SUMMARY:Holy Rebellion or Religious Egoism? The Achievements of Religious Zionist Feminism and the Rabbinic Illiberal Backlash in Israel
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is based on the groundbreaking research presented in Holy Rebellion: Religious Feminism and the Transformation of Judaism and Women’s Rights in Israel (Brandeis\, 2024). Co-authors Tanya Zion-Waldoks and Ronit Irshai will delve into the emergence\, achievements\, and challenges of Religious Zionist (Dati) feminism in Israel—one of the most dynamic and influential movements within contemporary Judaism and Israeli feminism. Drawing from sociological\, theological\, cultural\, and legal perspectives\, the lecture will explore the dual narrative shaping this critical moment in Israeli society. On one hand\, it will spotlight the remarkable strides made by Religious Zionist feminists in challenging gender inequities within Orthodox Judaism and Israeli society at large. On the other\, it will analyze the rising illiberal backlash involving rabbinic authorities seeking to reverse these gains. The authors will discuss the pivotal role of Israel’s judiciary—particularly the Supreme Court—in navigating these tensions and will introduce their book’s innovative theoretical frameworks: the “Narrative Ripeness Test” and the “Dignity Test.” They will also address the broader societal dynamics at play within a “Jewish and democratic” society in crisis. This lecture is a must for anyone interested in the complex interplay of religion\, feminism\, law\, and activism in Israel and beyond. \nAbout speakers:\nTanya Zion-Waldoks\, a tenured assistant professor at the Seymour Fox School of Education at Hebrew University\, investigates intersections of gender\, education\, religion\, and politics. She studies feminist activism for social change\, gender equality in education\, and anti-racist activism in Israel. She published in top journals and her recent book\, with Ronit Irshai\, is Holy Rebellion: Religious Feminism and the Transformation of Judaism and Women’s Rights in Israel (Brandeis University Press\, 2024). She previously held a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University\, and her work is supported by the Israel Science Foundation. \nRonit Irshai is an associate professor and the former head of the gender studies\ndepartment at Bar Ilan University in Israel; a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman institute in Jerusalem (For pluralistic Judaism)\, a member in the board of the Reckman center at Bar Ilan University (For women rights) and a member Kolech; – A religious feminist forum. She has been a visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School during the academic year of 2007-2008\, a visiting scholar at the Hadassah Brandeis Institute in fall 2016 and a visiting Professor at Gindal Global University in February 2019 in India. Her work focuses on the judicial and theological intersections between Jewish law (Halakhah) and feminist and gender insights\, from diverse Jewish-denominational perspectives\, but especially from the Orthodox angle. She has written numerous articles and book chapters. Among them articles on halakhah (Jewish Law)\, theology and gender; Fertility and Jewish law; Sexual injuries\, halakhah and Israeli Rabbinical courts; Jewish religious feminism; Jewish feminist theologies and Jewish law and LGBTQ people. Her first book: Fertility and Jewish Law – Feminist Perspectives on Orthodox Responsa Literature was published by Brandeis University Press in 2012. The second book on abortion was published in Hebrew by Magness press\, in 2022 and the third book\, Holy Rebellion\, on Modern-Orthodox Feminism in Israel (together with Dr. Tanya Zion-Waldoks) was published by Brandeis University Press in spring 2024. She also co-edited a Jubilee book in honor of Prof. Tamar Ross.

SUMMARY:Mauro Canali\, "Follow the Oil: Italian Fascism and the Matteotti Murder"
DESCRIPTION:The murder of the Italian Socialist politician Giacomo Matteotti in 1924 paved the way to the establishment of the Fascist dictatorship and to a fundamental reshaping of all institutions of the Italian state. In this lecture\, geared in particular toward the NYC undergraduate population\, famed historian Mauro Canali (whose classic study\, The Matteotti Murder and Mussolini\, has been recently published in English by Palgrave) will introduce students to his research\, based on the trial records smuggled to London by Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani (1872-1946)\, the lawyer of the Matteotti family\, as soon as it became clear that he\, too\, was a target of the Fascist regime. \nModigliani\, a Jew from Livorno\, was one of the founders of the Italian Socialist Party and of the first Italian union\, and worked to develop and maintain strong ties with union and socialist activists in the US. Modigliani documented that Matteotti was investigating bribes from the American Sinclair Oil Company to the Italian government in exchange for the monopoly to drill on Italian soil and in the Italian colonies. The attorney’s relation to Matteotti\, before the murder and during the trial\, illuminates a complex map of alliances and conflicts between Italy and the United States. \nThis lecture will invite us to apprehend the Matteotti murder as a complex historical event\, seizing the ways in which corruption and social struggles fluctuated between worlds that were politically and ideologically apart\, and rethinking the nexus between edifying political narratives and the race to secure resources. \nAbout Mauro Canali\nMauro Canali is a full professor of contemporary history at the University of Camerino\, Italy\, and a leading scholar of fascism. His extensive research delves into the repressive mechanisms of Mussolini’s regime\, its totalitarian structure\, and its system of informants. Prof. Canali has authored numerous acclaimed works\, including Il delitto Matteotti and Le spie del regime\, earning prestigious awards. He has held a visiting position at Harvard University and regularly contributes to Italian media and historical programming. He has written on the American press and Fascism and researched the role of oil and mineral resources in 20th-century warfare. Among his publications is Mussolini e il petrolio iracheno. L’Italia\, gli interessi petroliferi e le grandi potenze  (Mussolini and Iraqi oil: Italy\, oil interests\, and the great powers)\, 2007.

SUMMARY:New Exhibit Opening: “Henna\, Love\, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of a new exhibit “Henna\, Love\, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India\,” which brings to Fordham several pieces from Siona Benjamin’s series “Faces: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives.” These pieces serve as anchors that link the present and the past. Around Siona Benjamin’s art are photographs taken by the artist’s parents and family members. In the 1950s\, Siona Benjamin’s parents\, Judah and Sophie Benjamin\, traveled across India photographing synagogues and houses of prayer\, capturing the range and diversity of the Indian Jewish community: from splendid metropolitan synagogues to small rural prayer halls. The cache of photographs in Siona Benjamin’s possession thus documents an aspect of Jewish history\, now threatened by oblivion. \nLike Siona Benjamin’s art\, some of the old family photographs underscore how much the life and culture of Jews in India were very much of India. Henna\, saris\, glass lamps of synagogue lights meld with modern suits and classic fedoras becoming one. Indian and Jewish\, traditional and modern–all form a distinct Indian Jewish identity. \nThe exhibit was made possible by the Hadassah Weiner Fund for Jewish Art and was curated by Amy Levine-Kennedy\, Mallory Roof FCRH ‘26\, and Magda Teter. The exhibit will be on view from January 30 until March 28\, 2025 in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room on the 4th floor of the Walsh Family Library.

SUMMARY:Matthias Henze\, “It’s About Time: Time and the Sense of an Ending in Ancient Judaism”
DESCRIPTION:Jewish writers of the late Second Temple period did not share a single\, uniform understanding of time that can be summarized in just a few sentences. Nor do we have any ancient Jewish texts in which an author reflects on the passage of time in abstract\, philosophical terms. There are\, however\, a number of aspects of early Jewish notions of time that recur frequently in the texts\, some with roots in the Hebrew Bible\, and others that are developed for the first time during the Second Temple period. For example\, during this period we see the development of the notion of a world or age to come\, distinct from the present world. \nIn this talk\, Matthias Henze will examine a number of text passages—from the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha\, the Dead Sea Scrolls\, and the New Testament—to gain a better understanding of how Jewish intellectuals made sense of the passage of time and explored its beginning\, at creation\, and its end\, the eschaton. Together\, these texts offer an intriguing meditation on the various\, at times unexpected ways of constructing time in ancient Judaism. \nAbout Matthias Henze\nMatthias Henze was born and raised in Hanover\, Germany. In 1992 he earned a Master of Divinity from the University of Heidelberg\, Germany\, and moved to the United States to pursue a Ph.D. in Harvard’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. After completing his doctorate in 1997\, Dr. Henze joined Rice’s department of religion\, where he is now the Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Professor of Hebrew Bible and Early Judaism. His areas of interest include the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament\, Jewish literature and thought at the time of the Second Temple\, apocalyptic literature\, and the Qumran fragments. In particular\, Dr. Henze focuses on those early texts that never became part of the Jewish Bible – often subsumed under the labels ‘Apocrypha’ and ‘Pseudepigrapha’ – and what we can learn when these texts are read side by side with the canonical writings. Dr. Henze has written and edited ten books. While at Rice he has won five teaching/mentoring Awards. He was also named a founding fellow of Rice’s Center for Teaching Excellence. In 2009 he founded Rice’s Program in Jewish Studies\, of which he continues to serve as director.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture with Dr. Miliann Kang: Mothers as Others: Race and Reproductive Politics in Asian America
DESCRIPTION:Challenging the mythology that mothers share natural bonds—not only with their children but with each other—Mother Other exposes motherhood as far from a global sisterhood. While focusing on Asian American mothers\, Mother Other interrogates motherhood broadly as a fraught identity and institution defined by entrenched social divisions—ranging from xenophobia to racism\, misogyny to transphobia\, ableism to class privilege. These divisions not only arise among mothers\, but are produced and reproduced by them\, yet can also be resisted and reimagined. \nMiliann Kang is Professor in Women\, Gender\, Sexuality Studies and affiliated faculty in Sociology and Asian/Asian American Studies at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. She is the author of The Managed Hand: Race\, Gender and the Body in Beauty Service Work (University of California Press) and is completing her next book\, Mother Other: Race and Reproductive Politics in Asian America. \nThanks to event co-sponsors: Dean’s Challenge Grant\, Asian American Studies\, Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies\, Sociology & Anthropology

DESCRIPTION:To the extent that Middle Eastern Christians register in Euro-American political imaginaries\, they are usually invoked to justify Western military intervention into countries like Iraq or Syria\, or as an exemption to anti-Islamic immigration policies because of an assumption that their Christianity makes them easily assimilable in the so-called “Judeo-Christian” West. \nUsing the tools of multisensory ethnography\, Sonic Icons uncovers how these views work against the very communities they are meant to benefit. Through long term fieldwork in the Netherlands among Syriac Orthodox Christians—also known as Assyrians\, Aramaeans\, and Syriacs—Bakker Kel­logg reveals how they intertwine religious practice with political activism to save Syriac Christianity from the twin threats of political violence in the Middle East and cultural assimilation in Europe. \nIn a historical moment when much of their tradition has been forgotten or destroyed\, their story of self-discovery is one of survival and reinvention. By reviving the late antique Syriac litur­gical tradition known as the Daughters and Sons of the Covenant\, these groups seek a complex form of recognition for what they understand to be the ethical core of Christian kinship in an ethnic and a religious sense\, despite living in societies that do not recognize this unhyphenated form of ethno religiosity as a politically legitimate mode of public identity. \nDrawing on both theological and linguistic understandings of the icon\, Sonic Icons rethinks foundational theoretical accounts of ethnicization\, racialization\, and secularization. \nOrthodox Studies Center events are free and open to the public.
