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

SUMMARY:Opening of “Binders of the Covenant” Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the exhibition\, “Binders of the Covenant\,” which brings to life the story of Torah binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust. 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.
