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.

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:Distinguished Lecture Series: Katrin Kogman-Appel\, “Medieval Passover Haggadah: From Rituals to Illuminations\,” Session II
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. \nSchedule for Session Two \n4 – 5:30 p.m.: An in-person workshop with Katrin Kogman-Appel at Walsh Library\, 4th Floor\, Archives and Special Collections \nA hands-on\, in-person-only workshop and open house focusing on haggadot from Fordham’s Collection at Archives and Special Collections in Walsh Library\, 4th Floor at Fordham’s Rose Hill Campus. \n6 p.m.: Lecture\, Walsh Library\, 4th Floor\, O’Hare Room (in-person and online) \n“The Book and the Seder II: The Birth of the Stand-Alone Haggadah and its Early History” \nPart two of this lecture series explores the ways in which the haggadah differs from all other books\, general prayerbooks in particular. For instance\, one might ask\, Why was it unpractical to use a Siddur during the seder? In this lecture\, Katrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, will seek to answer such questions through a material-study approach. Not all stand-alone haggadot are the same. Rather\, a whole range of haggadot emerged since the 12th century: tiny booklets\, plain haggadot\, extremely lavish haggadot with first-rate paintings\, illustrated haggadot with less lavish but abundant marginal vignettes\, and so on. In this lecture we shall look at the early beginnings of the stand-alone haggadah and follow its developments into a whole variety of book types. \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).

SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: Memory Keepers
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents a retrospective of Menachem Daum’s compelling and challenging films. The four-film series concludes on Feb. 17 with a screening and discussion of Memory Keepers\, an unfinished film\, with Aleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias\, Kamila Klauzińska\, and Oren Rudavsky. \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\, and\, 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 twenty 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.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Strangers in the Land by Michael Luo
DESCRIPTION:Strangers in the Land tells the story of a people who\, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century\, migrated by the tens of thousands to a distant land they called Gum Shan­—Gold Mountain. Americans initially welcomed these Chinese arrivals\, but\, as their numbers grew\, horrific episodes of racial terror erupted on the Pacific coast. A prolonged economic downturn that idled legions of white workingmen helped create the conditions for what came next: a series of progressively more onerous federal laws aimed at excluding Chinese laborers from the country\, marking the first time the United States barred a people based on their race. In a captivating debut\, Michael Luo\, an executive editor of The New Yorker and a former New York Times reporter\, follows the Chinese from these early years to modern times\, as they persisted in the face of bigotry and persecution\, revealing anew the complications of our multiracial democracy. \nIn 1889\, while upholding Chinese exclusion\, Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Field characterized Chinese immigrants as “strangers in the land.” Only in 1965 did America’s gates swing open to people like Luo’s parents\, immigrants from Taiwan. Today\, there are more than 22 million people of Asian descent in the United States\, and yet the “stranger” label\, Luo writes\, remains. Drawing on archives from across the country and written with a New Yorker writer’s style and sweep\, Strangers in the Land is revelatory and unforgettable\, an essential American story. It has been honored as a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker\, The Washington Post\, TIME\, Bloomberg\, Businessweek\, Kirkus Reviews\, and Library Journal\, and is longlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.

SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: The Ruins of Lifta
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents a retrospective of Menachem Daum’s compelling and challenging films. The four-film series continues on Feb. 9 with a screening and discussion of The Ruins of Lifta\, Daum’s 2016 documentary about the past and the present through the lens of Lifta\, the only Arab village abandoned in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that has not been completely destroyed or repopulated. Its ruins serve as a haunting backdrop for a confrontation between the two mega-narratives that underlie the Arab-Israeli conflict; the Nakba and the Holocaust. \nThe post-screening panel will include with historian Mehnaz Afridi\, legal scholar Aleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky\, Hillel Cohen\, and producer Aaron Levitt \n\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.

SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: Hiding and Seeking
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents a retrospective of Menachem Daum’s compelling and challenging films. The four-film series continues on Feb. 3 with Hiding and Seeking\, an award-winning documentary which tells the dramatic and emotional story of Daum’s journey with his two sons to Poland to try to find the Polish Christian farmers who hid their family from the Nazis. The film explores the Holocaust’s effect on faith in God and the faith in our fellow human beings. Without avoiding complexity\, it juxtaposes the post-Holocaust image of Poland as an antisemitic country with the encounter with people who personify the highest levels of compassion. \nThe post-screening discussion will include historian Natalia Aleksiun\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky\, and Tzvi Dovid Daum. \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.

SUMMARY:'Then and Now': Paintings by David Storey
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate and acknowledge the retirement of visual arts professor David Storey\, this exhibition displays work made during Storey’s 20-year tenure at Fordham. 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
