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: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:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: A Life Apart

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.

SUMMARY:The Faith of Others: The Inspiration of Interreligious Dialogue in Light of Nostra Aetate
DESCRIPTION:This October marks 60 years since the Second Vatican Council adopted the historic Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions\, called Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate is best known for revisiting and reforming the long history of Catholic misrepresentation and mistreatment of Jews and provided a baseline for Catholic interreligious engagement in the contemporary world. \nHaving grown up in a home in which ecumenical discussions were vital\, Susannah Heschel\, Ph.D.\, Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and chair of the Jewish Studies Program\, will recount personal memories of her father\, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel\, and of the many Christian theologians and clergy who came to their home. Taking up the theological as well as the historical trajectory that led to Nostra Aetate\, she will give particular attention to the relationship between Rabbi Heschel and Augustin Cardinal Bea\, charting the new theological directions they represented regarding divine inspiration and prophecy. She will conclude with reflections on the extent to which interfaith encounters can also become moments of prayer. \nResponding to Professor Heschel will be Heather Miller Rubens\, Executive Director of the Institute for Islamic\, Christian\, and Jewish Studies in Baltimore\, who will look from this history into the present and future—reflecting on the powers and limits of Nostra Aetate in our own time\, as well as on its significance beyond the Catholic-Jewish relationship. \nReception to follow in Platt Court \nThe 2025 Paul Wattson Lecture at Fordham University is co-sponsored and co-organized by the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement\, Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute\, and\, at Fordham: the departments of theology and Jewish studies\, the Center on Religion and Culture\, the Francis and Ann Curran Center for Catholic Studies\, Campus Ministry\, and the Institute on Religion\, Law and Lawyer’s Work.

SUMMARY:Blair Braverman: Author\, Adventurer\, Influencer…and Jewish Dogsledder!
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Blair Braverman\, one of the most remarkable young women you will ever meet. Braverman has completed some of the toughest sled dog races in the world\, including the grueling Iditarod. She is a columnist and contributing editor for Outside magazine and a contributor to The New York Times\, This American Life\, Vogue\, and many other outlets. \nBraverman’s canine-focused social media feeds have generated a huge following\, as have her honest accounts of her marriage to a trans man and her life as the only Jewish woman in places like Norway and northern Wisconsin\, where she lives with her husband\, Quince Mountain\, and their team of sled dogs (who she says are also Jewish). \nBraverman combines stories from the trail with lessons that her sled dogs have taught her about teamwork\, leadership\, problem-solving\, and resilience (plus—of course—adorable dog pictures). \nDavid Gibson\, director of the Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a conversation with Blair Braverman and she will be signing copies of her books.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Lunch: Joshua Teplitsky on the Aftermath of Epidemics Among Jews of Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:In connection with an exhibit “COVID Pandemic Five Years On: Remembering and Forgetting” \nThe spring of 2025 marks five years since the first outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Retrospectives in different forms of media—books\, newspaper articles and editorials\, radio and podcasts\, and conferences and gatherings—all represent different approaches to grappling with the past and thinking about the future. How did people in past times confront epidemics\, not as they were happening\, but after the fact? What tools did they have and create to commemorate and mourn\, to rebuild and renew\, and even to plan for the next crisis? In this talk\, we will look at examples from Jewish communities and culture in early modern Europe\, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. We will explore examples of how media shared memory\, ritual\, preserved practices\, and how Jews understood themselves as poised between past traumas and future necessities. \nThis talk is connected to a new exhibit at Fordham’s O’Hare Special Collections and Archives\, “COVID Pandemic Five Years On: Remembering and Forgetting of Epidemics in History.” \nA kosher lunch will be served. Registration is required. \nAbout the Speaker\nJoshua Teplitsky is the Joseph Meyerhoff Associate Professor of Modern Jewish History. He studies the history of Jewish life in early modern Central Europe\, with an eye both to the particularities of Jewish experience and the wider contexts of Jewish-Christian interaction\, minority experience\, and what the history of minorities reveals about majority culture. He is the author of Prince of the Press: How One Collector Built History’s Most Enduring and Remarkable Jewish Library (Yale\, 2019)\, which explores the history of an early 18th-century Jewish book collector\, with an eye to the history of material texts\, the history of collecting\, and the cultures of learning and power in which his library was formed. The book won the Salo Baron Prize of the American Academy for Jewish Research for best first book in Jewish Studies in 2019\, the 2020 Jordan Schnitzer Book Award of the Association for Jewish Studies\, and was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. \nIn 2022\, he published an edited volume titled Be Fruitful! The Etrog in Jewish Art\, Culture\, and History (Mineged Press)\, with Sharon Liberman Mintz and Warren Klein. Teplitsky is currently at work on a book provisionally titled “Quarantine in the Prague Ghetto: Jews\, Christians\, and the Plague in Early Modern Europe\,” which reconstructs a six-month plague epidemic in the city of Prague in the early 18th century. In April 2020\, Teplitsky joined Magda Teter for two conversations in what became a pandemic-era series of webinars about epidemics in Jewish history.
