SUMMARY:New York Jews and New York Social Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between Daniel Soyer and Robert W. Snyder about Daniel Soyer’s new book\, Left in the Center: The Liberal Party of New York and the Rise and Fall of American Social Democracy (Cornell\, 2022). \nBetween the 1930s and the 1970s\, New Yorkers benefited from a kind of social-democracy-in-one-city unusual in the United States. Also unusual were the strong minor parties that played an important role in New York’s politics and helped formulate its social policy. Chief among these was the Liberal Party\, which drew support especially from the garment unions and the city’s working- and middle-class Jewish community. In its heyday\, the party could mobilize tens of thousands of people\, many of them union members\, and sway elections. By the end of the 20th century\, New York’s social democracy was in tatters\, and many charged that the Liberal Party had degenerated into a cynical patronage machine. Daniel Soyer discusses the roots of the Liberal Party and New York’s brand of social liberalism in the Jewish immigrant labor and Socialist movements\, their infusion into mainstream politics\, their influence on the city and state\, and their decline — along with their Jewish ethnic base — toward the end of the century. While the Liberal Party no longer exists\, small parties like the Working Families and Conservative Parties still play a significant role in local politics\, and so lessons drawn from the Liberal Party’s history are still relevant today. \nYou can get a 30% discount with code 09BCARD from Cornell University Press when you order the book from Cornell University Press. \nDaniel Soyer is a professor of history and Jewish studies at Fordham University and editor of The Jewish Metropolis: New York City from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021). In addition to his most recent book\, he has published The Emerging Metropolis: New York Jews in the Age of Immigration\, 1840-1920 (NYU\, 2012)\, co-written with Annie Polland and winner of a National Jewish Book Award\, and Jewish Immigrant Associations and American Identity in New York\, 1880-1939 (Harvard\, 1997)\, winner of the Saul Viener Award of the American Jewish Historical Society. He also is co-editor of the journal American Jewish History. \nRobert W. Snyder has devoted his career to writing and teaching about the history of New York City. Currently editing a documentary history of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York\, he is the Manhattan borough historian and professor emeritus of American studies and journalism at Rutgers University. He writes for both scholars and the general public in such books as Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights and the Promise of New York and All the Nations Under Heaven: Immigrants\, Migrants and the Making of New York. He has consulted for both the Museum of the City of New York and the Smithsonian Institution. A former Fulbright lecturer in American studies in Korea and a member of the New York Academy History\, he lives in Manhattan.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Family Meeting in Health Care—Social Work in a Leadership Role
DESCRIPTION:Family caregivers play a significant role in caring for people with chronic and serious illnesses. In the context of palliative and end-of-life care\, caregivers play a vital role in providing assistance with daily living\, critical medical decision-making\, and adherence to treatment recommendations. Social workers are uniquely qualified to work with family caregivers from the person-in-situation perspective and to take the lead in the family meeting. This class will highlight the theoretical framework for the family meeting in health care\, including palliative care\, best practices in caregiver assessment\, and treatment\, using real-life case scenarios to illustrate complex clinical issues and social work best practices. The training will focus on reinforcement of theory\, practice skills\, reflective exercises\, and strategies for increasing professional visibility within the family meeting. Topics will include caregiver burden\, biopsychosocial screening\, multidimensional intervention\, communication techniques\, and existential and cultural differences in response to serious illness. \nContinuing Education Hours Offered: 2

SUMMARY:Zionism: An Emotional State
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with Harvard University’s Derek Penslar. Based on Penslar’s forthcoming book\, the talk relates the history of Zionism through the lens of emotion. It argues that Zionism is a matrix of emotional states—bundles of feeling whose elements vary in volume\, intensity\, and durability across space and time. The history of emotions is a flourishing sub-field that dates back at least a half-century\, but few historians of Zionism have engaged with it\, preferring to focus on ideology and political institutions. Yet emotions are key to understanding Zionism\, which has historically been sustained by visceral sentiment\, as well as instrumental reasoning and moral values. Emotion is one of the most important cohesive forces within states and social movements. Scholars have created paradigms of “emotional regimes” created by states and informal “emotional communities\,” but the Zionist project has combined aspects of both. Just as the study of Zionism can benefit greatly from an emotional perspective\, emotional history is also enriched by engagement with a case that challenges reigning paradigms in the field. \nDerek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History at Harvard University. He previously taught at Indiana University\, the University of Toronto\, and Oxford University\, where he was the inaugural Stanley Lewis Chair in Modern Israel Studies. Penslar takes a comparative and transnational approach to Jewish history\, which he studies within the contexts of modern capitalism\, nationalism\, and colonialism. Penslar’s books include Shylock’s Children: Economics and Modern Identity in Modern Europe (2001)\, Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective (2006)\, The Origins of the State of Israel: A Documentary History (with Eran Kaplan\, 2011)\, Jews and the Military: A History (2013)\, and Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader (2020). He is currently completing a book titled Zionism: An Emotional State and is beginning work on a global history of the 1948 Palestine War. Penslar is president of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and an honorary fellow of St. Anne’s College\, Oxford.

SUMMARY:Common Good Constitutionalism
DESCRIPTION:Americans’ understanding of their Constitution and legal tradition has been dominated in recent decades by two contested themes: the “originalism” of conservatives and the “living constitutionalism” of progressives. Is it time to look for an alternative? Harvard Law School’s Adrian Vermeule says the alternative underlies the American legal tradition. He calls for “common good constitutionalism\,” which draws on “the classical synthesis of Roman law\, canon law\, and local civil law.” \nJoin us for a conversation with Eric J. Segall\, professor of law at Georgia State University; Fordham philosophy and law professor Michael Baur; and James E. Fleming\, professor of law at Boston University. The panel will be moderated by George Conk\, senior fellow at Fordham’s Stein Center for Law and Ethics.

SUMMARY:Melting Pots of Various Sizes: Jewish and Catholic Approaches to Americanization
DESCRIPTION:When immigration from southern and eastern Europe began rising in the 1880s\, many American Jews and Catholics viewed their co-religionists with a mixture of welcome\, apprehension\, and horror. With roots in Germany and Ireland\, these religious communities had overcome prejudices and made places for themselves within a Protestant-dominated society. The sight of Italians parading hometown saints down the streets and Yiddish-speaking\, bearded men peddling their wares threatened to undermine all they had achieved. While the historical narrative typically tells a story of clashing sensibilities\, American Jews and Catholics had widely varying ideas of the degree to which newcomers should assimilate. This talk will reveal previously overlooked nuances within Jewish and Catholic communities and give particular attention to regional differences. \nAnne Blankenship is an associate professor of religious studies a North Dakota State University’s History\, Philosophy\, and Religious Studies Department. Her research investigates religious responses to injustice and relationships between national\, racial\, and religious identities. Her book Christianity\, Social Justice\, and Japanese American Incarceration during World War II demonstrated how injustice transformed Asian American Christianity and challenged religious and racial boundaries in liberal American Christianity. Blankenship’s current book project is titled Religion\, Race\, and Immigration: How Jews\, Catholics\, and Protestants Faced Mass Immigration\, 1882-1924. The project has received support from several institutions\, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Academy of Religion. She received her doctoral degree in American religious history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion & Politics at Washington University in St. Louis\, and is a member of the Center for the Study of Religion & American Culture’s current Young Scholars of American Religion cohort. Blankenship teaches a wide range of courses\, including world religions\, history of Christianity\, global Islam\, new religious movements\, American religious history\, and religion and politics. \nThis event is co-presented by the Center for Jewish History and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Song Searcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion on Song Searcher\, a documentary about Moyshe Beregovsky\, a musician and scholar\, who traveled across Ukraine during the most dramatic years of Soviet history with a phonograph to record and study the traditional music of Ukrainian Jews. His work began in the 1920s and ended with his arrest and imprisonment in a Stalinist labor camp in 1950. Most of the songs he recorded on hundreds of fragile wax cylinders were deemed destroyed. But Beregovsky succeeded in saving the musical heritage of the centuries-old Yiddish civilization. He rescued the living voice of Ukrainian Jews from the flames of the Holocaust but paid for it with his life. \nPanelists \n\nAnna Shternishis\, University of Toronto\nLyudmila Sholokhova\, New York Public Library Dorot Jewish Division\nMark Slobin\, Wesleyan University\nGennady Estraikh\, New York University\n\nA password-protected link to a virtual screening of the film and a Zoom link to the panel discussion will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:The Forgotten Violence of the 20th Century: A Conversation About Trauma\, History\, and Forgetting with Elissa Bemporad\, Jaclyn Granick\, and Jefferey Veidlinger
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century was marked by mass violence\, with the Shoah and World War II dominating historical memory. But decades before the Shoah\, other instances of mass violence took place with tens—if not hundreds—of thousands of Jews massacred in eastern Europe. Scholars and readers of Jewish history know and remember the pogroms of 1881\, the Kishinev pogrom\, and the pogroms of 1905\, but the violence that followed the Great War\, or as we now call it World War I\, has largely been forgotten. Three recent books have recovered this traumatic past: Elissa Bemporad’s Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (2019)\, Jaclyn Granick’s International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (2021)\, and Jefferey Veidlinger’s In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918–1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust (2021). This panel will explore the forgotten violence\, its history\, and its legacy. \nElissa Bemporad is the Ungar Chair in East European Jewish History and the Holocaust\, and is a professor of history at both Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She is a two-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award. She is the author of Becoming Soviet Jews: The Bolshevik Experiment in Minsk (2013) and Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (2019). Bemporad is the co-editor of two volumes: Women and Genocide: Survivors\, Victims\, Perpetrators (2018) and Pogroms: A Documentary History (Oxford University Press\, 2021). \nJaclyn Granick is a lecturer in modern Jewish history at Cardiff University in Wales\, United Kingdom. She is the author of International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (Cambridge\, 2021) and co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies titled Gendering Jewish Inter/Nationalism (2022). She is currently serving as co-investigator of the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Jewish Country Houses research project. \nJeffrey Veidlinger is the Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust and the award-winning books The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage (2000)\, Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire (2009)\, and In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine (2013). He is the editor of Going to the People: Jews and Ethnographic Impulse (2016). = Veidlinger is chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, a member of the executive committee of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, and a former vice president of the Association for Jewish Studies\, \nThe discussion will be moderated by Magda Teter\, the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University and the author of Blood Libel: On The Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (Harvard\, 2020)\, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation (Harvard\, 2011)\, and Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (Cambridge\, 2006).

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Interdisciplinary Healthcare Team—Facilitating Healthy Teams
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary healthcare teams\, including palliative care teams\, are high-functioning models of effective inter/intradisciplinary work. Our process of collaborative information sharing can contribute to effective and emotionally sustainable care for patients and families. Social workers\, nurse practitioners\, physicians\, and other integral interdisciplinary team members are united in their common goal of quality patient care\, but the lens through which we view medical complexities may be radically different. \nWhile this difference and overlap contribute to the richness of interdisciplinary care and often results in better care for patients and families\, we must also nurture ourselves and these relationships to prevent role fatigue\, unintentional conflict\, and burnout. Healthy teams must be created and maintained. With the difficult realities we face in everyday work\, we must pay attention to the health of our colleagues\, and ourselves\, in order to best support team function. \nWhile healthcare team members have many shared attributes and skillsets\, social workers are trained specifically in nonverbal communication\, the impact and use of language\, relational dynamics\, family system theory\, and group therapy facilitation. These formational parts of our educational process uniquely position us to be team leaders in supporting healthy team function and identifying/navigating team distress. \nContinuing Education Hours Offered: 3

SUMMARY:The Power of the Crucified: Insights from Liberation & Womanist Theology
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture presented by Andrew Prevot\, Boston College. \nTheologians have discerned the presence of the crucified Christ in oppressed peoples. They have wrestled with challenging questions about how to understand such crucified groups not only as victims but also as Christologically empowered agents of salvation. Drawing on the works of Ignacio Ellacuría and M. Shawn Copeland\, this paper develops a liberationist\, womanist perspective on the power of the crucified.

SUMMARY:Diamonds and Rags: One Hasidic Gem Broker’s Quest for Precarity
DESCRIPTION:The wholesale trade and manufacturing of diamonds\, which once supported the vast majority of Antwerp’s Jewish male workforce\, has steadily relocated to less-regulated zones in the “midstream pipeline” of the diamond supply chain. This lecture draws upon extended ethnographic fieldwork that Sam Shuman conducted with diamond traders\, brokers\, manufacturers\, and artisans from 2017 to 2019 across the global diamond supply chain. \nShuman will focus on the story of Lazer\, a Hasidic rough diamond broker in Antwerp\, Belgium\, who\, like many people in today’s economy\, faces disintermediation—being cut out as a middleman or intermediary in an industry or global supply chain. In the wake of this uncertainty\, Lazer articulates an economic theology in which God intentionally places Jews in a constant state of dependence. According to Lazer’s economic theology\, God intentionally disperses provisions that never last; followers must\, in turn\, constantly beg God for more provisions. God does not desire supplicants to ever accumulate wealth. Accumulation of wealth is neither a sign of God’s election nor an assurance of future success. Here\, Shuman offers an intimate ethnographic portrait of how ancient rabbinic texts are being reimagined in the 21st century. Shuman explores how economic theology operates within the commercial world of the diamond industry and within contemporary Hasidic cosmologies of wealth\, dependence\, risk\, and security. \nSam Shuman is currently the Rabin-Shvidler Postdoctoral Fellow at Fordham and Columbia. Shuman is an anthropologist of race\, religion\, and political economy who researches global Jewish mobility\, trade\, and empire. Their dissertation\, “Cutting Out the Middleman: The Diamond Industry & the Politics of Displacement in a European Port City\,” explores cooperation and competition between and across diasporic trading groups to hold control over the wholesale diamond trade as the state reasserts its control. In so doing\, it reveals not only the struggle over power between trading diasporas but also between state and diaspora. Shuman is certified as a polished diamond grader and has conducted more than 18 months of fieldwork among wholesale diamond traders\, brokers\, and manufacturers in Antwerp\, Ramat Gan\, Mumbai\, and Surat. Their research has been funded by Fulbright\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Social Science Research Council. They received their Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology\, with a graduate certificate in Judaic studies\, from the University of Michigan in 2021. Their work has appeared in Religions\, Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture\, The Jewish Quarterly (UK)\, and is forthcoming in Feminist Studies in Religion.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Elder Justice and Public Policy for an Aging Society
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare providers have notable discomfort engaging individuals around issues of the abuse\, mistreatment\, and exploitation of older adults. Although there are requirements for reporting elder abuse\, healthcare provider discomfort and lack of experience contribute to it being the least reported type of domestic violence. Data suggest that one in 10 older adults in the United States is mistreated or neglected\, so social workers can expect to encounter these situations in many settings\, including family services\, healthcare settings\, and services for seniors. \nThe United States has laws at the state and national levels to protect older adults. As mandated reporters in most states\, social workers are integral to identifying\, assisting\, and reporting instances of elder abuse. This class will describe elder abuse\, signs\, and risk factors and cover local\, state\, and national policy and legislation for older adults. We will review historical context\, existing policies\, and needed policies. \nContinuing Education Hours Offered: 3

SUMMARY:Remnants: Photographs of the Jewish Bronx by Julian Voloj
DESCRIPTION:The Ten Commandments in the façade of a supermarket\, a Star of David above the entrance of a Baptist church\, a Hebrew date in the cornerstone of an apartment building. Nearly two decades ago\, photographer and writer Julian Voloj started to create images of Jewish traces\, remnants of a once-thriving Jewish culture—not in Poland\, Ukraine\, or other countries that today are places of pilgrimage for American Jewish heritage tourists\, but in his adopted hometown of New York City\, home of the largest Jewish diaspora in the world. His fascination with formerly Jewish neighborhoods stems from his own upbringing growing up Jewish in Germany\, where he himself felt like a remnant of a once-thriving culture. \nThe exhibition at Fordham University will focus on sights in the Bronx and also include portraits from his series on New York Jewish identity and diversity. \nJulian Voloj is an award-winning writer and photographer. Born in Germany to Colombian parents\, his work has been featured in publications including The New York Times\, Washington Post\, and Rolling Stone\, as well as in other national and international publications\, such as El País\, Neue Zürcher Zeitung\, Frankfurter Allgemeine\, the Jerusalem Post\, and more.

How might you map your experiences onto your concept of leadership in this fast-paced\, ever-changing world? In this discussion\, we will explore how to build your own leadership narrative and showcase your skills to competitive fellowships like Schwarzman Scholars. A recording will be sent to all who register.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Social\, Economic\, and Sustainable Practices to Foster Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The impending doom of climate change has dominated global discourse in recent times. It revolves around finding a sustainable solution to the equitable dispensation of scarce natural resources. The injustice gap is visible in current flawed social and political system trends that celebrate division instead of togetherness. COVID-19 exacerbated the situation and painted a clearer picture of these terrible issues. \nTo search for solutions\, we will host a conversation with experts to explore novel strategies to cure the irreversible\, imminent\, and global disaster. \nSpeakers \n\nRabbi Daniel Swartz\, executive director at the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life\nShabd Singh\, political organizer and advocate from Washington\, D.C.\nRaya Salter\, adjunct professor of law at Benjamin N.
