SUMMARY:Freeing Agunot in Practice: Aspects of the New York Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Agunah panel discussion will concentrate on the problem of Jewish women whose husbands refuse to grant them a bill of divorce (Get)\, and who are\, therefore\, unable to remarry under Jewish law. The discussion aims to highlight the scope of the problem and to raise awareness of current practices available for its amelioration. \nPanelists include a representative from a leading New York Agunah relief agency and from a New York family support organization. A Rabbinic responder will facilitate the discussion.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Faye McNeill\, Ph.D.\, professor of chemical engineering at Columbia University\, will present “The Air We Breathe: Airborne Transmission of COVID and Air Quality.” \nSince late 2019\, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally\, causing a pandemic (‘coronavirus disease 2019’ or COVID-19) with dire consequences\, including widespread death\, long-term illness\, and societal and economic disruption. Although initially uncertain\, evidence is now overwhelming that SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted primarily through respiratory droplets and aerosols emitted by infected individuals at close to medium range. As a result\, many effective nonpharmaceutical interventions for slowing virus transmission operate by blocking\, filtering\, or diluting respiratory aerosol\, particularly in indoor environments. McNeill will discuss the evidence for airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens\, and implications for engineering solutions to reduce transmission risk. McNeill will also discuss the recent efforts of the Columbia Clean Air Toolbox for Cities Initiative toward improving air quality in cities across the Global South.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Javad Shabani\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor of physics at New York University\, will present “Towards Topological Superconductivity in Epitaxial Superconductor-Semiconductor Materials System.” \nA central goal in condensed matter physics is to understand and control the order parameter characterizing the collective state of electrons in quantum heterostructures. For example\, new physical behaviors can emerge that are absent in the isolated constituent materials. With regards to superconductivity\, this has opened a whole new area of investigation in the form of topological superconductivity. This type of superconductivity is expected to host exotic\, quasi-particle excitations\, including Majorana bound states that hold promise for fault-tolerant quantum computing. \nIn this talk\, we first discuss the important role of epitaxial superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems as an enabling materials platform. We present unprecedented values of transparency and induced gap that could allow us to reach into previously unexplored parameter regimes. In wide Josephson junctions exposed to a magnetic field\, we observe a minimum of critical current accompanied with a phase jump in the superconducting phase. We discuss this observation as a signature of a transition between trivial and topological superconductivity. These findings\, in addition to new directions in approximating edge modes\, reveal a versatile two-dimensional platform to explore mesoscopic and topological superconductivity.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Providing LGBT-Inclusive Health Care from Diagnosis Through End of Life
DESCRIPTION:Health care providers have limited knowledge and notable discomfort when engaging with individuals around issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. Practitioners in geriatric\, palliative\, and end-of-life care settings may associate care of the LGBT population with the HIV/AIDS epidemic\, which coincided with the formalization of the federal hospice benefit. While new texts continue to emerge\, the language\, legislation\, and best practices for the LGBT population are dynamic and can sometimes be controversial. Social workers have an integral role in supporting the LGBT population at end of life\, both on micro and mezzo levels. Social workers are necessary for establishing trust and providing holistic\, patient-centered palliative care that honors the patient’s wishes. They are also critical members of social service agencies\, hospitals\, and community-based programs with an important role in influencing policies\, procedures\, culture\, and organizational values. This class will be taught by Adam Schoenfarber\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, social work team manager\, MJHS Hospice and Palliative Care. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nAdam Schoenfarber is a social work team manager with MJHS Hospice and Palliative Care\, where he oversees hospice social services for adult and pediatric clients. He coordinates and supports the second-year field experience in hospice and palliative care for social work students. He is an adjunct faculty member at Fordham’s Graduate School of Social Service\, where he teaches the Palliative Social Work course. His interests focus on disenfranchised\, marginalized communities and ensuring that end-of-life providers provide relevant\, patient- and family-centered\, and culturally sensitive care. Schoenfarber obtained his Master of Science degree in social work at Columbia University School of Social Work. He completed his undergraduate studies at University of Massachusetts Amherst.

SUMMARY:The Pius XII Archives and the Jews: First Notes and Research Hypotheses
DESCRIPTION:On March 4\, 2019\, Pope Francis announced the opening of the Pius XII archives\, and on March 2\, 2020\, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic\, the archives were finally opened after decades of scholarly curiosity about what they contained. These archives\, which contain materials from Eugenio Pacelli’s pontificate from 1939-1958\, are of particular interest to those who study the history of the Holocaust\, the founding of the State of Israel\, and the Catholic Church’s involvement in both. \nThis panel discussion features scholars of Catholic-Jewish history who will share their initial research findings about the documents concerning Jews carried out in these newly opened Vatican archives\, with a focus both on the role of the Catholic Church in the Holocaust and also on the Holy See’s attitude toward the establishment of the State of Israel. Each panelist will share some of their research from the archives\, discuss their findings with one another\, and address questions from the audience. \nAbout the Speakers\nMaria Chiara Rioli is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global fellow at the universities of Ca’ Foscari in Venice and Fordham with the REL-NET project titled “Entangled Interfaith Identities and Relations from the Mediterranean to the United States: The St James Association and Its Transnational Christian-Jewish Network in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” She was previously project manager of the ERC Open Jerusalem project. Her publications include A Liminal Church: Refugees\, Conversions and the Latin Diocese of Jerusalem\, 1946–1956 (Brill\, 2020). The book introduction is available in Open Access. \nNina Valbousquet is a researcher at the Ecole Française de Rome\, working on Vatican diplomacy and Jewish organizations. Her first book\, Catholique et antisémite: Le réseau de Mgr Benigni – Rome\, Europe\, Etats-Unis\, 1918-1934\, was published by CNRS Editions (Paris) in spring 2020. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Jewish History in New York (2016-2018)\, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, D.C.\, (2018)\, and Fordham University (2019). Her articles have appeared in Revue d’Histoire Moderne et Contemporaine (2015)\, Modern Italy (2018)\, Journal of Modern Italian Studies (2019)\, Archives Juives (2018)\, and American Jewish History (2020). \nDavid Kertzer is the Dupee University Professor of Social Science at Brown University\, where he served as provost from 2006 to 2011. Among his books\, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara was a finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 1997\, and The Pope and Mussolini won the Pulitzer Prize in biography in 2015.

SUMMARY:Mika Ahuvia Discusses On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture
DESCRIPTION:Angelic beings can be found throughout the Hebrew Bible\, and by late antiquity\, the archangels Michael and Gabriel were as familiar as the patriarchs and matriarchs\, guardian angels were as present as one’s shadow\, and praise of the seraphim was as sacred as the Shema. In her book\, Mika Ahuvia demonstrates that angels were foundational to ancient Judaism. Ancient Jewish practice centered on humans’ complex relationships with these invisible beings who acted as their intermediaries\, role models\, and guardians. Bringing non-canonical sources into view—incantation bowls\, amulets\, mystical texts\, and liturgical poetry—Ahuvia shows that when ancient men and women sought access to divine aid\, they turned not only to their rabbis\, or to God alone\, but often also to the angels. On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel allows these overlooked stories\, interactions\, and rituals to take center stage\, offering a new entry point to the history of Judaism and the wider ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern world in which it flourished. \nAbout the Speaker\nAhuvia is the Marsha and Jay Glazer Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies and an assistant professor in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. She researches the formative history of Jewish and Christian communities in the ancient Mediterranean world\, specializing in rabbinic sources\, liturgical poetry\, magical texts\, early mystical literature\, and archaeological evidence. Her first book\, On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture (University of California Press\, June 2021)\, uncovers how angels made their way into the practices and worldview of ancient Jews\, and makes sense of why angels continue to play such an important role within and outside of institutional religious settings.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Final Days of Life - The Social Worker's Role
DESCRIPTION:Taught by Jennifer Halpern\, Ph.D.\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, this class will review the symptoms of pre-active and active dying and how to help the family at the bedside manage these. We’ll consider what people who are dying want and fear\, and how these concerns may change over the course of their dying. We’ll explore how decision-making and communication affect the patient’s dying experience\, including considering how hope and a poor prognosis interact. Participants will be invited to share their personal and professional introductions to death. We will also consider our strengths and weaknesses as advocates. Finally\, we will practice some easy exercises to help ourselves remain grounded despite the whirlwind of emotions around us. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of four continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nJennifer Halpern is a senior medical and certified palliative social worker based at the Oncology Support Program (OSP) of the Westchester Medical Center Network/Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley. Halpern supports both inpatients and outpatients. She is the psychosocial coordinator for the hospital’s Cancer Committee and is the chair of the Ethics Committee. Recently\, Halpern has coordinated and directed the study guide for the APHSW certification exam as the Social Work Hospice & Palliative Care Network’s (SWHPN) educational consultant. Halpern received her doctorate in social psychology/organizational behavior from University of California\, Berkeley. As an assistant professor at Cornell University\, she taught both undergraduates and professionals. \nHalpern’s publications focus on communication\, negotiation\, and decision-making. She authored two chapters in—and co-edited—Debating Rationality: Nonrational Aspects of Organizational Decision Making (Frank W. Pierce Memorial Lectureship and Conference Series\, ILR Press). She has volunteered\, been a social work intern for\, and provided business consulting services for Hospicare of Tompkins County. A move to the Hudson Valley led to her current position with the OSP\, a community-oriented program that just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: John F. Wasik on Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy
DESCRIPTION:Has there ever been a time when Abraham Lincoln has gone silent? Our immortal conscience on civil rights and individual freedom is speaking to us yet again in the time of COVID-19 and public unrest. Yet Lincoln has managed to become even more relevant as we tackle infrastructure\, health care\, climate change\, and human rights. The forthcoming book by John F. Wasik\, Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy\, puts the 16th president in a powerful new light: He was our foremost architect of economic development\, equal treatment\, and physical and intellectual improvements\, from transportation to medical research. \nIn this presentation\, Wasik will show a vastly under-studied side of Lincoln. As the only president to hold a patent\, he was an innovator. During his brief time as a surveyor\, he was an urban planner. Surprisingly\, his longest and most comprehensive speeches were devoted to the culture of invention\, “internal improvements\,” and research and development. \nLincoln as “Innovator in Chief” has enhanced relevance today\, as the new Congress and president lean into a bold program on national infrastructure\, climate change\, and health care reforms. Lincoln not only gave the nation a framework for a more just and equitable society\, he literally told us how we could go about building it. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: John F. Wasik \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nWasik is the author of 19 books and has spoken all across North America. As a journalist\, he’s written for The New York Times\, Forbes\, The Wall Street Journal\, AARP\, Barron’s\, Fortune.com\, Money\, Reader’s Digest\, and Washington Monthly\, and he has been a columnist for Bloomberg News\, Reuters\, and other national publications. In 2018\, Wasik was named an Illinois Road Scholar for the Illinois Humanities Council. \nCopies of Lincolnomics will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Jewish Ceremonial Art: Continuing the Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a program in memory of Vivian B. Mann\, featuring Reed College’s Laura Arnold Leibman and Bar-Ilan University’s Maya Balakirsky Katz in conversation with Fordham University’s Magda Teter. \nJewish ceremonial objects have been studied and collected for nearly 150 years. In the past few decades\, however\, their importance in understanding social\, historic\, and aesthetic issues in a variety of cultural contexts has begun to increase. This program is dedicated to the memory of Vivian B. Mann\, a long-time Judaica curator at The Jewish Museum in New York and head of the graduate program in Jewish Art and Visual Culture at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Among her many accomplishments\, Mann started initiatives to ensure that the rigorous study of Judaica would become part of the discourse of wider disciplines\, such as art history\, history\, and Jewish studies. Building on her legacy\, Arnold Leibman and Balakirsky Katz will each speak about a ceremonial object from the vantage point of their different disciplines\, and then engage in a conversation with Teter about the state of the field today and the possibilities for the future. \nAbout the Speakers\nArnold Leibman is a professor of English and humanities at Reed College. Her work focuses on religion and the daily lives of women and children in early America\, and uses everyday objects to help bring their stories back to life. Her latest work\, The Art of the Jewish Family\, examines objects owned by Jewish women living in New York several centuries ago in order to recreate their biographies and restore their agency as creators of Jewish identity. Another of her books\, Messianism\, Secrecy and Mysticism: A New Interpretation of Early American Jewish Life\, won the Jewish National Book Award. \nBalakirsky Katz is an associate professor of Jewish art at Bar-Ilan University. Coming from the discipline of art history\, she is interested in the relationship between perception and the psyche\, art and psychoanalysis\, visual culture\, and religion. In her 2010 book\, The Visual Culture of Chabad\, she sets out to demonstrate the importance of objects and the visual experience in the study of faith communities. She recently published Intersections between Jews and Media\, and is co-editor of Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture. \nTeter is a professor of history and the Shvilder Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (2005)\, Sinners on Trial (2011)\, and Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (2020). Her work has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, YIVO Institute\, and the Yad Ha-Nadiv Foundation. This year she is the NEH Senior Scholar at the Center for Jewish History in New York City. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Jewish Museum.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Team - Facilitating Healthy Teams
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary teams\, including palliative care teams\, are high-functioning models of effective inter/intradisciplinary work. Social workers\, nurse practitioners\, physicians\, and other integral interdisciplinary team members are united in their common goal of quality patient care\, but the lenses through which we view medical complexities may be radically different from one another. While this difference and overlap contribute to the richness of interdisciplinary care\, we must also nurture ourselves and these relationships to prevent role fatigue\, unintentional conflict\, and burnout. Healthy teams must be created and maintained. 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. \nThe class will be taught by Dana Ribeiro Miller\, M.Div.\, LCSW\, ACHP-SW. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nDana Ribeiro Miller holds a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University School of Social Work\, where she was a recipient of the Dr. Maurice V. Russell Fellowship for Medical Social Work\, a Master in Divinity from Union Theological Seminary\, and a B.S. from Rutgers University. She completed her subspecialty palliative care training via the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at Mount Sinai. Currently\, she is a palliative social worker\, a member of the ethics committee and faculty for the Palliative Medicine Fellowship\, and a member of the critical incident stress management team at NYU Winthrop University Hospital.

SUMMARY:Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism: A Book Talk with Author Paul J. Contino
DESCRIPTION:Author Paul J. Contino joins Fordham professor emeritus Terrence W. Tilley and Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director within the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures\, to discuss his book\, Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism: Finding Christ Among the Karamazovs (Cascade Books\, 2020). \nAccording to Cascade Books\, “In this book\, Paul Contino offers a theological study of Dostoevsky’s final novel\, The Brothers Karamazov. He argues that incarnational realism animates the vision of the novel and the decisions and actions of its hero\, Alyosha Fyodorovich Karamazov. The book takes a close look at Alyosha’s mentor\, the Elder Zosima\, and the way his role as a confessor and his vision of responsibility ‘to all\, for all’ develops and influences Alyosha. The remainder of the study\, which serves as a kind of reader’s guide to the novel\, follows Alyosha as he takes up the mantle of his elder\, develops as a ‘monk in the world\,’ and\, at the end of three days\, ascends in his vision of Cana. The study attends also to Alyosha’s brothers and his ministry to them: Mitya’s struggle to become a ‘new man’ and Ivan’s anguished groping toward responsibility. Finally\, Contino traces Alyosha’s generative role with the young people he encounters and his final message of hope.” \nContino is a professor at Seaver College\, Pepperdine University. He is the co-editor of Bakhtin and Religion: A Feeling for Faith (Northwestern University Press\, 2001)\, edited and introduced with Susan Felch. \nAbout the Speakers\nTerrence W. Tilley\, Ph.D.\, is a professor emeritus of theology at Fordham. He previously taught at the University of Dayton\, Florida State University\, St. Michael’s College\, and Georgetown University. He has edited three books and authored 10 books\, scores of academic articles and chapters\, and more than 100 book reviews. For more than 20 years\, at least biennially\, he taught a graduate seminar on the problem of evil\, reading The Brothers Karamazov with colleagues and graduate students as part of those seminars. His most recent article is “The Fragility of Grace in the Karamazov World—And in Ours\,” published in the journal Theological Studies in December 2020. He received the John Courtney Murray Lifetime Achievement Award from the Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA) in 2012. He was elected president of the CTSA\, the College Theology Society\, and the Society for Philosophy of Religion. \nMichael Ossorgin\, Ph.D.\, teaches Russian and comparative literature\, art\, theology\, and language courses at Fordham University at Lincoln Center. He has published articles on Dostoevsky’s The Idiot and Notes From the Dead House. He is currently writing a book about the role of vision in Dostoevsky’s poetics\, including individual chapters on Smerdiakov and Zosima from The Brothers Karamazov. He has been awarded Orthodox Christian Studies Center (OCSC) grants to design and teach OCSC-credited courses\, including The Apocalypse: Russian and American Visions and The Russian Icon in Dialogue with the Arts. He is currently teaching a comparative course\, Dostoevsky and Race in America\, and will begin teaching the first of three summer courses in “The Great Russian Minds Series” this June on Mikhail Bakhtin\, made possible with a grant from OCSC. Ossorgin is a member of the Dostoevsky Readers Advisory Board of the North American Dostoevsky Society. \nThis webinar is sponsored with support from the North American Dostoevsky Society and the Fordham Russian Forum. It is a part of the 2020-2021 North American Dostoevsky Society Bicentennial Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Dilemma of Bombing Auschwitz: Support\, Opposition\, and Reservation
DESCRIPTION:The deportation of Jews from Hungary to Auschwitz-Birkenau began in May 1944. Since Auschwitz-Birkenau was located within the range of the Allies’ bomber aircraft\, demands were being made to bomb the site. But Auschwitz was never destroyed by the allies. The failure to bomb Auschwitz-Birkenau became a symbol of the powerlessness of the free world and of the Jewish leadership to rescue the Jews of Europe. \nBased on archival documents related to the work of American Jewish activists involved in the issue of bombing the camp\, above all Leon Kubowitzki\, who headed the World Jewish Congress’s Rescue Department\, Zohar Segev will offer a new understanding of the issue. The archival documents reveal that Jewish and Zionist leadership requested that the U.S. not bomb Auschwitz and instead seek to examine other forms of military action that could be employed against the camp. The findings show us the importance of re-examination and reformulation of our knowledge and understanding regarding the Holocaust in light of new sources. \nAbout the Speaker\nSegev is a professor of Jewish history at the University of Haifa and teaches courses on American Jewish history and Zionist history\, and he is also the head of the Wolfson Chair in Jewish Religious Thought and Heritage. He is the author of From Ethnic Politicians to National Leaders. American Zionist Leadership\, the Holocaust and the Establishment of Israel (2007) and The World Jewish Congress During the Holocaust: Between Activism and Restraint (2014). This year\, he is a Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies\, working on a project titled “Philanthropy\, Politics\, and the Shaping of a Nation: The Nathan Straus Papers in the NYPL.” \nThis event is a joint initiative of Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies and the New York Public Library and is a part of the Fordham-NYPL Joint Research Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: George G. Szpiro on Risky Decisions: How Mathematical Paradoxes and Other Conundrums Have Shaped Economic Science
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, economics is about making decisions. In the history of economic thought\, great intellectual prowess has been exerted toward devising exquisite theories of optimal decision-making in situations of constraint\, risk\, and scarcity. Yet not all of our choices are purely logical\, so there is a long-standing tension between those emphasizing the rational and irrational sides of human behavior. One strand develops formal models of rational utility-maximizing\, while the other draws on what behavioral science has shown about our tendency to act irrationally. \nIn this talk\, George Szpiro will give examples of mathematical paradoxes and psychological conundrums that have led to advancements in economic science. He will challenge the audience with questions about how to make decisions\, thereby showing how people who believe themselves to be rational can be led astray. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: George G. Szpiro \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGeorge G. Szpiro is an award-winning author and journalist. A longtime correspondent for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung\, his many books include Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy\, from Plato to the Present (2010) and Pricing the Future: Finance\, Physics\, and the 300-Year Journey to the Black-Scholes Equation (2011). \nCopies of Risky Business will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Family and Other Fictions in Late-Ancient Jewish Society
DESCRIPTION:The recourse to “family law” and the language of personal status has often reproduced ahistorical concepts of family and household in the study of ancient Judaism. How did notions of mutuality and reciprocity become so embedded in the discourse about rabbinic management of women’s labor and reproduction? This talk\, presented by Pratima Gopalakrishnan\, considers what other questions we might ask about these texts once the primacy of a certain kind of “family” is challenged. \nAbout the Speaker\nGopalakrishnan is a scholar of late-antique Jewish religion and history who uses theoretical approaches drawn from feminist and queer theory\, and slavery and labor studies. She works primarily with late-antique rabbinic Jewish texts\, as well as the textual and material artifacts of late-antique and early medieval legal cultures\, and considers how ostensibly economic ancient discussions—of the household\, the agricultural field\, but also the laboring body itself—were always imbricated with the projects of defining religious\, ethnic\, and sexual difference. Gopalakrishnan received her Ph.D. from the religious studies department at Yale University\, where she wrote a dissertation titled “Domestic Labor and Marital Obligations in the Ancient Jewish Household.” She is currently the Perilman Post-Doctoral fellow at the Duke Center for Jewish Studies. \nThe Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award Lecture is presented in partnership with Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Pain Management - An Overview of Social Work's Potential to Enhance Care
DESCRIPTION:Pain is a multidimensional construct affected by biological\, psychological\, social\, spiritual\, and cultural factors. Health social workers have an enormous opportunity to influence the historical and current barriers to managing pain\, including the racial and gender disparities that continue to impact care and access. Managing pain in collaboration with interprofessional colleagues requires an understanding of ethical challenges and the current political and public policy landscape surrounding pain management and opioid use. This landscape makes access more complex\, demanding expert assessment and treatment plans to maximize effectiveness\, with attention to structures to enhance safe prescribing. In addition to defining pain and associated suffering\, participants will gain an awareness of the ethical\, clinical\, and policy aspects that invite social work advocacy and intervention\, which are reinforced by the foundational principles of environmental context. \nThis class will be taught by Terry Altilio\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, and Bridget Sumser\, LCSW\, AHPSW-C. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructors\nTerry Altilio is a palliative social work consultant with more than three decades of direct practice experience in palliative care\, most recently in the Division of Palliative Care at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. She was a recipient of a Mayday Pain and Society Fellowship Award in 2006 and a Social Work Leadership award from the Open Society Institute’s Project on Death in America\, which supported a post-graduate social work fellowship and a social work listserv\, both of which are continuing programs. In 2013\, Altilio was selected to receive the Project on Death in America Career Achievement Award from the Social Work Hospice and Palliative Network. She lectures nationally and internationally on such topics as pain management\, ethics\, palliative care\, and psychosocial issues in palliative care. She also lectures in post-master’s degree programs at NYU and Smith College\, and is a guest faculty member of an internet course through California State University San Marcos. She is co-editor\, with Shirley Otis-Green\, of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work and\, with Bridget Sumser and Meaghan Leimena\, Palliative Care – A Guide for Health Social Workers. \nBridget Sumser became a social worker to help people living with serious illness and facing the end of life. Over the course of the last 10 years\, she has worked across settings\, supporting and advocating for patients\, families\, and community members affected by illness and facing the end of life. She received her M.S.W. from NYU Silver School of Social Work and completed a post-graduate fellowship in palliative social work at Beth Israel Medical Center. She is a Sojourn Scholar with the CAMBIA Health Foundation. In addition to her clinical work\, she is a writer\, educator\, and co-edited Palliative Care: A Guide for Health Social Workers (Oxford University Press\, 2019). Her practice is rooted in a commitment to social justice and understanding illness\, and caregiving within the context of a unique life. Above all\, she looks to promote connection and well-being.

SUMMARY:The Land of Israel or Syria Palestina: Reconceptualization of Territory in Rabbinic Literature
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will examine the halakhic definition of the Land of Israel and its surroundings\, particularly the halakhic status of the northern territory of Syria. By analyzing several rabbinic sources\, it will discuss a few theoretical models with which the rabbis attempted to define Syria and its relation to the Land of Israel\, including some conceptual and interpretative shifts within the Palestinian rabbinic corpus itself: from the Mishnah to the Tosefta and the Palestinian Talmud. These different models and the discourse around them provide a glimpse of how the rabbinic community in third- and fourth-century Roman Palestine reconceived their provincial space as it underwent significant political\, demographic\, and economic changes\, and a key prism through which this community’s identity struggle under Rome is reflected. \nAbout the Speaker\nHanan Mazeh is a Kreitman Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at Ben-Gurion University. His research interrogates textual and thematic developments in rabbinic literature as a key to deepen our understanding of the rabbinic society in the first centuries CE within its cultural context. His particular interest is with the Palestinian Talmud and in questions of territory and relations between Jews and Gentiles in Roman Palestine.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Studies Book Club: The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Using familiar sources\, such as the Psalms\, Ben Sira\, and Jubilees\, Eva Mroczek tells an unfamiliar story about sacred writing not bound in the Bible. In listening to the way ancient writers describe their own literature—rife with their own metaphors and narratives about writing—The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity (2016) also argues for greater suppleness in our own scholarly imagination\, no longer bound by modern canonical and bibliographic assumptions. Join us for this event featuring Mroczek in conversation with two scholars of ancient Judaism\, Karina Martin Hogan and Karen Stern. \nThe Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity was a winner of the 2017 Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise; the 2017 George A. and Jean S. DeLong Book History Book Prize\, and a finalist for the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award from the Association of Jewish Studies. \nAbout the Speakers\nMroczek is an associate professor of religious studies at the University of California\, Davis. She is the author of numerous articles about the Hebrew Bible\, Second Temple Judaism\, the Dead Sea Scrolls\, and the history of Jews and Christians in antiquity. \nMartin Hogan is an associate professor of Biblical studies and ancient Judaism in the theology department at Fordham University. She is the author of Theologies in Conflict in 4 Ezra: Wisdom Debate and Apocalyptic Solution (2008)\, and the co-editor of Pedagogy in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity (2017) and The “Other” in Second Temple Judaism (2011). \nStern is a professor of history at Brooklyn College. She is the author of Writing on the Wall: Graffiti and the Forgotten Jews of Antiquity (2018) and has conducted archaeological research throughout the Mediterranean region\, including Petra\, Sepphoris\, Pylos\, and Athens. \nThe Jewish Studies Book Club is a joint initiative of The CUNY-Graduate Center and Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Why Is Nonprofit Leadership So White?
DESCRIPTION:An enduring reality in New York City’s nonprofit human services sector is that the top executive positions at the majority of human services organizations are held by people who identify as white. However\, in most cases\, these agencies predominantly serve people and communities of color. \nThe visibility of leaders of color within nonprofit organizations is significant to those organizations’ client communities and staff members\, as well as aspiring social work leaders. And while people of color have steadily risen to positions of responsibility within these organizations\, CEO\, president\, and executive director titles seem to elude black\, indigenous\, and people of color (BIPOC) professionals. \nIn this panel discussion\, a diverse group of nonprofit leaders will explore the factors impacting who holds these positions and identify ways in which agencies must adapt in order to address racial disparities in leadership. Additionally\, the discussion will provide the information and next steps needed by schools of social work to inform educational curriculum\, and will prepare students to advocate and organize around diversity and representation in nonprofit leadership. \nPanelists \nCristina Contreras\, M.S.W.\, M.P.A.\, executive director\, NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx \nJess Dannhauser\, M.S.W.\, president and CEO\, Graham Windham \nDamyn Kelly\, J.D.\, Ph.D.\, president and CEO\, Lutheran Social Services of NY \nMaria Lizardo\, L.M.S.W.\, executive director\, Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation \nCurrent Fordham Graduate School of Social Service M.S.W. students Shadequa Hampton and Jolisa Beavers will moderate.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Kevin R. Mirabile on Exotic Alternative Investments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Kevin R. Mirabile\, author of Exotic Alternative Investments: Standalone Characteristics\, Unique Risks and Portfolio Effects (Anthem Press\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Multiple-Identity Politics: The Passing Narratives of Dahn Ben-Amotz
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award Lecture in partnership with Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies. The lecture will feature Roy Holler\, an assistant professor of Israel Studies in the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida\, and Gibel Mevorach\, a professor of anthropology and American studies at Grinnell College. \nIn 1938\, Mussia Thilimzogger’s parents put their 13-year-old son on a boat from Poland to Palestine. Three years later\, they perished in the Holocaust. Alone\, rejected\, and failing to fit in\, the young Jewish Polish immigrant adopted a new biography\, changed his birthplace from Rivne to Tel-Aviv\, and Hebracized his foreign-sounding name into Dahn Ben-Amotz (1924-1989). Ben-Amotz was one of many immigrants forced to change their identities and conform to the Zionist vision of the Hebrew: heroic and rough idealist\, with a shared hatred of the Jewish diaspora. With his new persona\, Ben-Amotz became a cultural icon for generations. But this author who shaped Israeli culture was haunted by little Mussia to his very last day\, and the central trauma in his 1968 autobiographical novel\, Lizkor veliskoakh (To Remember\, to Forget)\, was not the Holocaust\, but his own act of passing. \nFor the purposes of this talk\, passing describes the turning away from the Jewish past to belong to a new Hebrew identity in Israel. Focusing on the integrationist demands of the Zionist narrative and the transformations of Jewish identities\, this talk will introduce the concept of passing to Ben-Amotz’s novel\, arguing that the resettlement of the Jewish diaspora in Palestine did more than move physical bodies in and out of the land: It also called for the erasure and restructuring of one’s identity in an effort to create a new Israeli culture and an improved Jewish race. Ben-Amotz’s fiction is obsessed with lost identities\, showing that when a Jew wished to pass as a Hebrew\, all prior ethnicities\, memories\, languages\, and cultural heritage had to be erased. \nAbout the Speakers \nHoller received his M.A. and Ph.D. in comparative literature from Indiana University\, Bloomington\, and his B.A. in English from the City University of New York. His current book project\, Passing and the Politics of Identity in Israeli and African American Literatures\, explores the phenomenon of passing in a comparative context. A part of a chapter from this project is forthcoming in Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History. \nGibel Mevorach received her B.A. and M.A. in African Studies from Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. She is the author of Black\, Jewish and Interracial: It’s Not the Color of Your Skin but the Race of Your Kin\, and Other Myths of Identity (1997)\, and her articles\, review essays\, and position papers have appeared in journals including American Anthropologist\, American Ethnologist\, Biography\, Developing World Bioethics\, Identities\, Cultural Studies\, Research in African Literatures\, נוגה (Noga: Israeli Feminist Journal)\, עתון אחר (Iton Aher)\, and The Jerusalem Post (Israel).
