SUMMARY:Darfur Hospitals Under Fire
DESCRIPTION:Recent fighting in El Fasher\, the capital of North Darfur\, hit hospitals and most health clinics hard\, and international agencies withdrew. In the aftermath\, the surviving Sudanese medical teams combined efforts to turn a modest maternity hospital and a tin-roof clinic into the city’s last trauma wards. Join us as Darfur Peace and Development Organization (DPDO) President Suliman Giddo\, who has just returned from the Chad border; Dr. Eilaf Mohamed\, who served in the maternity hospital and escaped wounded; and filmmaker/emergency coordinator Daniel J. Gerstle will share their story to illuminate how the international community could do more to help. \nSudan’s western region of Darfur has suffered more than two decades of violence and worsening droughts\, a year of civil war\, and now the brutal siege of its last government and joint force-controlled city\, El Fasher. Over the three-month siege\, fighters have directly targeted hospitals\, medical teams\, pharmacies\, and even health clinics. \nSpeakers \n\nSuliman Giddo\, Ph.D.\, founder and president of DPDO\, will speak about how organizations like his\, the Emergency Response Rooms\, and others could do more with the help of international partners.\nEilaf Mohamed\, M.D.\, an OBGYN from Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher and a physician building a career in psychology\, was one of the first medical staff wounded. She will share what it was like and what could help her colleagues.\nDaniel J. Gerstle\, founder and director of Humanitarian Bazaar and a former emergency coordinator\, is now producing documentary films and has been supporting Sudanese journalists and medical teams to tell the story of health care under fire.\n\nRuth Mukwana\, senior fellow\, and Lily Egan\, communications officer\, both of the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs at Fordham University\, will facilitate the webinar.

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Performance: Jessica Roda on For Women and Girls Only: Reshaping Jewish Orthodoxy Through the Arts in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Have you had a glimpse of the mesmerizing music videos of ultra-Orthodox women celebrities Bracha Jaffe and Devorah Schwartz captivating more than half a million viewers on YouTube\, or the myriad films and Yiddish plays crafted by Hasidic girls in Montreal and New York? Probably not. This enduring lack of awareness persists because these spaces intentionally remain veiled in secrecy and privacy\, and the prevailing image\, as portrayed in productions like Netflix’s Unorthodox\, perpetuates the notion of the Hasidic woman as uncreative and subservient to male authority. \nIn this talk\, you will learn about these hidden artistic worlds\, the experience of Hasidic women who now perform for public audiences\, and their challenges to transform the image of Hasidicness. As an active observer and participant\, Roda will bring unique insights into these private feminine worlds. Stars like Bracha Jaffe and Shaindy Platzer are household names in these circles\, and the impact of their artistic productions is broad for Jewish music. \nThere will be a live musical performance following the oral presentation. \nAbout the Speakers\nJessica Roda is an anthropologist and ethnomusicologist whose research interests include music\, religion\, cultural heritage\, gender\, health\, and media. After a first monograph about the social and political implications of Sephardic music in France titled Se réinventer au present: Les Judéo-Espagnols de France (PUR 2018)\, she wrote a second book telling the captivating stories of ultra-Orthodox Jewish women and those who broke away from religion\, including their use of art\, digital tools\, and technology to challenge and reinforce Orthodoxy\, titled For Women and Girls Only: Reshaping Jewish Orthodoxy through the Arts in the Digital Age (NYU Press\, 2024). For this research\, she was awarded the Cashmere Award from the AJS Women’s Caucus (2021) and the Hadassah Brandeis Institute Research Award (2021). \nMalky Goldman is an actor\, artist\, and writer from a Yiddish-speaking home in Jerusalem\, with a fine arts degree from Hunter College. Her films and TV shows include The Vigil\, The Performance\, Unorthodox\, The Binding of Itzik\, and Castles. She has performed on stage in Hedda Gabler\, Rhinoceros\, and God of Vengeance. \nRiki Rose is a Yiddish singer-songwriter\, entertainer\, and chazzan who grew up in an ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community in Brooklyn. Inspired by her upbringing\, Rose’s original music focuses on mental health awareness and healing\, blending blues and jazz. For the performance\, she will present a selection of cantorial pieces\, Yiddish covers\, and her own original compositions.
