SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Nick Underwood on 'Yiddish As a Zionist National Language in Post-Holocaust France'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunch talk in the Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies. Nick Underwood will discuss “Yiddish as a Zionist National Language in Post-Holocaust France\,” with a response by Shachar Pinsker\, Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies. \nThe largest Jewish population in postwar\, post-Holocaust Europe was found in France\, and it was diverse. France’s postwar social\, political\, cultural\, and linguistic context was also unique in Europe because it played host to so many different Jewish migrant\, returnee\, and survivor communities. Notably\, too\, unlike some corners of the global Jewish and Yiddish worlds\, the tradition of producing Zionist culture in Yiddish did not wane in the postwar years. \nThis talk will focus on the Zionist culture that was produced in Yiddish in France during the postwar years. Through an exploration of the journals\, organizations\, leaders\, and events produced by these Yiddish- and French-speaking Parisian Zionists\, we will learn how and why Yiddish remained relevant for Zionists. We will also explore the reasons they maintained Yiddish\, even after the establishment of the State of Israel\, which these Zionists were involved with and supported. \nA light kosher lunch will be available. \nAbout the Speaker\nNick Underwood is an assistant professor of history and the Berger-Neilsen Chair of Judaic Studies at The College of Idaho. He is a transnational cultural historian whose work focuses on 20th-century Yiddish culture in France. His work has appeared in several journals. In addition\, his first book\, Yiddish Paris: Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France (Indiana University Press\, 2022)\, was named a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. He is also co-editor with Meredith Scott of a forthcoming edited volume titled Jewish Ideas of France: Migration\, Diaspora\, and Empire (Routledge Press). His current book project\, Yiddish Culture\, Jewish Migration\, the Making of Post-Holocaust France\, is an exploration of the Yiddish culture that blossomed in France after the Holocaust and Vichy\, from 1944 to 1965. He also serves as project manager for the Digital Yiddish Theatre Project and managing editor for the journal American Jewish History. \n

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Mark J. Higgins on Investing in the Financial History of the United States
DESCRIPTION:Investors who neglect to study the past are forced to rely primarily on their life experiences to make decisions. This often causes them to overlook powerful\, cyclical forces that repeatedly reshape economies and markets. Investing in U.S. Financial History fills this void by recounting the full financial history of the United States. It begins with Alexander Hamilton’s brilliant financial programs in 1790 and ends with the Federal Reserve’s battle to contain inflation in 2023. Mark Higgins will discuss several of the most important lessons that help contextualize the challenges that the United States currently faces. \nAbout the Speaker\nMark Higgins is the author of Investing in U.S. Financial History and is a senior vice president within Index Fund Advisors (IFA) Institutional. His written works appear regularly in the Museum of American Finance’s Financial History magazine and the CFA Institute’s Enterprising Investor. Higgins also frequently speaks on U.S. financial history and institutional investment management. He joined IFA in August 2023 to expand the firm’s footprint in the institutional investment plan market. Prior to joining IFA Institutional\, Higgins served as an institutional investment consultant for more than 12 years. In this role\, he served such clients as endowments\, pension plans\, and foundations that had aggregate assets of more than $60 billion. \nAdvance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the link prior to the program.

SUMMARY:How Did We Get Here? A Deep Dive into the History of Israel and Palestine\, Part IV: October 7 and the Aftermath
DESCRIPTION:The Hamas-engineered massacre of October 7\, 2023\, stunned and shocked Israel and the Jewish world to the core. It triggered a massive Israeli response that has reduced large parts of northern Gaza to rubble. Supporters of Israel and the Palestinians are more bitterly divided than ever\, around the world and especially on college campuses. What are the roots of today’s conflict? And what does it portend for the future of the region? \nTo gain insight into this latest stage in a brutal and divisive conflict that has ebbed and flowed for more than a century\, Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies is sponsoring a four-part series on the history of the conflict with Hussein Ibish\, Ph.D.\, and professor David Myers. During the 2017-2018 academic year\, Ibish and Myers came to campus to deliver a three-part series on the history of this conflict. Five years later\, they return to Fordham to offer an in-depth perspective on the history of Israel-Palestine in light of the current moment. \nThis is the fourth in a four-part series. For more information about the series\, please visit https://jewishstudies.ace.fordham.edu/how-did-we-get-here-a-deep-dive-into-the-history-of-israel-and-palestine/. \nAbout the Speakers\nHussein Ibish is a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He is a weekly columnist for The National and previously served as a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine. \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor and the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair of Jewish History at UCLA. The author and editor of many books\, he directs the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy and the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Rivka Elitzur-Leiman on 'Magic in New York: Reassessing a Collection of Late-Antiquity Jewish Amulets at the NYPL'
DESCRIPTION:In her talk\, Rivka Elitzur-Leiman will discuss a collection of late-antiquity Jewish Aramaic amulets at the NYPL\, engraved on small metal leaves. She will explore the amulets’ magical and cultural significance and reveal the history of the collection itself and the role Mary Anna Draper played in creating it. The lecture will also be available to attend via Zoom. \nAbout the Speaker\nRivka Elitzur-Leiman received her Ph.D. from Tel-Aviv University\, where she wrote her dissertation on Jewish-Aramaic amulets from late antiquity. She was a postdoctoral fellow at NYU and Harvard University\, where she worked on several projects\, including an article on a rare Jewish Aramaic lead curse tablet written to win a chariot race and found hidden under the hippodrome of ancient Antioch. As a fellow of the Fordham-NYPL Research Program in Jewish Studies\, she is working on ancient Jewish Aramaic amulets that made their way from the Middle East to New York more than 100 years ago.

SUMMARY:MUSH: A Conversation with Ashley Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Ashley Thompson\, the founder of MUSH. \nThompson will be discussing her journey as an entrepreneur and sharing what she has learned—from the initial spark she had while working on Wall Street\, to selling her products in cartons at farmers markets\, all the way to the nation’s top retailers. Thompson is an incredible success story of what hard work and the right business strategies can do for you. \nThompson co-founded MUSH in 2015 with the conviction that easy\, delicious\, and nutritious food can elevate the world in powerful ways. Early in life\, Thompson’s sister was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The experience left an indelible mark on her\, and she cultivated a strong belief that better outcomes begin with better food. She began her career as a trading analyst and started each day with a run. Thompson soon realized that\, even on Wall Street\, it was hard to access nutritious food\, so she would bring her own “mush” to work\, inspired by her favorite hack as a kid: cereal and oatmeal soaked in milk. She had discovered a white space that was equal parts healthy\, delicious\, and convenient. She quit her job and got to work. \nThe company has grown rapidly from its early days when Thompson would sell small handmade batches at local farmers’ markets in San Diego. Today\, MUSH is the leading brand in its category. \nComplimentary MUSH will be provided to all participants.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Marilyn Miller on 'Cuban Independence Leader José Martí and His Jewish Supporters'
DESCRIPTION:In her talk\, Marilyn Miller examines Cuban revolutionary hero José Martí’s relationships with Jewish supporters\, especially in late-19th-century New York City\, and the continuing importance of Martí’s legacy to Jews after his death. While previous research has debated whether Martí was motivated by a genuine interest in the Jewish experience or simply saw in Jewish communities a strategic opportunity for raising funds and procuring arms for the Cuban independence struggle\, this project will show that Jews in New York\, Cuba\, Florida\, and elsewhere have identified keenly with Martí’s antiracism discourse and adopted his words and deeds as important tools in their fights against antisemitism\, racial discrimination\, and other forms of injustice. \nAbout the Speaker\nMarilyn Miller is a professor of Latin American literature and culture in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the Sizeler Professor in Judaic Studies at Tulane University. She focuses on issues of race\, Jewish identity\, and emancipatory poetics in inter-American and transatlantic contexts. Her forthcoming volume\, Eduardo Halfon and the Itinerary of Memory (Vanderbilt UP\, 2024)\, is the first major study of the award-winning Guatemalan Jewish author. Her 2021 book\, Port of No Return: Enemy Alien Internment in WWII New Orleans (LSU Press\, 2021)\, exposes the little-known history of Jewish and other European detainees held at Camp Algiers\, Louisiana\, as part of the U.S. Enemy Alien Control Act during World War II. Miller also is the author of Rise and Fall of the Cosmic Race: The Cult of Mestizaje in Latin America (UT Press\, 2005)\, and the editor of the collection Tango Lessons: Movement\, Sound\, Image and Text in Contemporary Practice (Duke UP\, 2014). Her research has been featured in the radio programs “Tripod: New Orleans at 300” and “Latino USA.”

SUMMARY:Webinar Series on Confronting Clergy Sexual Abuse: "Taking Responsibility"
DESCRIPTION:Fordham’s ongoing “Taking Responsibility: Jesuit Educational Institutions Confront the Causes and Legacy of Clergy Sexual Abuse” project is sponsoring two spring webinars. \nPart I: Memorializing Clergy Sexual Abuse \nJoin us for an interdisciplinary conversation about the ethics\, means\, and meanings of public memorials related to clergy sexual abuse. \nIn this webinar\, three scholars will explore questions about whether\, when\, and how communities can contend with the history and memory of the Roman Catholic clergy sex abuse crisis. With expertise in trauma studies\, liturgy\, theology\, and history\, our panelists ask about the ethics\, means\, and meanings of various efforts to remember clergy sex abuse\, as well as those who suffered and defied it. \nPart II: Whose Stories Are They? Catholic Sex Abuse Records and the Issue of Transparency \nSpringing from a recent legal settlement that promised an abuse documents archive in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe\, this webinar asks questions about the meanings\, limits\, and promise of “transparency” in the effort to understand and ameliorate the Catholic clergy abuse crisis. \nWhat is to be learned\, gained\, and achieved in opening up the archives of Catholic sex abuse? What kind of healing follows from transparency\, if any? Beyond respecting the wishes of survivors who prefer privacy\, are there any other limitations to consider? What does transparency have to do with Catholic theology or with the practices and disciplines of Catholic experience? \nJoin us as four experts—an archivist\, a canon lawyer\, a survivors’ attorney\, and a historian—tackle these and related questions. \nEmail takingresponsibility@fordham.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:2nd Annual Symposium on Data Science and AI: Empowering Society for the Greater Good
DESCRIPTION:As data and computational resources both continue to grow exponentially\, data science—and\, in particular\, machine learning and artificial intelligence—play larger and larger roles in our daily lives. They impact the applications that we use (Google Search and ChatGPT) and the devices we wear (Apple Watch) and deploy in our homes (Amazon Alexa). They also play critical roles in making decisions and decision support\, in areas from medicine to business. AI and data science\, like most technologies\, have the potential to improve our lives and society\, but they also have the potential to do harm. \nIn this full-day symposium\, Fordham faculty and students will present their AI and data science research and applications\, with a focus on work that benefits society. This symposium builds upon the success of last year’s symposium\, which reflected the tremendous diversity of AI and data science research being conducted at Fordham. Many departments were represented\, and the research spanned education\, health care and medicine\, neuroscience\, cybersecurity\, and the environment. With additional support from Fordham’s administration\, this year’s symposium will expand beyond arts and sciences to include the full participation of the Gabelli School of Business. \nA reception will follow.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Shachar Pinsker on 'When Yiddish as Young in Israel”
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Shachar Pinsker will examine the role of Yiddish in Israeli culture. He will argue that even with the denial and self-repression of Yiddish\, the language continued to have a generative power and exert an influence on Israeli culture\, sometimes in covert and unacknowledged ways. Examining Yiddish literature and culture enables us to tackle anew the difficult issues that still bedevil the country: trauma\, victimhood\, conflicts\, and tensions between both Israeli Jews and Palestinians and Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews. \nAbout the Speaker\nShachar Pinsker is a professor of Judaic studies and Middle East studies at the University of Michigan. Pinsker is the author of two award-winning books: Literary Passports: The Making of Modernist Hebrew Fiction in Europe (Stanford University Press\, 2011) and A Rich Brew: How Cafés Created Modern Jewish Culture (NYU Press\, 2018).

SUMMARY:Beyond 9 to 5: Discovering Your Purpose and the Power of One Another
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually for Beyond 9 to 5: Discovering Your Purpose and the Power of One Another with alumna Genevieve Piturro\, FCRH ’83. She will explore the profound journey of finding purpose outside of the workplace. Whether you’re in your second chapter or only on page one\, this event is designed to empower you to make a meaningful difference and find fulfillment on your personal journey. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals\, gain a fresh perspective on purpose\, and explore how you can contribute to the well-being of your community. \nAbout the Speaker\nGenevieve Piturro’s journey has taken her from a little girl’s question in a homeless shelter to the Oprah show to boardrooms and stages across America. A successful TV executive\, Piturro dramatically changed the direction of her life and found her purpose when a 6-year-old girl’s question rocked her world\, and she jumped off the corporate ladder. In 2001\, Piturro founded the hugely successful national organization Pajama Program and has written two books on purposeful leadership and launching a legacy. Her five-time\, award-winning Amazon best-seller\, Purpose\, Passion and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life\, Embrace the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning\, debuted amid the COVID-19 pandemic to rave reviews. \nPiturro’s second book\, Purpose\, Passion\, and Moxie: How to Lead the Way and Leave a Legacy\, a workbook to help you start a nonprofit\, from scratch to success\, was released last September. Today\, Piturro is an inspirational speaker\, author\, and teacher of “Purpose and the Human Connection.”

SUMMARY:Yield Not: Hope and Communion in the Bronx’s Toughest Years
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by journalist Eileen Markey. \nIn the darkest days of the New York City fiscal crisis and its aftermath in the 1970s\, as faith in cities faltered\, Bronx activists argued for the worth of urban neighborhoods and the value of people living in them. In a time of disinvestment\, arson\, and abandonment\, it was community organizing—often marshaled through Catholic parishes and drawing on religious narratives—that demonstrated an alternate vision for the future of the city: rebuilding neighborhoods that had been written off as beyond redemption. \nIn this lecture and discussion\, Eileen Markey\, writer in residence at the Center on Religion and Culture\, will draw on research for her forthcoming book about the Bronx people’s movement of the 1970s and 1980s. \nAbout the Speaker\nEileen Markey is an assistant professor of journalism at Lehman College of the City University of New York and a visiting scholar at the Bronx County Historical Society. She has reported on urban policy and social movements for more than two decades. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Bronx County Historical Society as part of its annual Spring Lecture Series in Bronx History.

SUMMARY:El Niño at the Met: Opera\, Baby Jesus\, and Today’s Refugees
DESCRIPTION:The critically acclaimed opera is premiering at the Metropolitan Opera\, and director Lileana Blain-Cruz will join us for an evening of conversation on art\, faith\, and justice. There will be a special appearance by Daniela Mack\, the mezzo-soprano who will perform a selection from El Niño. \nA Christmas story at Easter time? That’s essentially what the Metropolitan Opera is doing in presenting the company premiere of John Adams’s El Niño. But the opera-oratorio’s focus on the experience of the refugee and the migrant—how they struggled to find acceptance in Biblical times—could not be more contemporary and urgent. \nThe composition incorporates sacred and secular texts in English\, Spanish\, and Latin—from biblical times to the present day—in an extraordinarily dramatic retelling of the Nativity. \nThe vivid new production also marks the Met debut of celebrated theater maker Lileana Blain-Cruz\, resident director at Lincoln Center Theater\, who joins us to talk about the opera and the importance of staging art that matters for our world today. She will be joined by Fadi Skeiker of Fordham Theatre and Fordham theology professor Leo Guardado. \nDavid Gibson\, director of the Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion with the panelists and the audience. \nBONUS: Five pairs of tickets for a performance of the opera will be drawn at random for attendees who sign up at the door\, and all Fordham students and faculty will be eligible for discounted tickets. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the Metropolitan Opera and the Church of St. Paul the Apostle.

SUMMARY:Early Women Psychoanalysts: History\, Biography\, and Contemporary Relevance
DESCRIPTION:Scholar Klara Naszkowska will discuss a new book about the history of women in the early years of psychoanalysis. Each life story is unique\, yet each also intertwines with othes\, sharing numerous recurring themes\, such as gender\, Jewishness\, women’s education\, politics\, and migration. Many have been forgotten largely because of the sociopolitical circumstances of the early 20th century\, the Second World War\, and the Shoah\, or are only remembered because of their personal connections to their male partners.\nThroughout their lives and their stories are ssues that still hold red-hot relevance in our day: gendered discrimination\, antisemitism and other forms of racism\, xenophobia\, and inhumane immigration laws. \nAbout the Speaker\nKlara Naszkowska\, Ph.D.\, is a cultural historian of Jewish women and professor of gender\, sexuality\, and women’s studies. Her research explores the intersections of gender\, race\, class\, ethnicity\, sexuality\, immigration status\, and age. In the classroom\, she encourages students to learn from history by connecting the past events with the current and relevant cultural and sociopolitical topics\, themes\, and issues. Founding director of the International Association for SpielreinStudies and recipient of a Fulbright fellowship\, she is currently a research fellow at Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies. In her recently completed research project\, Naszkowska investigated a largely overlooked diaspora of Jewish Central-Eastern and Eastern European women psychoanalysts forced to emigrate to the United States between 1930 and 1941. She is currently writing a narrative nonfiction book titled Clara Happel\, Judaism\, and Psychoanalysis in America: Memory\, History\, and Interpretation (Routledge Press\, 2025).

SUMMARY:Sacred Landscapes: Memorialization in New York City Public Parks
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch event for A Breathing Place\, written by Amelia Medved\, the 2023–2024 Duffy fellow. There will be a presentation of Medved’s research and a light reception. \nPublic parks are the theater of New York City civic life\, serving as spaces of recreation\, rest\, learning\, and protest. They host the diverse\, occasionally conflicting desires of the living\, while simultaneously exhibiting a record of our shared public history. Medved’s research concerns the contemporary use of park memorial spaces in the Bronx\, Brooklyn\, and Manhattan\, specifically those that are consecrated burial sites. \nIn A Breathing Place\, Medved explores what it means to designate public space as sacred at four case study sites: the Prison Ship Martyrs Memorial in Fort Greene Park\, the Enslaved African burial ground in Van Cortlandt Park\, the public cemetery on Hart Island\, and the National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmelia Medved\, FCRH ‘23\, majored in environmental studies and visual arts. She currently works as a studio assistant at SCAPE\, a New York City-based landscape architecture firm. Medved is passionate about environmental justice\, specifically with a focus on parks equity and community-based ecological stewardship.

SUMMARY:Darfur Hospitals Under Fire
DESCRIPTION:Recent fighting in El Fasher\, the capital of North Darfur\, hit hospitals and most health clinics hard\, and international agencies withdrew. In the aftermath\, the surviving Sudanese medical teams combined efforts to turn a modest maternity hospital and a tin-roof clinic into the city’s last trauma wards. Join us as Darfur Peace and Development Organization (DPDO) President Suliman Giddo\, who has just returned from the Chad border; Dr. Eilaf Mohamed\, who served in the maternity hospital and escaped wounded; and filmmaker/emergency coordinator Daniel J. Gerstle will share their story to illuminate how the international community could do more to help. \nSudan’s western region of Darfur has suffered more than two decades of violence and worsening droughts\, a year of civil war\, and now the brutal siege of its last government and joint force-controlled city\, El Fasher. Over the three-month siege\, fighters have directly targeted hospitals\, medical teams\, pharmacies\, and even health clinics. \nSpeakers \n\nSuliman Giddo\, Ph.D.\, founder and president of DPDO\, will speak about how organizations like his\, the Emergency Response Rooms\, and others could do more with the help of international partners.\nEilaf Mohamed\, M.D.\, an OBGYN from Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher and a physician building a career in psychology\, was one of the first medical staff wounded. She will share what it was like and what could help her colleagues.\nDaniel J. Gerstle\, founder and director of Humanitarian Bazaar and a former emergency coordinator\, is now producing documentary films and has been supporting Sudanese journalists and medical teams to tell the story of health care under fire.\n\nRuth Mukwana\, senior fellow\, and Lily Egan\, communications officer\, both of the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs at Fordham University\, will facilitate the webinar.

Probably not. This enduring lack of awareness persists because these spaces intentionally remain veiled in secrecy and privacy\, and the prevailing image\, as portrayed in productions like Netflix’s Unorthodox\, perpetuates the notion of the Hasidic woman as uncreative and subservient to male authority. \nIn this talk\, you will learn about these hidden artistic worlds\, the experience of Hasidic women who now perform for public audiences\, and their challenges to transform the image of Hasidicness. As an active observer and participant\, Roda will bring unique insights into these private feminine worlds. Stars like Bracha Jaffe and Shaindy Platzer are household names in these circles\, and the impact of their artistic productions is broad for Jewish music. \nThere will be a live musical performance following the oral presentation. \nAbout the Speakers\nJessica Roda is an anthropologist and ethnomusicologist whose research interests include music\, religion\, cultural heritage\, gender\, health\, and media. After a first monograph about the social and political implications of Sephardic music in France titled Se réinventer au present: Les Judéo-Espagnols de France (PUR 2018)\, she wrote a second book telling the captivating stories of ultra-Orthodox Jewish women and those who broke away from religion\, including their use of art\, digital tools\, and technology to challenge and reinforce Orthodoxy\, titled For Women and Girls Only: Reshaping Jewish Orthodoxy through the Arts in the Digital Age (NYU Press\, 2024). For this research\, she was awarded the Cashmere Award from the AJS Women’s Caucus (2021) and the Hadassah Brandeis Institute Research Award (2021). \nMalky Goldman is an actor\, artist\, and writer from a Yiddish-speaking home in Jerusalem\, with a fine arts degree from Hunter College. Her films and TV shows include The Vigil\, The Performance\, Unorthodox\, The Binding of Itzik\, and Castles. She has performed on stage in Hedda Gabler\, Rhinoceros\, and God of Vengeance. \nRiki Rose is a Yiddish singer-songwriter\, entertainer\, and chazzan who grew up in an ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community in Brooklyn. Inspired by her upbringing\, Rose’s original music focuses on mental health awareness and healing\, blending blues and jazz. For the performance\, she will present a selection of cantorial pieces\, Yiddish covers\, and her own original compositions.
