SUMMARY:Epidemic and the Marginalized of Society: A View from the Jewish Past
DESCRIPTION:During times of pandemic\, societies often seek a scapegoat—sometimes in a foreign enemy\, sometimes among their own marginalized groups. In 19th century Eastern Europe\, a peculiar magical ritual emerged in which Jewish communities married their most vulnerable and marginalized members—orphans\, beggars\, and people with physical and cognitive disabilities—to each other in a wedding held in the town cemetery. What was the meaning of this ritual? Why was a wedding in a cemetery considered an efficacious remedy for cholera and other diseases? This talk considers whether Jewish society’s outcasts served as a scapegoat during times of catastrophe such as epidemics. \nNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies in the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of East European Jewry\, he is the author of Kiev\, Jewish Metropolis: A History\, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute\, Disabled\, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe\, 1800-1939 (forthcoming in August 2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. \nAll Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free. This event will be a webinar via Zoom. Link will be sent 1-2 days prior. \nQuestions? Contact:\nFordham Jewish Studies\njewishstudies@fordham.edu \n718-817-3929

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?

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.

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: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: 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: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: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: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: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.
