SUMMARY:Lecture & Lunch: Joshua Teplitsky on the Aftermath of Epidemics Among Jews of Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:In connection with an exhibit “COVID Pandemic Five Years On: Remembering and Forgetting” \nThe spring of 2025 marks five years since the first outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Retrospectives in different forms of media—books\, newspaper articles and editorials\, radio and podcasts\, and conferences and gatherings—all represent different approaches to grappling with the past and thinking about the future. How did people in past times confront epidemics\, not as they were happening\, but after the fact? What tools did they have and create to commemorate and mourn\, to rebuild and renew\, and even to plan for the next crisis? In this talk\, we will look at examples from Jewish communities and culture in early modern Europe\, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. We will explore examples of how media shared memory\, ritual\, preserved practices\, and how Jews understood themselves as poised between past traumas and future necessities. \nThis talk is connected to a new exhibit at Fordham’s O’Hare Special Collections and Archives\, “COVID Pandemic Five Years On: Remembering and Forgetting of Epidemics in History.” \nA kosher lunch will be served. Registration is required. \nAbout the Speaker\nJoshua Teplitsky is the Joseph Meyerhoff Associate Professor of Modern Jewish History. He studies the history of Jewish life in early modern Central Europe\, with an eye both to the particularities of Jewish experience and the wider contexts of Jewish-Christian interaction\, minority experience\, and what the history of minorities reveals about majority culture. He is the author of Prince of the Press: How One Collector Built History’s Most Enduring and Remarkable Jewish Library (Yale\, 2019)\, which explores the history of an early 18th-century Jewish book collector\, with an eye to the history of material texts\, the history of collecting\, and the cultures of learning and power in which his library was formed. The book won the Salo Baron Prize of the American Academy for Jewish Research for best first book in Jewish Studies in 2019\, the 2020 Jordan Schnitzer Book Award of the Association for Jewish Studies\, and was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. \nIn 2022\, he published an edited volume titled Be Fruitful! The Etrog in Jewish Art\, Culture\, and History (Mineged Press)\, with Sharon Liberman Mintz and Warren Klein. Teplitsky is currently at work on a book provisionally titled “Quarantine in the Prague Ghetto: Jews\, Christians\, and the Plague in Early Modern Europe\,” which reconstructs a six-month plague epidemic in the city of Prague in the early 18th century. In April 2020\, Teplitsky joined Magda Teter for two conversations in what became a pandemic-era series of webinars about epidemics in Jewish history.

SUMMARY:Lecture: “The Tangibility of the Secret: A Mystical View of the Senses”
DESCRIPTION:This discussion from Anna Sierka on kabbalistic traditions about the senses will turn to the Christian phrase\, noli me tangere (“do not touch me” in Latin)\, which plays on the touching and absence of any touching in the resurrection of Christ\, and thus engaging both touch and sight. The tactile sense will be explored in this inquiry through various sources\, including palmistry manuals (touching the parchment)\, the text known as Shiʻur Qomah (“The Measure of the Height [of the divine body]”)\, and other kabbalistic texts about marital relations. \nAnna Sierka earned her Ph.D. at the University of Munich with a doctoral dissertation focusing on the adaptation of divine chariot (merkavah) imagery from medieval Ashkenazi esoteric sources in Lurianic Kabbalah. She has been a Golda Meir Postdoctoral Fellow and a Minerva Fellow in the Department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, a Harry Starr Fellow in Judaica at the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard\, and a Koret Fellow at Tel Aviv University. Her articles have appeared in leading journals including Kabbalah: Journal for the Study of Jewish Mystical Texts\, The Journal of Religion\, and Harvard Theological Review. Her research explores shifts in esoteric and kabbalistic doctrines\, their philosophical inspirations\, and bifurcated anchoring detectable in other domains of knowledge\, for instance medicine and astronomy\, as well as in folk culture.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Hollis Landauer on American Denominational and Cause Haggadot
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century saw the breakdown of the hegemony of Orthodox Judaism and the rise of more liberal denominations and liturgies\, many of which reflected changes in the broader culture. This lecture will deal with both American denominational Haggadot\, which include those produced by the three major movements—Reform\, Conservative\, and Orthodox—and English-language\, cause-inspired Haggadot produced by liberal Jews. Since Passover is the Festival of Freedom\, the Haggadah has been often used as a vehicle for responses to historical events and connections with special causes related to social justice or specifically with Jewish issues. \nThe talk will explore cause Haggadot that connect with civil rights\, labor\, hunger\, refugees\, and climate change\, and Jewish causes that revolve around Jewish liberation\, women and LGBTQ issues\, the Holocaust\, Soviet Jewry\, Israel-Palestine\, and leftist secularism. \nAbout the Speaker\nHollis Granoff Landauer is a collector of nontraditional Haggadot. She holds a B.A. from Mt. Holyoke\, an M.A. in Near Eastern languages and literatures from UCLA\, and a library degree from Simmons College. After working in libraries for a number of years\, Granoff Landauer opened a design bookstore\, Another Man’s Poison\, in Toronto\, focusing on books on design\, graphics\, and architecture. She has presented about pre-state kibbutz Haggadot and Holocaust-era Haggadot at Fordham in the past.

SUMMARY:Lecture—Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Colonial ambitions spawned imperial attitudes\, theories\, and practices that remain entrenched within botany and across the life sciences. Banu Subramaniam\, an interdisciplinary plant biologist and Luella LaMer Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College\, draws on fields as disparate as queer studies\, Indigenous studies\, and the biological sciences to explore the labyrinthine history of how colonialism transformed rich and complex plant worlds into biological knowledge. \nTheir third book\, Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism (University of Washington Press\, 2024)\, demonstrates how botany’s foundational theories and practices were shaped\nand fortified in the aid of colonial rule and its extractive ambitions. We see how colonizers obliterated plant time’s deep history to create a reductionist system that imposed a Latin-based naming system\, drew on the imagined sex lives of European elites to explain plant sexuality\, and discussed foreign plants like foreign humans. Subramaniam then pivots to imagining a more inclusive and capacious field of botany untethered and decentered from its origins in histories of racism\, slavery\, and colonialism. This vision harnesses the power of feminist and scientific thought to chart a course for more socially just practices of\nexperimental biology.

SUMMARY:Adam Farkas\, “Oral Histories of the Soviet Jewish Diaspora in the US\, 1973 – 1980”
DESCRIPTION:Between 1973 and 1980\, over 65\,000 Soviet Jews\, often referred to as “dropouts\,” immigrated to the United States. While they are often treated as a single demographic group\, these Soviet Jews represented surprising diversity profiles across distinct waves of migration. Studying this population without considering their day-to-day experiences in the Soviet Union and the US misses important divergences in identity transformation\, cultural adaptation\, and assimilation practices. Through detailed oral history analysis\, the presentation examines the cultural adaptations and disparities encountered during their journey\, including education\, cultural dynamics\, political perspectives\, and community building. It investigates how these challenges influenced the immigration experience for Soviet Jewish immigrants in the United States versus their experiences in the Soviet Union. The study also looks at how adaptation to American culture contributed to evolving identities and how the preservation or rejection of Russian and Jewish heritage shaped self-perception. \nAdam Farkas holds a PhD in History from Budapest\, Hungary. After defending his dissertation\, he was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto\, where his research focuses on the oral histories and everyday life of Soviet Jewish émigrés in the 1970s. \nLunch will be served.

SUMMARY:'After: Poetry Destroys Silence'—Virtual Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The film After: Poetry Destroys Silence juxtaposes two competing claims about poetry after genocide and unspeakable horrors: Theodor Adorno’s statement\, “To write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric” and Charles Bukowski’s rebuttal\, “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” \nAfter explores poetry written about the Shoah\, in which contemporary poets respond to the Holocaust and talk about the importance and need for poetry in a world that still grapples with genocide. Rather than seeing the devastation\, After shows how poets respond to catastrophe and write in its aftermath. The film is ultimately about human resiliency\, the power and courage to forge new lives\, and the value of poetry in looking to the past to help create a better future. \nThe virtual panel discussion will include the film’s director Richard Kroehling\, Amelia Glaser\, a scholar of Slavic and Jewish literature from the nineteenth century to the present and the author of Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands (2012) and Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (2020)\, and Anna Shternshis\, a scholar of Jewish culture in Russia and the Soviet Union\, oral history as well as Yiddish music and the author of Soviet and Kosher: Jewish Popular Culture in the Soviet Union\, 1923 – 1939 (2006) and When Sonia Met Boris: An Oral History of Jewish Life under Stalin (2017)\, and director of a Grammy-nominated project\, Yiddish Glory: The Lost Songs of WWII\, which highlights forgotten Yiddish music written during the Holocaust in the Soviet Union.

SUMMARY:Advance Care Planning at the Margins: An Interactive\, Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The provision of whole-person care requires us to recognize the multidimensional impact that living with a serious illness has on each aspect of a patient’s quality of life. \nConducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment lays the groundwork for the sensitive exploration of how serious illness and its treatment influence medical decision-making\, especially for those who have been historically\, politically\, and socially marginalized\, as well as those with limited cognitive capacity. \nSocial workers have the clinical background to provide nuanced advance care planning conversations and may be well positioned to offer leadership in expanding advance care planning programs within their organizations. \nThis interactive workshop will explore strategies to support proxy decision-makers for those who are the most vulnerable.

SUMMARY:Lecture: “Bringing ‘Tikkun Olam’ to the South: New York Jews in the Civil Rights Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Miyuki Kita\, professor of American studies at the University of Kitakyushu\, Japan\, will examine an unknown\, unacknowledged episode of the commitment of New York Jews to the Civil Rights Movement and its impact outside of New York City. During the summer of 1963\, 16 Queens College students—14 of whom were Jewish—traveled as far as the Prince Edward County\, Virginia\, to tutor local African American children who had not received any formal education since the shutdown of the county’s public schools to avoid the state’s integration order in 1959. These “Freedom Schools” eventually became an important model for Mississippi Freedom Schools in the following year. Additionally\, as a backdrop to the students’ visit to Virginia\, more than 200 students started to serve as tutors and recreational leaders for underprivileged children in South Jamaica\, Queens\, every Saturday in April 1963. In such circumstances emerged Andrew Goodman\, a Queens College student at the time of his death in Mississippi and gave his life to the civil rights movement. \nMiyuki Kita’s studies have focused on antisemitism in the U.S.\, Black-Jewish relations\, and Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University from 2012-2013. She also served as a visiting scholar at Queens College\, City University of New York in 2018-2019. Her works include “Breaking the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’: Jews and the 1945 New York Fair Employment Practices Act\,” in Fruma Mohrer and Ettie Goldwasser eds.\, New York and the American Jewish Communal Experience (New York: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\, 2013) and “Foot Soldier in the Civil Rights Movement: Lynn Goldsmith with SCLC–SCOPE\, Summer 1965\,” Southern JewishHistory\, vol.22\, 2019\, pp.151-188.
