SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series—Katrin Kogman-Appel\, “Medieval Passover Haggadah: From Rituals to Illuminations\," Session III
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. \n“The Book and the Seder III: The Functions of Illustrated Haggadot” \nIn part three of our lecture series\, Katrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, will explore the role of illuminations in haggadot\, considering ornamented and un-ornamented examples. Some haggadot were designed as ritual objects meant to guide the seder leader\, who\, by divine command\, was obliged to stage a successful commemoration ritual\, but was not trained as a ritual agent. Illustration cycles had a tremendous potential to enhance this function of guidance. Other haggadot were meant for study and were most probably owned by scholars. Yet others were plain and cheap and while they still assisted the seder leader in staging the ritual\, they did not offer any visualized guidance. \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). \n

How was the haggadah recited? From a written text? From memory? In this lecture\, Katrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, will study various medieval sources\, both textual and visual\, that offer information about the performance of the seder and the various ritual acts prescribed in the haggadah. \nAbout Katrin Kogman-Appel  \nKatrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, is Alexander von Humbolt Professor of Jewish Studies\, University of Münster.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies—Olga Rusinova\, “From Form to Identity: Jewish-Brazilian Modernists in a Transnational Frame”
DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on Fayga Ostrower (1920–2001) and Anatol Naftali Wladyslaw (1913–2004)\, two Jewish-Brazilian modernists who engaged with questions of identity through non-figurative art in postwar Brazil. While their Jewish background was largely absent from official narratives of Brazilian modernism\, their artistic choices reflected broader transnational debates on Jewish visual culture. By examining their connections to European and New York art scenes\, the talk highlights how their work negotiated ethno-national belonging within multiple modernist contexts. \nOlga Rusinova holds a PhD in art history and previously served as associate professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics in Moscow. In 2023\, she relocated from wartime Russia to Campinas\, Brazil\, where she now teaches at the Ilum school of science\, and volunteers at the Museum of Visual Arts (MAV-UNICAMP). Rusinova’s academic work in Russia focused on postwar modernist art in the USSR and Eastern Europe. She has published extensively for scholarly journals\, museum catalogues\, and exhibition essays. This background informs her research on Jewish-Brazilian modernist artists of Eastern European origin\, and supports her ongoing work on how artistic identity takes shape across histories of exile\, migration\, and cultural translation. In spring 2026\, Rusinova is a short-term Fordham-NYPL Fellow in Jewish studies.

SUMMARY:Matthias Henze\, “It’s About Time: Time and the Sense of an Ending in Ancient Judaism”
DESCRIPTION:Jewish writers of the late Second Temple period did not share a single\, uniform understanding of time that can be summarized in just a few sentences. Nor do we have any ancient Jewish texts in which an author reflects on the passage of time in abstract\, philosophical terms. There are\, however\, a number of aspects of early Jewish notions of time that recur frequently in the texts\, some with roots in the Hebrew Bible\, and others that are developed for the first time during the Second Temple period. For example\, during this period we see the development of the notion of a world or age to come\, distinct from the present world. \nIn this talk\, Matthias Henze will examine a number of text passages—from the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha\, the Dead Sea Scrolls\, and the New Testament—to gain a better understanding of how Jewish intellectuals made sense of the passage of time and explored its beginning\, at creation\, and its end\, the eschaton. Together\, these texts offer an intriguing meditation on the various\, at times unexpected ways of constructing time in ancient Judaism. \nAbout Matthias Henze\nMatthias Henze was born and raised in Hanover\, Germany. In 1992 he earned a Master of Divinity from the University of Heidelberg\, Germany\, and moved to the United States to pursue a Ph.D. in Harvard’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. After completing his doctorate in 1997\, Dr. Henze joined Rice’s department of religion\, where he is now the Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Professor of Hebrew Bible and Early Judaism. His areas of interest include the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament\, Jewish literature and thought at the time of the Second Temple\, apocalyptic literature\, and the Qumran fragments. In particular\, Dr. Henze focuses on those early texts that never became part of the Jewish Bible – often subsumed under the labels ‘Apocrypha’ and ‘Pseudepigrapha’ – and what we can learn when these texts are read side by side with the canonical writings. Dr. Henze has written and edited ten books. While at Rice he has won five teaching/mentoring Awards. He was also named a founding fellow of Rice’s Center for Teaching Excellence. In 2009 he founded Rice’s Program in Jewish Studies\, of which he continues to serve as director.
