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.

SUMMARY:Honoring History: San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood Film Screening and Panel
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts\, we invite you to join us for a special film screening and panel of San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood at our Lincoln Center campus. \nDirected by Emmy Award winner Stanley Nelson and narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose\, this moving documentary explores the history of San Juan Hill—a vibrant\, diverse community that once thrived where Lincoln Center now stands.

SUMMARY:“Aleppian Wedding”—Songs from Shared Traditions: A Concert with the Aleppo Ensemble and Mohamed Alsiadi
DESCRIPTION:Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies and the Arabic Studies Program present “Aleppian Wedding” Songs from Shared Traditions by the Aleppo Ensemble. \nThe Aleppo Ensemble is a New York-based group devoted to performing and preserving the rich heritage of wasla music\, song\, poetry\, and dance from Aleppo. The group’s mission has been made all the more urgent in recent years with the physical and cultural destruction of Aleppo\, long the cultural capital of Syria where Muslim\, Christian\, and Jewish traditions came together. \nThrough their work\, they strive to reach Syrian refugees as well as Syrian Americans whose history in the U.S. goes back over a hundred years\, two groups that share the fear that they are witnessing the destruction of their homeland. The Aleppo Ensemble’s music and story is a timely reminder that cultural traditions are often deeply held across time and place\, often in spite of historic humanitarian crises. \nThe wasla is a musical suite that is the focal point for evening gatherings devoted to traditional Arab classical music. Dating back hundreds of years\, the Aleppian wasla is heard at both Sufi religious events and secular performances. Based on various Syrian and Arabic maqams (modes)\, the wasla includes both improvised and composed instrumental and vocal pieces. \nThe Aleppo Ensemble was founded by Mohamed Alsiadi\, Ph.D.\, an oud virtuoso\, who grew up in a music-loving Sufi household in Syria. Living through the civil war that ravaged the country from 1979 to 1982 made him realize the need to preserve the legacy of Aleppian waslas. \nAfter that war concluded his mother found a box of wasla cassettes that he came to treasure. Alsiadi spent eight years studying with oud master Nadim Al Darwish\, the son of Ali Al Darwish\, an early 20th century musician and scholar who has been called one of Aleppo’s most famous musical sons. Alsiadi began collecting and transcribing waslas from Syrian musicians and radio stations while also launching an accomplished career as a performer and academic. \nIn 1996 Alsiadi moved to the United States\, where he is now a senior lecturer in Arabic at Fordham. He co-founded the Aleppo Ensemble with percussionist A. P. Joseph\, whose grandparents immigrated from Syria to the United States. \nAs the city and culture of Aleppo are once again suffering from the devastating effects of the Syrian war\, Alsiadi has brought its music to venues as prestigious as Carnegie Hall\, where he has performed with his collaborator\, the pianist and composer Malek Jandali. But also part of his mission is posting videos of waslas on YouTube where Syrian refugees around the world can see them. ‘ \n‘Wasla is one of the few things they cannot destroy” says Alsiadi\, ”because you cannot shoot music. You cannot kill music. Words sway thoughts\, music moves hearts\, and together they can spur action and affect the course of history.”

SUMMARY:Guiding Hands for Sacred Scripts: Torah Pointers\, Art\, and Contexts
DESCRIPTION:The act of beautifying or enhancing mitzvot and Jewish ritual is reflected in the rabbinic idea of hiddur mitzvah. One who enhances a holy act and a ritual object with aesthetic and pleasing design is fulfilling this directive. As suggested in Psalm 29: “Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Make each object functional\, as well as beautiful\, with fine materials\, craftsmanship\, and artistry and you shall be glorifying God. \nAccording to the medieval rabbi Moses Maimonides\, there is a special mitzvah to beautify a sefer Torah\, a Torah scroll\, the holiest object in Judaism. Over the centuries\, special elements were created to beautify the sefer Torah. One of them is a Torah pointer\, or a yad. Because the Torah scroll is considered so holy that it cannot be directly touched\, the Torah pointer is used in the ritual reading of the Torah to keep the reader from directly touching the parchment. \nThe exhibit “Guiding Hands for Sacred Scripts: Torah Pointers\, Art\, and Contexts\, Torah Pointers from the Barr Foundation Collection” highlights Torah yads from different regions and times. Some were created as functional pointers\, but others\, less functional\, 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. The exhibit also engages with the idea of what Jewish art is: art created for ritual use and art inspired by Jewish texts and traditions. It explores different materials and interpretations of the Torah yad and places them in conversation with other historical artifacts: medieval manuscripts and printed books from Fordham’s Special Collections and Archives. \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 their devotion to art. Through the lens of modernism\, Ben Zion\, a multi-media artist\, demonstrated that expressionism can be used for a sacred purpose. He aimed to make his deep knowledge of Jewish heritage accessible and meaningful to a wider audience. So\, too\, Rosenstein\, who used bold colors and flowing Hebrew calligraphy to transform sacred texts and concepts to express their beauty through joyfulness and spirituality. \nThis exhibit has been made possible by the Hadassah R. Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham and the Barr Family Foundation. \nThe opening is on Sunday\, September 14 at 4:30 p.m. at the Walsh Family Library\, O’Hare Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Filming Words – Nurith Aviv: Screenings and Conversations\, Day 4
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of From Language to Language (2004) and Allenby\, Passage (2001) with Nurith Aviv in conversation with Gil Anidjar\, Yemane Demissie\, Cynthia Madansky\, and Richard Peña \nCo-sponsored by Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies\, Centro Primo Levi\, and Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture \nThe transformation of Hebrew from a language set apart to the common speech of a nation happened within a handful of decades. Yet this triumph came at a cost: the erasure\, sometimes violent\, of the languages that once lived in its speakers’ minds and mouths. From Language to Language (2004) gathers a chorus of exiles of language—poets\, writers\, singers\, and actors—who search for new roots as they remain wooed by the echoes of the past.   \nIn Allenby\, Passage (2001)\, an oneiric video essay\, the director retraces her father’s steps along a passage of Allenby Street in Tel Aviv\, where he once bought his photographic equipment. Amid the rustling of chatter rising from the street\, the camera turns its gaze to fleeting details\, intercepted in their evanescence. As Aviv once described her work as a cinematographer\, this film attempts to capture the “beats of time.” \nNurith Aviv (Tel Aviv\, Mandatory Palestine\, 1945) has directed ​​18 documentary films. Her works investigate language and move lyrically through the landscapes\, collective myths\, and intimate narratives that shape humans’ ways of being together. The first woman to be a director of photography in France\, she has shot a hundred fiction and documentary films with directors such as Agnès Varda\, Amos Gitai\, René Allio\, and Jacques Doillon. She has received important prizes\, including the Edouard Glissant Prize (2009) and the Grand Prix de l’Académie française (2019). Her works have been shown in multiple retrospectives in Paris\, including a week-long one last month.

SUMMARY:Filming Words – Nurith Aviv: Screenings and Conversations\, Day 3
DESCRIPTION:A screening of Words That Remain (2022​) and Bruly Bouabré’s Alphabet (2005) with Nurith Aviv in conversation with Gil Anidjar\, Yemane Demissie\, Cynthia Madansky\, James Redfield\, and Moulie Vidas\nCo-sponsored by Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies\, Centro Primo Levi\, and Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture \nWords That Remain  (2022)\nWhat is a mother tongue? In this film six voices call forth memories of the languages that shaped their childhoods: Judaeo-Spanish\, Judaeo-Arabic\, and Judaeo-Persian—each infused with lexical elements of Hebrew and written in the Hebrew script. Though these languages are fading\, their melodies\, cadences\, and intonations linger\, shaping the consciousnesses of those who once heard them in their homes. \nBruly Bouabré’s Alphabet (2005)\nWhat remains of a language when no one is left to speak it? In the Ivory Coast\, some 600\,000 Bété people communicate mainly in a language that is absent from their schools\, overshadowed by the dominance of French. In the 1950s\, artist Frédéric Bruly Bouabré sought to change that. He devised hundreds of pictograms\, drawn from the simple syllables of Bété\, to help his people claim the written word. Now in old age\, he reflects on his mission: to craft an African script born from the images of daily life\, preserving in symbols what speech alone could not. \nNurith Aviv (Tel Aviv\, Mandatory Palestine\, 1945) has directed ​​18 documentary films. Her works investigate language and move lyrically through the landscapes\, collective myths\, and intimate narratives that shape humans’ ways of being together. The first woman to be a director of photography in France\, she has shot a hundred fiction and documentary films with directors such as Agnès Varda\, Amos Gitai\, René Allio\, and Jacques Doillon. She has received important prizes\, including the Edouard Glissant Prize (2009) and the Grand Prix de l’Académie française (2019). Her works have been shown in multiple retrospectives in Paris\, including a week-long one last month. She has been the subject of a movie (Woman with a Camera by Zohar Behrendt\, 2023) and now of a book (Filmer la Parole\, 2025). \nThis tribute\, the fruit of a collaboration between the Fordham University Center for Jewish Studies\, the Primo Levi Center\, and the Fordham Center on Religious and Culture\, is the first of its kind in New York City. It will gather Aviv’s long-time fans\, newcomers to her work\, and lovers of language from all backgrounds to celebrate through images and words this exceptional director as she turns 80.

SUMMARY:Filming Words – Nurith Aviv: Screenings and Conversations\, Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Sacred Tongue\, Profane Language (2008)\, with Nurith Aviv in conversation with Ofer Dynes\, Aviya Kushner\, Jacques Lezra\, and Moulie Vidas \nCo-sponsored by Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies\, Centro Primo Levi\, and Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture \nHebrew was the language of Scripture\, liturgy\, and rabbinic commentaries for centuries. Then\, by force of national and political will\, it was reborn as a language of daily life in the early 20th century. Writers and artists from Israel explore their intimate\, often conflicted relationship with Hebrew’s layered past\, reflecting on what has been forgotten or repressed and what needs to resurface. Their confessions overlap and part\, as the film allows no single version of this history prevails. \nTickets for all four events in this series are free for Fordham University’s and Centro Primo Levi’s guests who register by April 15. Starting on April 16th\, tickets will be available for sale for $20 or $10 (students and seniors discount). \nNurith Aviv (Tel Aviv\, Mandatory Palestine\, 1945) has directed ​​18 documentary films.
