She is an ethnographer interested in how ideology and culture\, very broadly defined\, shape social institutions\, identity categories\, political dialogue\, cultural practices\, and processes of knowledge production. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from UC Berkeley\, and law degrees from Tel Aviv University and the Yale Law School. Avishai clerked in the Israeli Supreme Court and worked briefly as a lawyer. Her scholarship reflects this broad training. She has written about breastfeeding and the politics of motherhood in the United States\, gendered and sexual regimes in Israeli Jewish Orthodoxy\, women in conservative religions\, feminist knowledge production\, and the marriage education movement in the United States. Her new research focuses on religious polarization and conceptions of religious freedom in American Jewish Orthodox communities in the U.S. \nAnn Pellegrini is a professor of performance studies and social and cultural analysis at New York University and a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. Their books include Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis\, Staging Race (Routledge\, 1997); Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance\, co-authored with Janet R. Jakobsen (NYU Press\, 2003; Beacon Press\, 2004); and Queer Theory and the Jewish Question\, co-edited with Daniel Boyarin and Danial Itzkovitz (Columbia University Press\, 2003). Pellegrini’s most recent book\, co-authored with Avgi Saketopoulou\, is Gender Without Identity (The Unconscious in Translation Press\, 2023). Pellegrini is founding co-editor\, with José Muñoz\, of the “Sexual Cultures” Series\, at New York University Press\, now co-edited with Joshua Chambers-Letson and Tavia Nyong’o.

SUMMARY:Amy Weiss on Realigning Faith: American Jews\, Protestants\, and Israel 1945–2020
DESCRIPTION:In 1977\, the American Jewish Committee awarded Billy Graham its first National Interreligious Award in recognition of the evangelist’s support of Israel and endorsement of interfaith relations. While bestowing the award upon an evangelical—and not a mainline Protestant or Catholic—made sense to the AJC\, not all Jewish communal organizations or American Jews understood this decision. This talk examines the shifting alliances the AJC and other communal organizations forged with evangelicals in the late 20th century and how these alliances revealed the role of Israel in Jewish-Protestant relations. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmy Weiss holds the Maurice Greenberg Chair of Judaic Studies and is an assistant professor of Judaic studies and history at the University of Hartford. During the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is also a faculty fellow in ethnic studies for the University of Hartford’s Center for the Humanities and a Center for Jewish History-Fordham University Research Fellow. She previously held the Thomas and Elissa Ellant Katz Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania’s Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. Her research and publications focus on the intersections of American Jewish history\, Israeli culture\, and Jewish-Protestant relations. She is currently writing a book manuscript on the evolving relationships American Jewish communal organizations have forged with evangelicals on issues relating to Israel.

SUMMARY:'Futures Not Yet: Jewish Exiles\, Black Politics'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid lecture from Jana Schmidt\, part of the Fordham-NYPL lecture series. \nIn the late 1930s and early 1940s\, a small contingent of Jewish German refugees received asylum in the United States to find that the flame of democracy had been a sword to some. As African American publications across the country had not failed to observe\, there were parallels between racial segregation practices and the Nuremberg Laws.

SUMMARY:Maeera Shreiber on Holy Envy: Writing in the Jewish Christian Borderzone
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch and public lecture\, co-sponsored with the Center for Jewish History. \nOver the last 50 years\, Jewish-Christian dialogue has made enormous strides. We now read each other’s scriptures and openly discuss differences\, as well as contiguities. Yet\, many such encounters have become somewhat rote and predictable. Holy Envy: Writing in the Jewish Christian Borderzone seeks to sharpen the dialogue by inviting readers to push past familiar terrain and explore the complex emotional landscape that sometimes colors one’s relationship with the religious “Other.” Demonstrating how such emotions as shame\, envy\, and desire can inform these encounters\, Holy Envy charts a new way of thinking about interreligious relations. Moreover\, by focusing on modern and contemporary writers who traffic in the volatile space between Judaism and Christianity\, the book calls attention to how these emotionally intense interactions make for creative possibilities. Holy Envy will engage readers who are interested in literature\, religion\, and\, above all\, interfaith dialogue. \nMaeera Y. Shreiber is an associate professor of English and former director of Religious Studies at the University of Utah\, where she teaches and writes about poetry\, Jewish American literature\, ethnic American studies\, religious studies\, and interfaith relations. Shreiber is the author of\, among other books\, Singing in a Strange Land: A Jewish American Poetics (2007). \nThis in-person event will also be livestreamed on Zoom for those unable to attend in person. Please indicate how you will attend during registration.

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.
