The exhibit spotlights 25 historic binders that survived the Shoah and explores their significance for European Jewry\, genealogy\, and why they have relevance in today’s world. Two officials from the Czech Republic Consulate in New York will be in attendance: Consul General Karel Smékal and Deputy Consul General Michal Kaplan. \nIn 1964\, 1\,564 Torah scrolls arrived at the synagogue building in Knightsbridge\, London. These sacred survivors of the Shoah had survived a journey from small towns and large cities in Bohemia and Moravia\, the land near Prague\, to a new life in the Jewish diaspora. The Torah scrolls are now part of the Memorial Scroll Trust. With the scrolls came also hundreds of Torah binders used to wrap the actual parchment under the ornate Torah cover. Many\, typically hand-sewn by women\, offer biographical inscriptions creating tangible connections with the families–men\, women\, and children–of the past. These Torah binders make up one of the largest collections of this sort in the world. \nThe exhibition “Binders of the Covenant” at Fordham University\, curated by Warren Klein\, Amy Levine-Kennedy\, and Magda Teter\, is the first time that these precious textiles will be shown in the United States. \nThe binders are shown alongside photographs of the towns from which some of them came by Sheila Pallay and a contemporary reinterpretation of the tradition by artist Rachel Kanter. \nThe exhibit is made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham\, the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Collection Endowment\, and the Henry S. Miller Student Research in Jewish Studies Endowment\, and the Memorial Scrolls Trust. It is co-presented in partnership with the Leo Baeck Institute of New York. \nThe exhibit will be on view at the Walsh Family Library on the main floor and on the 4th floor in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room from March 17 to May 30\, 2026.

Ultimately\, the series is a cinematic pretext for hanging out\, eating\, and talking—a communal exercise where we discuss\, discover\, and sometimes disagree\, which is all part of the experience. \nAbout the first screening this semester:\nSilence\, directed in 2016 by Martin Scorsese\, is a historical drama about belief\, doubt\, and perseverance. It follows two 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit priests who travel to Japan to find their mentor\, rumored to have committed apostasy. Amidst brutal persecution of Christians\, they face tests of faith and experience immense physical and psychological suffering. Silence deftly explores themes of cultural conflict\, the nature of internal faith versus public depictions\, power\, colonial expansion\, and the Tokugawa Shogunate’s perspective on foreign subversion. With a deliberate pace\, Silence is an extended and nuanced meditation on a complex question rather than a swift\, superficial filmic answer. \nPanelists:\nFather George Drance\, S.J.\, Artist-in-Residence\, Theatre Program; Father Michael Zampelli\, S.J.\, Associate Professor\, Theatre Program; and Professor James McCartin\, Associate Professor\, Department of Theology and Dean Fellow. Moderated by Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock\, Head of Visual Arts. Open to all\, with pizza and a raffle prize. \nThe Office of the Arts and Sciences Dean invites you to step outside your regular streaming queue\, experience something different\, and join a community of curious film lovers throughout the year.

Those policies have been replaced today with expansive and unchecked power\, allowing ICE agents to deport migrants and separate families\, leaving children traumatized and emotionally adrift when family members are detained or deported. \nThese paintings take us into their world. The young artists who created the exhibit answered one question with their brush strokes: What do you think about the border? ¿Qué opinas de la frontera? The images reveal a longing for home\, the experience of journeying\, feelings of hopefulness\, and\, finally\, the disillusionment of border realities. Seven years after these images were painted\, the relevance and timeliness remain profoundly impactful. \nThis exhibit is a collaborative effort initiated by Skidmore College Teaching Professor Diana Barnes\, PhD. It was organized in Juárez by Lucca de Alba\, a dedicated advocate for migrants in her city and a well-known children’s author. NGO volunteers from Seguimos Adelante\, and El Paso muralist Cimi Alvarado\, along with a team of volunteers\, accompanied the children in August 2019. \nVisit and Contact: For group or class visits\, please email the Refuge Gallery Lead Curator\, Vincent Stracuadanio\, at vstracquadan@fordham.edu.

The four-film series begins on Jan. 27 with a screening and discussion of A Life Apart: Hasidism in America\, the first in-depth\, documentary portrait of the daily life\, beliefs\, and history of contemporary Hasidic Jews in New York City\, exploring conflicts\, burdens\, and rewards of the Hasidic way of life. \nAyala Fader\, PhD\, professor of anthropology; Oren Rudavsky\, co-director and producer of A Life Apart; Marty Dornbaum\, producer of A Life Apart; and Rifke Daum\, Menachem Daum’s wife\, will take part in a post-screening discussion. \nThe remaining films in the series include Hiding and Seeking on Feb. 3\, The Ruins of Lifta on Feb. 9\, and Memory Keepers on Feb. 17. \nAbout Menachem Daum \nMenachem Daum\, a child of survivors of the Holocaust\, stumbled upon a family story in the Polish town of Dzialoszyce that would change the course of his life. His films explore his quest to find common ground between Jews and non-Jews\, Orthodox Jews and secular Jews\, Polish Catholics and Polish Jews\, as well as between Palestinians and Holocaust Survivors. His Orthodox upbringing as a child of survivors born in a DP camp and brought up in Schenectady and mostly in New York City\, and his early encounters at Brooklyn College with secular Jews\, as well as in New York with Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach\, led him on his first journey to Poland in the late 1980s. Carlebach’s outreach to the Polish people was in total contradiction to his experience with his own survivor community\, who often had disdain for their former Polish neighbors. That experience inspired him to re-examine his own viewpoints and to embark on a lifelong search for a way to bridge the often insurmountable gaps between people. Equally central to Menachem’s lifelong search was seeking to understand his father’s faith after losing his wife and a child during the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis. This search led to his exploration of the Hasidic Jewish community and its rebirth in the United States. For over 20 years\, Menachem travelled repeatedly to Poland\, seeking out “memory keepers\,” Polish Catholics and Jews who sought to preserve Jewish memory and bring Jewish life and culture back to Poland\, where it was decimated. \n  URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/film-screening-a-life-apart-hasidism-in-america/ LOCATION:McNally Amphitheatre\, 140 West 62nd Street\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts at Fordham,Cultural,Inside Fordham,Jewish Life,Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Menachem-and-Carrie-Burns_Jerusalem-2012_fot-by-Kamila-Klauzinska-1536x829-4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Center for Jewish Studies":MAILTO:jewishstudies@fordham.edu GEO:40.7713958;-73.9844894 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=McNally Amphitheatre 140 West 62nd Street New York NY 10023 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=140 West 62nd Street:geo:-73.9844894,40.7713958 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260123T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260123T170000 DTSTAMP:20260615T003825 CREATED:20260109T203154Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T193219Z UID:10013934-1769184000-1769187600@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:AAST Common Book Event: Kay Sohini's 'This Beautiful\, Ridiculous City' DESCRIPTION:Join the Asian American Studies Program for a conversation with Kay Sohini\, PhD\, about her graphic memoir\, This Beautiful\, Ridiculous City (2025)\, along with refreshments\, a book signing\, and a Q&A.

There will be a reception for the exhibition on December 16th at 6 p.m. in the Butler Gallery. \n“Then and Now” Artist’s Statement \nThese paintings in the Butler Gallery coincide with my retirement and present a mixture of my current work and a varied group of paintings I made during the years spent teaching visual arts at Fordham. The mixture of new and old paintings in the studio serve to document changes in terms of the juncture between abstraction and image\, my techniques and issues of style and scale. In many ways this is the model of the individual and group progression in a visual arts studio class. \nI believe that all of us are working to see something we’ve never seen before. \nIn an artist’s working art studio\, there are always paintings that\, for a variety of reasons\, get stacked behind other paintings\, but are still definitely a presence and quietly in view. \nThese stored paintings add to the familiar and comfortable atmosphere of the working space while also being a quietly tangible documentation of the progress of all new paintings on the easel. \nHalf of this group of paintings in the gallery are current works. The other paintings are from mixed years during the time that I was teaching at Fordham. \nI was learning as I was teaching.—David Storey URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/then-and-now-paintings-by-david-storey/ LOCATION:Ildiko Butler Gallery\, 113 West 60th Street\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts at Fordham,Cultural ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Image_20251204_132138_032-1-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Vincent Stracquadanio":MAILTO:vstracquadan@fordham.edu GEO:40.7708109;-73.9851512 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ildiko Butler Gallery 113 West 60th Street New York NY 10023 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 West 60th Street:geo:-73.9851512,40.7708109 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251123T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251123T163000 DTSTAMP:20260615T003825 CREATED:20250827T115225Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251103T002113Z UID:10013307-1763910000-1763915400@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Tour of the Exhibit: “Guiding Hands for Sacred Scripts: Torah Pointers\, Art\, and Contexts” DESCRIPTION:Join us for the tour of the exhibit “Guiding Hands for Sacred Scripts: Torah Pointers\, Art\, and Contexts” of Torah yads\, or pointers\, from different regions and times. Some were created as functional pointers\, but others are works of art\, inspired by the idea of what a pointer is. All\, however\, are connected to the idea of beautifying religious ritual and showing the importance of the Torah in the Jewish tradition. \nIn addition to the Barr Foundation Yad Collection\, we are pleased to have on view the work of two 20th-century American artists\, Ben Zion and Mordechai Rosenstein. These painters/sculptors sought to convey Jewish concepts through the art that consumed their existence. They expressed the directive of hiddur mitzvah through exploration of Jewish themes and values in different media. \nThis exhibit has been made possible by the Hadassah R. Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham and the Barr Family Foundation and was curated by Miriam Krakowski FCRH’27\, Amy Levine-Kennedy\, and Magda Teter.\nIt continues through Dec. 18.
