SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series—Katrin Kogman-Appel\, “Medieval Passover Haggadah: From Rituals to Illuminations\,” Session I
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 Distinguished 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 that began until it finally became a common household item\, around the middle of the seventeenth century. \n“The Book and the Seder I: Medieval Evidence of Passover Rituals” \nWhat do we actually know about the performance of medieval and early modern seder rituals? How was the haggadah recited? From a written text? From memory? In this lecture\, Katrin Kogman-Appel\, PhD\, will study various medieval sources\, both textual and visual\, that offer information about the performance of the seder and the various ritual acts prescribed in the haggadah. \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

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.

SUMMARY:Curran Center Talk: "Disability\, Vocation\, and Catholicism"
DESCRIPTION:From the first epidemic in New York City in 1916\, polio struck communities across the United States nearly every summer until the approval of a vaccine in 1955. Many survivors wrote memoirs\, records of their suffering and their vision for life as newly-disabled people in the wake of the illness. American Catholic women who survived polio often viewed their suffering as part of a divine calling. They frequently saw a rationale for their religious vocation in their disability. Catholic culture encouraged this interpretation\, especially for women; Catholic women who survived polio entered helping professions at higher rates than men and non-Catholics. Brittany Acors\, winner of the 2025 New Scholar Essay Prize for Catholic Studies in the Americas\, will explore how American Catholic polio survivors interacted with their culture to cultivate new understandings and craft narratives of suffering\, disability\, and service.

SUMMARY:Advancing Equity and Justice in Law Through Social Justice Research
DESCRIPTION:Join Fordham University’s Center for Ethics Education in an exciting webinar on law and social justice research featuring national legal experts! \nDespite commitments to fairness\, legal systems often produce uneven outcomes for marginalized populations due to structural factors and cognitive biases that influence legal outcomes. Social justice research provides empirical evidence that can help reform laws\, inform court decisions\, and promote equitable outcomes by identifying disparities and biases\, informing evidence-based legislation\, guiding judicial decision-making\, and holding legal systems accountable.

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.

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual Eunice Carter Lecture— "Expecting Inequity: How the Maternal Health Crisis Affects Even the Wealthiest Black Americans"
DESCRIPTION:Khiara M. Bridges\, PhD\, the Earl Warren Professor of Public Law at the University of California\, Berkeley School of Law and a nationally recognized expert on race\, class\, reproductive rights\, and their intersections\, will deliver the fourth annual Eunice Carter Lecture. \nIn this talk\, Professor Bridges will discuss her new book\, Expecting Inequity: How the Maternal Health Crisis Affects Even the Wealthier Black Americans. The book draws on two years of participant observation to show how wealthier black people try to leverage their class privilege to avoid some of the negative effects of their blackness—only to discover that in a country that has never reckoned with its horrific racial past\, there is no escaping racism’s reach. \nThe discussant will be Dr. Uché Blackstock\, physician\, New York Times bestselling author of Legacy\, and the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity (AHE). Introduced by Fordham Law School Professor Norrinda Brown\, associate dean for experiential learning\, and Catherine Powell\, Eunice Carter Distinguished Research Professor of Law (currently on leave from Fordham Law as a Crane Fellow in Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs Law and Public Policy program).

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series: Marat Grinberg\, “Stanislaw Lem and his Soviet Interlocutors: Rethinking Science Fiction as Jewish Literature”
DESCRIPTION:The topic of the talk is science fiction produced in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union during the 1960-1980s in Polish\, Russian\, and Ukrainian as a pivotal missing link in the history of Jewish literature in the 20th century. Not only were many of the science writers and critics Jewish\, but science fiction often became the focus of daring explicit Jewishness and widespread subterranean expression in the repressive Soviet atmosphere. In particular\, the talk will introduce Stanisla Lem as a Jewish writer and thinker who viewed the fissures of human memory and cosmos through the Jewish lens—biographical\, exegetical\, historical\, and cabbalistic. Lem had an enormous influence on Soviet authors who both emulated and polemicized with him. The talk will explore Jewish critics who provided astute interpretations of his work and engaged with it creatively. \nMarat Grinberg immigrated to the United States from Ukraine in 1993\, graduated from the joint degree program between the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and Columbia University in New York City in 1999\, and received his PhD in comparative literature from the University of Chicago in 2006. He is a scholar of Jewish literature and cinema\, Soviet and East European Jewish culture and history\, 20th century Russian literature\, and the history and poetics of science fiction. Grinberg is currently a professor of Russian and humanities at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon. A prolific author and public intellectual\, among Grinberg’s books are “I Am to Be Read Not from Left to Right\, but in Jewish: from Right to Left”: The Poetics of Boris Slutsky (2011)\, Aleksandr Askoldov: The Commissar (2016)\, and most recently the widely acclaimed The Soviet Jewish Bookshelf: Jewish Culture and Identity Between the Lines (2023). He is the translator and editor of Mikhail Goldis’s Memoirs of a Jewish District Attorney from Soviet Ukraine published earlier this year. Marat Grinberg’s essays have appeared in such national venues as Tablet Magazine\, Jewish Journal\, Mosaic\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, and Cineaste. Currently he’s working on a large study of Jewishness and the Holocaust in Russian\, Ukrainian\, and East European speculative fiction of the Soviet era.

SUMMARY:On Disagreement Lecture Series: “Mordecai Kaplan and the Limits of Dissent\,” a conversation between Jenna Weissman Joselit and David Gibson
DESCRIPTION:As part of the On Disagreement lecture series hosted by the Center for Jewish Studies\, this event features a conversation between Jenna Weissman Joselit and David Gibson about Mordecai Kaplan\, a towering figure of 20th-century Judaism in America. \nA self-styled theological maverick in 20th-century America\, Mordecai Kaplan created a brand-new\, homegrown form of Judaism called “Reconstructionism\,” altering its rhythms\, rituals and sensibility to fit the perquisites of a free\, democratic\, and pluralistic society. For his sins\, so to speak\, he was formally excommunicated from the Jewish community in 1945\, its members enjoined to stay clear of him and his many religious publications lest they suffer the “bite of the snake\,” an ancient rabbinic curse. This was just one of the many dramatic moments that comprised the long arc of Kaplan’s life\, whose biography offers an opportunity to explore the impact of freedom\, democracy\, and pluralism on religious authority\, tradition\, identity\, and community. \nJenna Weissman Joselit\, the Charles E. Smith Professor of Judaic Studies and professor of history at George Washington University\, is an historian of American daily life and its relationship to religion. Her latest book\, Mordecai M. Kaplan: Restless Soul\, will be published in March by Yale University Press as part of its Jewish Lives series. Drawing on Kaplan’s more than 70 years of diary-keeping\, it brings to life and humanizes one of American Jewry’s most complicated and controversial personalities. \nDavid Gibson is the director of the Center for Religion and Culture at Fordham. He came to Fordham in 2017 after a long career as an award-winning religion journalist\, author\, and filmmaker\, including at Vatican Radio in Rome and Religion News Service\, where he covered the Vatican and the Catholic Church. Gibson is the author of two books on Catholicism: The Coming Catholic Church: How the Faithful Are Shaping a New American Catholicism and The Rule of Benedict: Pope Benedict XVI and His Battle with the Modern World. He co-wrote and co-produced several documentaries on Christianity for CNN and the History Channel and co-authored a book on biblical archeology\, Finding Jesus: Faith. Fact. Forgery.\, the basis of a popular CNN series of the same name. He is a frequent media commentator and op-ed writer on topics related to the Catholic Church and religion in America.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Reclaiming the Internet: How Big Tech Took Control—and How We Can Take It Back
DESCRIPTION:Book launch and author talk: Reclaiming the Internet: How Big Tech Took Control—and How We Can Take It Back by Olivier Sylvain \nSpeakers:\nOlivier Sylvain\, Fordham Law School\nTim Wu\, Columbia Law School \nAbout the Book:\nReclaiming the Internet is an indictment of how Big Tech cloaks ruthless commercial exploitation in the language of free speech. Olivier Sylvain\, a leading legal scholar and former senior advisor at the Federal Trade Commission\, exposes the incentives behind social media design\, revealing how they trap users in cycles of addiction\, misinformation\, and harm—from fatal TikTok challenges to AI chatbot codependency. \nWith clarity and urgency\, Sylvain dismantles the libertarian mythology that shaped internet law and calls for a new legal regime that protects users over platforms. Reclaiming the Internet is a powerful\, original intervention into the most urgent policy debate of our time—what it will take to reclaim the digital public sphere. \nFor questions\, please emailclip@fordham.edu.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Lecture Series:  Chaya Nove\, “Making It (T)here: New York Hasidic Yiddish”
DESCRIPTION:This talk traces how Yiddish\, brought to New York by Hasidic Holocaust survivors after World War II\, was maintained as a thriving language of everyday life. Drawing on archival\, ethnographic\, and sociolinguistic research\, it examines how these communities leveraged New York’s unique urban conditions—demographic scale\, neighborhood density\, economic niches\, and legal pluralism—to establish schools\, newspapers\, and self-sustaining social worlds where Hasidic Yiddish could function as a primary vernacular. The talk\, delivered by Chaya Nove\, a Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies\, offers a contemporary case study of successful minority language maintenance in a major metropolitan center. \n
