SUMMARY:CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: Mervyn King and Rana Foroohar on ‘Radical Uncertainty: Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers’
DESCRIPTION:Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life\, however\, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty\, a radical uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals\, his advisers offered him wildly divergent estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000\, no one—not least Steve Jobs—knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package—what will interest rates\, the cost of living\, and your state of health be in 2050?—demonstrate only that their advice is worthless. \nThe limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge\, we should adopt business\, political\, and personal strategies that will be robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient reference narrative\, uncertainty can be embraced\, because it is the source of creativity\, excitement\, and profit. \nAbout the speakers:\nMervyn King\, former governor of the Bank of England\, is a professor at New York University and emeritus professor at the London School of Economics. He is the author of Radical Uncertainty and The End of Alchemy\, among other books. King will be interviewed by Rana Foroohar\, the global business columnist and an associate editor at the Financial Times. She is also CNN’s global economic analyst and the author of Makers and Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Museum of American Finance.  \nConversation followed by Q&A and reception. Registration opens at 5:30 p.m. The first 100 attendees will receive a copy of the book.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: A Poor Church for the Poor: The Community of Sant’Egidio and the Radical Ministry of Pope Francis: An Evening with Marco Impagliazzo\, President of Sant’Egidio
DESCRIPTION:The Community of Sant’Egidio is one of the most remarkable\, and lesser-known\, examples of faith in action in the Catholic Church today. The identity of the Community of Sant’Egidio is guided by what Pope Francis has called the three P’s: Prayer\, Peace\, and the Poor.  \nSince 1968\, the Community has offered a powerful witness of lay people living out their faith through programs that\, for example\, provide material and emotional support for the elderly\, the homeless\, and those suffering from HIV/AIDS. \nSant’Egidio has also worked closely with Pope Francis on a number of projects\, such as resettling refugees\, developing the Humanitarian Corridors program that has settled over 2\,500 refugees in Italy\, and operating the Pope’s recently opened home for the homeless.  \nSant’Egidio has also been an effective protagonist for global peacemaking\, most recently helping to broker an end to hostilities in the brutal and long-running South Sudan conflict. \nThe Community has been nominated for a Nobel Prize for Peace. \nSant’Egidio’s president\, Marco Impagliazzo\, will be in New York for meetings at the United Nations and he will speak with Fordham’s community about Sant’Egidio’s mission in today’s world\, how they are working to assist the Pope\, and how faith can make a difference.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Jewish Studies Book Club: Eva Mroczek on The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Using familiar sources such as the Psalms\, Ben Sira\, and Jubilees\, Eva Mroczek tells an unfamiliar story about sacred writing not bound in the Bible. In listening to the way ancient writers describe their own literature\, full of their own metaphors and narratives about writing\, The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity also argues for greater suppleness in our own scholarly imagination\, no longer bound by modern canonical and bibliographic assumptions. \nThe Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity was a winner of the 2017 Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise\, the 2017 George A. and Jean S. DeLong Book History Book Prize\, and a finalist for the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award from the Association of Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: The Future of Conservatism: From Edmund Burke to Donald Trump to … What’s Next?
DESCRIPTION:What is conservatism today?  \nThe election of Donald Trump ended the old “fusionism” alliance of free markets\, family values\, fiscal discipline and an assertive foreign policy. Arguments about populism and nationalism\, trade wars and moral rationalizing now dominate conservative discourse and the Republican Party.  \nThe debate is intense. The stakes are high. The future is unclear.  \nProminent young conservatives will discuss how conservatism came to this pass\, whether it’s a good or bad development\, and where conservatism — and the GOP — are heading\, regardless if Trump wins or loses in November.  \nPanelists:  \nGuy Benson\, political editor at Townhall.com\, Fox News contributor\, and author (End of Discussion: How the Left’s Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate\, Manipulates Voters\, and Makes America Less Free (and Fun)) \nMary Katharine Ham\, contributing editor at Townhall.com\, a widely-published conservative columnist\, and author (End of Discussion: How the Left’s Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate\, Manipulates Voters\, and Makes America Less Free (and Fun)) \nMatt K. Lewis\, senior columnist at The Daily Beast\, CNN political commentator\, and author (Too Dumb to Fail: How the GOP Went from the Party of Reagan to the Party of Trump) \nApril Ponnuru\, veteran Republican staffer and strategist and senior advisor to the Conservative Reform Network. She has written widely and directed the publication of Room to Grow: Conservative Reforms for a Limited Government and a Thriving Middle Class. \nModerator: \nBria Sandford\, editorial director at Sentinel publishing and editor of numerous conservative authors.  \nReception will follow the event.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Justice for Children: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:All children should be protected from violence\, exploitation\, and abuse. Yet millions of children worldwide—from all socioeconomic backgrounds and across all ages\, religions\, and cultures—suffer violence\, exploitation\, and abuse every day.

Shirley Gatenio Gabel\, Ph.D.\, the newly appointed MaryAnn Quaranta Endowed Chair in Children for Social Justice\, will discuss how our sense of justice for children has changed and explore the future expectations for justice we are creating for children. Attendees are invited to stay after the lecture for a networking reception. \nFeatured Speaker Bio:\nShirley Gatenio Gabel\, M.S.W and Ph.D.\, is a professor who was recently appointed as the MaryAnn Quaranta Endowed Chair in Children for Social Justice at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service. She began her career as a case worker in child welfare and in community organizing\, moving to lobbying and policy analysis. Gatenio Gabel has served as a consultant to UNICEF\, UNESCO\, and U.N. member countries on child poverty and social protection and represents the International Association of Schools of Social Work at the United Nations.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: CJH-Fordham Series in Jewish-Christian Relations: ‘Passover Seders and Jewish-Christian Engagement in Postwar America’
DESCRIPTION:Passover is often described as the quintessential domestic Jewish holiday\, celebrated by more American Jews than other religious ritual. Since the mid-20th century\, however\, seders have also been reinterpreted as auspicious sites for Jewish-Christian engagement. \nWhile early modern European Christian writings about Jews often depicted the seder as a mysterious\, secretive Jewish domestic ritual with sinister associations with murder and blood libel\, contemporary American engagements with Passover have radically altered this depiction\, moving the seder out of a private Jewish realm and reconceiving it as an opportunity for connection between Jews and Christians through the celebration of a ritual that an increasing number of Christians have come to regard as an important part of their own heritage. \nThis talk will examine some of the ways American Jews and Christians have reimagined their engagement with the Passover seder\, both together and separately\, and to consider the ways that Jewish texts and practices associated with Passover have been redefined and reinterpreted in order to serve new purposes and communities. An exploration of these different approaches to the seder can perhaps offer us a window into the multiple and shifting dynamics of Jewish-Christian relations in the post-World War II United States.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: The Idea of the Torah in Rabbinic Writings: The Significance of the Roman Context
DESCRIPTION:Whereas Jewish authors writing in Greek conceived of Mosaic law in universal terms\, rabbinic literature presented Torah as a law that is the exclusive inheritance of Israel. What historical\, political\, cultural\, legal\, and religious factors account for such a contrast? \nIn this lunch lecture\, Katell Berthelot\, a professor at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)\, and a member of the Paul Albert-Février research center at Aix-Marseille University\, traces this surprising story about the Torah in the history of ancient Judaism\, suggesting that rabbinic notions of Torah were impacted\, at least in part\, by Roman legal culture and its valorization of Roman positive law.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Pride Shabbat Services: Celebrating Gender\, Sexuality\, and Body in Israeli Reform Jewish Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Kabbalat Shabbat\, (Welcoming the Sabbath\,) is a traditional Jewish ritual marking the transition between the profane weekday and the holy Shabbat. Reform Jewish communities maintain this practice with certain ritualistic and textual revisions\, in order to include gender and sexual categories previously excluded from mainstream traditional Jewish texts and rituals. \nThis lecture\, based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork\, will analyze the particular LGBTQ Kabbalat Shabbat. By creating unique rituals to mark phenomena of both oppression and exclusion\, on the one hand\, and of love and acceptance\, on the other\, the Reform congregation emerges as a religious safe space. This lecture argues that those rituals dedicated to and constructed by the LGBTQ community function as a performance of affirmation and empower of gender and sexual identities. This egalitarian performance fosters a shared political discourse for promoting the struggle for equal rights through a new religious practice.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth
DESCRIPTION:In these uncertain times\, with widespread myths pervading the media\, government policy\, and our homes\, there is a deeper urge to not only discover what is true\, but to be able to recognize falsehoods. This year our Passover will be different from all other Passovers—with more questions to share at real and virtual Seder tables. \nThat’s why we’re pleased to announce that the discussion between Magda Teter\, Ph.D.\, of Fordham University and Sara Lipton of SUNY Stony Brook about Teter’s new book\, Blood Libel: On the Trail of Antisemitic Myth\, will happen online via Zoom\, right before Passover on April 7 at 4 p.m. \nThe book explores the medieval myth that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood—and its surprising persistence over centuries\, cultures\, and continents. The invention and development of printed media contributed to widespread dissemination of the myth\, turning it into a “persistent template of hate”: from mid-12th-century monastic manuscripts to a Facebook group titled\, “Jewish Ritual Murder\,” shut down in 2014\, and beyond. \nTeter is the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies and a professor of history at Fordham. Her work focuses on early modern religious and cultural history\, with emphasis on Jewish-Christian relations\, the politics of religion\, and transmission of culture among Jews and Christians across Europe in the early modern period. She published numerous articles and books in English\, Polish\, Italian\, and Hebrew. Teter was recently appointed the 2020-2021 National Endowment for the Humanities Senior Fellow at the Center for Jewish History\, and she will be working on her current research project\, “The Dissemination and Uses of the Jewish Past: The Role of The Present in The Production and Politics of History.” \nLipton is a professor of history at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her work focuses on religious identity and experience\, Jewish-Christian relations\, and art and culture in the high and later Middle Ages 11th–15th centuries. Her book\, Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Semitic Iconography examines how changes in Christian devotion and politics affected the visual representation of the Jew. It explains the emergence of the iconographically identifiable Jew around the year 1080 and brings theoretical coherence to the dizzying proliferation of images of Jews in subsequent centuries. Lipton’s current project\, “The Vulgate of Experience: Art and Preaching in the High Middle Ages (1180–1300)\,” explores why and to what effect Christendom invested so much in worshiping the ineffable Word through the material thing.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Conversation on Epidemics\, Disease\, and Plagues in Jewish History & Memory
DESCRIPTION:Epidemic diseases usually strike humans indiscriminately. Yet the social and cultural responses to them can often exacerbate the differences that set people apart. The plague first broke out in Europe in 1348\, but it recurred every generation\, and was a feature of daily\, social\, and cultural life. For Jews\, outbreaks of disease carried a double threat: one biological\, the other social. In this conversation\, we explore examples of disease in the Jewish past to examine the ways in which moments of epidemic challenged Jewish life and ritual\, and to explore how governments\, Jewish leaders\, and Jewish and Christian neighbors responded to the pressures of plague. \nIn a conversation with Magda Teter\, Ph.D\, professor from Fordham\, Joshua Teplitsky\, Ph.D.\, professor from SUNY Stony Brook\, will discuss special the role of memory and the constructions of myths and narratives about health\, hygiene\, immunity\, and responsibility as they revolved around public health and the fear of contagion. \nJoshua Teplitsky\, Ph.D.\, teaches Jewish history at SUNY Stony Brook. He is the author of Prince of the Press: How One Collector Built History’s Most Enduring and Remarkable Jewish Library\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. He is also the author of dozens of articles in academic journals and popular venues. Teplitsky received many prestigious fellowships. He is currently a Harry Starr Fellow at Harvard University\, working on a book about Jews and plagues in premodern Europe. \nMagda Teter\, Ph.D.\, is a professor of history and the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth\, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation\, and Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland. She has published numerous articles in English\, Hebrew\, Italian\, and Polish. Her research has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim and Harry Frank Guggenheim foundations\, the Yad Ha-Nadiv foundation\, Harvard University\, and the NYPL’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers\, among others. \nThis event\, which will take place as a webinar via Zoom\, is co-produced by Fordham University and the Center for Jewish History. All Jewish Studies events are free and open to public.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: On Winks and Lies: Jewish Conversion\, Sincerity\, and the Israeli State
DESCRIPTION:Religious conversion is often associated with ideals of religious sincerity. But in a society in which religious belonging is entangled with ethnonational citizenship and bureaucratic privilege\, a convert might well have multilayered motives. Over the last two decades\, mass non-Jewish immigration to Israel\, especially from the former Soviet Union\, has sparked heated debates over the Jewish state’s conversion policy and intensified suspicion of converts’ sincerity. \nThis talk will trace the performance of state-endorsed Orthodox conversion to highlight the collaborative labor that goes into the making of the Israeli state and its Jewish citizens. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in conversion schools\, rabbinic courts\, and ritual bath houses\, this talk will complicate the popular perception that conversion is a “wink-wink” relationship in which both sides agree to treat the converts’ pretenses of observance as real. Instead\, it will demonstrate how their interdependent performances blur any clear boundary between sincere and empty conversions\, and how these performances permit the state to save its Jewish face.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: ‘Life Is an Eternal Now’
DESCRIPTION:The latest in the Fordham–NYPL Lecture Series features “Life Is an Eternal ‘Now’: Marija Gimbutas\, World War II\, and the Returns of Lithuanian History.” \nMarija Gimbutas (1921–1994) was an influential Lithuanian archaeologist and theorist of Neolithic European religion who taught at Radcliffe and UCLA after arriving in the United States in 1949. \nThis talk will explore Gimbustas’ formation in Europe among ethnographers and romantic nationalists who envisioned—and briefly achieved—an ethno-state during World War II\, when around 95% of Lithuania’s large and long-standing Jewish population was killed. Connecting the various strands of her thought and activism\, Michael Casper\, Ph.D.\, will show how Jewish history and the Holocaust factored into Gimbutas’s influential theories about the Indo-Europeans and religion\, and why\, for her and other Lithuanian émigrés\, the ancient past was more accessible than the Lithuania they left behind.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Red State\, Blue City: A Front Row Look at ‘Back Row America’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2020 Russo Family Lecture. \nA panel of powerful writers with first-hand knowledge of working-class people in hardscrabble communities across America share their stories and experiences of one of the most iconic and misunderstood segments of U.S. society. \nThe white\, rural\, Trump supporter has become a caricature that distorts and obscures reality. In fact\, many in our overstressed underclass are not white. They live in cities like New York as well as in the heartland. They may support Trump—or no one in particular. They are alienated from a society that has little use for them\, except as a convenient talking point. \nIn this discussion\, journalists\, memoirists\, and a historian explore the economic and social devastation\, and the faith and culture\, of what Chris Arnade calls “back row America.” \nPanelists: \nChris Arnade is the author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America\, a series of photo essays and true stories illuminating inequality and addiction from the Bronx to California. \nMonica Potts is an Arkansas-based writer working on a book about the women of her rural hometown. She wrote a 2019 New York Times essay about her neighbors’ “go-it-alone mythology” and “Donald Trump’s unbeatable appeal.” \nSteven Stoll\, Ph.D.\, a Fordham history professor and author of Ramp Hollow: The Ordeal of Appalachia\, will moderate the discussion. \nA reception and book signing will follow the event.

SUMMARY:Historians of the Jews and the Making of Plague Memory
DESCRIPTION:This is the second conversation between professor Joshua Teplitsky and professor Magda Teter on disease and plagues in Jewish history and memory. During this installment Teplitsky and Teter will discuss the role historians have played in shaping public memory of the plagues. They will examine the role premodern chroniclers played in defining “facts” and the way modern historians have approached the topic from the earliest days of modern historiography in the nineteenth century to more recent works. \nJoshua Teplitsky\, Ph.D.\, teaches Jewish history at SUNY Stony Brook. He is the author of Prince of the Press: How One Collector Built History’s Most Enduring and Remarkable Jewish Library\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. He is also the author of dozens of articles in academic journals and popular venues. Teplitsky received many prestigious fellowships. He is currently a Harry Starr Fellow at Harvard University\, working on a book about Jews and plagues in premodern Europe. \nMagda Teter\, Ph.D.\, is a professor of history and the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth\, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege After the Reformation\, and Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland. She has published numerous articles in English\, Hebrew\, Italian\, and Polish. Her research has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim and Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundations\,the Yad Ha-Nadiv Foundation\, Harvard University\, and the NYPL’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers\, among others. \nAll Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free. \nThe Zoom link will be sent 1-2 days prior to the event to all registered participants.

SUMMARY:Orthodox Jews vs. the State: Responses to COVID-19 in the US\, UK\, and Israel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion about responses to the pandemic in Jewish ultra-Orthodox communities on three continents. Social scientists from the UK\, the US\, and Israel will share how ultra-Orthodox communities have negotiated\, worked with\, and sometimes defied the state in the course of the pandemic and consider potential lasting impacts. \nPanelists: \nBen Kasstan (HUJI and University of Sussex\, UK) holds a Ph.D. from Durham University and is a medical anthropologist with field experience in the UK\, Ireland\, Israel\, Lesotho\, Gambia and Nigeria. Currently serves as Associate Editor for Anthropology & Medicine\, and Queer Here. Dr. Kasstan is committed to applying anthropological research to inform public debates and policy. He has written for The Huffington post\, CORTH at Sussex\, Ha’aretz\, and Times of Israel\, and most recently led a response to claims that the US Center for Disease Control & Prevention was being advised to revise its language (#CDC7words)\, published in PLOS Public Health Perspectives and Somatosphere. Dr. Kasstan has also served as a consultant for the recent BBC Radio 4 and British Museum series Living with the Gods. \nSchneur Zalman Newfield (BMCC\, CUNY) holds a Ph.D. from NYU’s Department of Sociology. His research interests focus on cultural sociology and the study of identity\, narrative\, and resocialization. In particular he is interested in the process individuals undergo when making major life transitions. His book\, Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press\, April 2020) explores the lives of a group of men and women who were raised in ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities and decided to leave that way of life. \nLea Taragin-Zeller (Cambridge University\, UK and Technion\, Israel) trained at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at Cambrige\, Dr. Taragin-Zeller’s interests lie in anthropology of religion (esp. Judaism\, Islam and interfaith relations); medical anthropology (esp. health decision making\, reproduction and ethnic minority and migrant health); gender and sexuality (esp. body\, modesty\, and transnational feminism)\, and anthropology of education (esp. sex education; science and technology). She has published widely in leading journals in sociology\, anthropology and religion and serves as a section editor in Cambridge’s journal of Reproductive Biomedicine and Society Online. Her current project: “Communicating Science among the Jewish Ultra-Orthodox in Israel: Journalistic Praxis and Audience Reception in Insular Communities” explores whether and how the Haredi community in Israel is legitimating and appropriating scientific knowledge. \nModerator: \nAyala Fader (Fordham) received her PhD from New York University and is currently Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning book Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn (Princeton 2009). Recent fellowships include the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of her latest book\, Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age (Princeton\, 2020). Fader is the co-founder and co-convener of the New York Working Group on Jewish Orthodoxies at Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies. \nAll Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free. \nQuestions?
