SUMMARY:The Faith of Others: The Inspiration of Interreligious Dialogue in Light of Nostra Aetate
DESCRIPTION:This October marks 60 years since the Second Vatican Council adopted the historic Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions\, called Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate is best known for revisiting and reforming the long history of Catholic misrepresentation and mistreatment of Jews and provided a baseline for Catholic interreligious engagement in the contemporary world. \nHaving grown up in a home in which ecumenical discussions were vital\, Susannah Heschel\, Ph.D.\, Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and chair of the Jewish Studies Program\, will recount personal memories of her father\, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel\, and of the many Christian theologians and clergy who came to their home. Taking up the theological as well as the historical trajectory that led to Nostra Aetate\, she will give particular attention to the relationship between Rabbi Heschel and Augustin Cardinal Bea\, charting the new theological directions they represented regarding divine inspiration and prophecy. She will conclude with reflections on the extent to which interfaith encounters can also become moments of prayer. \nResponding to Professor Heschel will be Heather Miller Rubens\, Executive Director of the Institute for Islamic\, Christian\, and Jewish Studies in Baltimore\, who will look from this history into the present and future—reflecting on the powers and limits of Nostra Aetate in our own time\, as well as on its significance beyond the Catholic-Jewish relationship. \nReception to follow in Platt Court \nThe 2025 Paul Wattson Lecture at Fordham University is co-sponsored and co-organized by the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement\, Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute\, and\, at Fordham: the departments of theology and Jewish studies\, the Center on Religion and Culture\, the Francis and Ann Curran Center for Catholic Studies\, Campus Ministry\, and the Institute on Religion\, Law and Lawyer’s Work.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Zeke Mohammed\, FCRH 2026\, Engineering Physics Major\, will present “Meson Mass Calculations in Lattice QCD Using SU(2) Gauge Theory”. \nAbstract: Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) describes the strong nuclear force but\nbecomes strongly coupled at low energies where perturbative methods fail. Lattice QCD\nresolves this by discretizing spacetime into a finite grid\, transforming the quantum field\ntheory into a computationally tractable problem. This work implements SU(2) gauge\ntheory—a simplified two-color version of QCD that preserves essential non-perturbative\nphenomena like confinement and asymptotic freedom—to calculate light meson masses\nincluding the pion\, rho\, and sigma. \nWe employ Monte Carlo methods with the Wilson gauge action to generate thermalized\ngauge field configurations and solve the discretized Dirac equation for quark\npropagators. Meson masses are extracted from the exponential decay of correlation\nfunctions\, with statistical uncertainties determined through jackknife analysis.\nCalculations span multiple lattice volumes (44 to 83×16) and quark mass parameters to\nsystematically study mass hierarchies and chiral symmetry breaking. Our results\nsuccessfully reproduce expected mass ordering (mπ < mρ) and demonstrate how\nconfinement emerges from gauge dynamics to bind quarks into hadrons\, providing\nquantitative insights into non-perturbative QCD phenomena. \nMatthew Smith\, FCRH 2027\, Physics Major\, will present: “Pion Masses and Taste Splitting at Coarse Lattice Spacings”. \nAbstract: On the lattice taste splitting of pions should be degenerate at O(a2). It is shown\,\nhowever\, that corrections of order O(a4 ) are required to describe the observed masses.\nThis project attempted to extract the masses of the pions on a coarse lattice by\nuncorrelated\, correlated\, and blocked-correlated fits to evaluate discrepancies of the\ntheory. Data from 5001 configurations and a lattice temporal dimension of 48 was used.\nWhile the pseudo-scalar pion’s mass was able to be extracted\, the vector\, scalar\, axial\nvector\, and tensor tastes had significant errors. It is shown that these coarse lattices\nintroduced large errors as well as oscillatory “opposite-parity” contributions to the\ncorrelators\, complicating mass extractions. Newer lattice simulations\, however\, show\npromising results for the non-goldstone pions while still having some complications from\nlarge lattice spacings.

SUMMARY:The Anne Golomb Hoffman Memorial Lecture—Ilana Pardes on "Ruth: A Migrant’s Tale"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural Anne Golomb Hoffman Memorial Lecture\, founded in memory of Fordham’s long-time faculty Anne Golomb Hoffman\, who passed away in November 2024. The inaugural lecture will be delivered by Dr. Ilana Pardes\, with a response by Karina Hogan. \nThe biblical Ruth has inspired numerous readers from diverse cultural backgrounds across many centuries. In this insightful volume\, Ilana Pardes invites us to marvel at the ever-changing perspectives on Ruth’s foreignness. She explores the rabbis’ lauding of Ruth as an exemplary convert and the Zohar’s insistence that Ruth’s Moabite background is vital to her redemptive powers. In moving to early modern French art\, she looks at pastoral paintings in which Ruth becomes a local gleaner\, holding sheaves in her hands. Pardes concludes with contemporary adaptations in literature\, photography\, and film in which Ruth is admired for being a paradigmatic migrant woman. Ruth’s afterlives not only reveal much about their own times\, but also shine new light on this remarkable ancient tale and point to its enduring significance. In our own era of widespread migration and dislocation\, Ruth remains as relevant as ever. \nAbout the Speakers\nIlana Pardes is the Katharine Cornell Professor of Comparative Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She received her Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of California\, Berkeley in 1990. This fall\, she will be a visiting professor at Princeton University. Her work has focused on the nexus of the Bible\, literature\, and culture\, as well as on questions of gender\, aesthetics\, and hermeneutics. She is the author of Countertraditions in the Bible: A Feminist Approach (Harvard University Press\, 1992)\, The Biography of Ancient Israel: National Narratives in the Bible (University of California Press\, 2000)\, Melville’s Bibles (University of California\, 2008)\, Agnon’s Moonstruck Lovers: The Song of Songs in Israeli Culture (University of Washington Press\, 2013)\, and The Song of Songs: A Biography (Princeton University Press\, 2019). \nKarina Martin Hogan has been a member of the theology department at Fordham University since 2005. Prior to that\, she taught for two years at St. Anselm College in Manchester\, New Hampshire. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in classics from Swarthmore College and a Master of Arts degree and doctorate from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. Most of her research has been on the deuterocanonical or noncanonical literature of early Judaism. She has a particular interest in wisdom literature and apocalyptic literature. Recently\, however\, her research has focused on the book of Ruth in the Old Testament\, approaching it from feminist and contextual perspectives. She is currently the associate chair of the theology department for the Lincoln Center campus. \nAnne Golomb Hoffman was a Professor of English and Modern Hebrew Literature at Fordham. Professor Hoffman published broadly about Hebrew literature and Jewish writing\, gender\, and psychoanalysis. She translated important Hebrew works into English. At Fordham\, she occasionally taught courses in Israeli literature and film as part of the Program in Middle East Studies\, and in 1988\, at Byron Shafer’s suggestion\, she developed and led the annual colloquium in Middle East Studies. In the 1990s\, she created a highly successful annual series at Fordham\, titled the Nostra Aetate Dialogue\, which brought together a Jewish scholar and a Christian scholar to address questions pertinent to Jewish-Catholic reconciliation. She also helped found and enthusiastically led the Jewish Texts Reading Group for many years\, which continues to meet regularly. She was also a special member of the Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine of the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research\, and an accomplished painter.

SUMMARY:Marion Chair Installation
DESCRIPTION:Fordham University is pleased to announce the appointment of Nina Rowe as the John L. Marion Chair in Art History\, Painting\, and Sculpture and requests the pleasure of your company at the installation ceremony and lecture. \nLecture:\nDancing and Dalliance: Picturing Revelry in the Late Middle Ages \nIn 15th-century Germany\, dancing was cause for celebration and concern. Poets crafted accounts of boisterous roundelays\, while Christian moralists and city administrators sought to rein in the hip-shaking and vigorous twirls of new dance moves. Images of dancing abound in illuminations\, wall paintings\, sculptures\, and prints made for urban audiences\, but until now such works have been little explored by scholars. This lecture considers images of dance parties and performers\, exploring the ways in which art in the late Middle Ages could be deployed to rein in\, but also inspire\, footloose fun.

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Jacob Beckert\, “New York Capital and the Making of the State of Israel”
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s and 1930s\, British-ruled Palestine captured the imagination of Western investors\, transforming it from a distant land of religious pilgrimage into a promising frontier of economic opportunity. Driven by a mix of religious sentiment\, humanitarianism\, and the allure of profitable investments\, Palestine became a site for ambitious economic ventures. \nCentral to this movement was a small but influential circle of wealthy New York Jews who established the Palestine Economic Corporation (PEC). These prominent figures\, including notable New Yorkers such as Felix Warburg\, Herbert Lehman\, and Louis Marshall\, envisioned Palestine not as a Jewish national home but as a refuge for Jewish refugees at a time when most nations were shutting their doors. By emphasizing investment over charity\, they sought to distance themselves from Zionism\, a controversial movement in the Jewish world at the time\, and maintain what they claimed to be a “non-political” approach to the region. \nYet\, despite their stated neutrality\, the PEC’s economic initiatives deeply influenced the region’s trajectory\, playing a critical role in the establishment of Jewish settlements and infrastructure. In fact\, their ostensibly apolitical investments inadvertently placed them at the heart of the region’s unfolding inter-ethnic tensions and the eventual establishment of the State of Israel. \nJoin us for this fascinating exploration of New York’s economic influence in shaping modern Israel\, revealing how the complex interplay between finance\, politics\, and humanitarianism laid the groundwork for one of the twentieth century’s most significant geopolitical events. \nJacob Beckert is a historian of Israel/Palestine\, American Jewish history\, and global capitalism. His research focuses on the complex intersections of economic development\, finance\, and political transformation in Israel/Palestine\, particularly how American Jewish investment shaped the region in the twentieth century. He is especially interested in the ways financial actors and institutions have influenced questions of nationalism\, philanthropy\, and development\, often blurring the boundaries between economic and political projects. In 2025-2026\, Beckert is a short-term fellow in the Fordham-NYPL Fellowship in Jewish Studies program.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation from Stephen Holler\, Ph.D.\, chair and professor of physics and engineering physics\, as he presents “FRESH Air: Beyond Particulate Matter”. \nThe Fordham Regional Environmental Sensor for Healthy Air (FRESH Air) brings together the university community and the Bronx community to monitor and discuss air pollution that adversely affects the city’s poorest borough. Disparities in pollution exposure cut along socio-economic lines and lead to disparities in health outcomes. The Bronx has the highest rates of asthma in New York City and accounts for 24% of all asthma-related deaths statewide. Chronic exposure to high levels of particulate matter (PM)\, especially fine PM\, can lead to inflammation and the development of respiratory and cardiovascular disease. However\, harmful pollution comes in more varieties than just PM. Methane\, the principal component in natural gas used for cooking and heating\, is not only a potent greenhouse gas but also a precursor to ground-level ozone\, which can exacerbate asthma and other respiratory diseases. More than 4\,300 asthma-related emergency department visits occur each year in New York City (32% of those cases originate in the Bronx)\, costing no less than $2.3 million. Our recent expansion of FRESH Air maps methane concentrations around NYC\, with a primary focus on the Bronx. In addition to a background level at least 5% greater than the global mean atmospheric methane (GMAM) level\, we note areas that are consistently 20% greater than the GMAM. This presentation will focus on the distributed methane measurements and corresponding PM measurements\, and their impacts.

SUMMARY:'The Rise of Talmud': A Conversation with Moulie Vidas and Alyssa Gray
DESCRIPTION:This year\, Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies brings programs touching on a theme of disagreement in Jewish History. Join us for a discussion of The Rise of Talmud (Oxford University Press\, 2025)\, Moulie Vidas’s new book on the emergence of commentary on rabbinic teachings in the third and fourth centuries CE. In conversation with Alyssa Gray\, Vidas will explore how “The Rise of Talmud” reframes the Palestinian Talmud or Yerushalmi Talmud\, as it is called in Hebrew\, as a dynamic site of innovation and disagreement\, where tradition is reimagined as a human project and interpretation centers on textual criticism\, attribution\, and the intellectual agency of the reader. \nSpeakers: \nMoulie Vidas is an Associate Professor of Religion and the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University. His research focuses on classical Jewish texts\, especially the Talmuds\, in the context of late antiquity. He is the author of Tradition and the Formation of the Talmud (Princeton University Press\, 2014) and the recently published The Rise of Talmud (Oxford University Press\, 2025)\, which explores the emergence of commentary as a defining mode of rabbinic scholarship. Vidas also co-edited Late Ancient Knowing: Explorations in Intellectual History (University of California Press\, 2015) and is a faculty member in Princeton’s Program in the Ancient World. \nAlyssa Gray is the Emily S. and Rabbi Bernard H. Mehlman Chair in Rabbinics and Professor of Codes and Responsa Literature at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. Her scholarship examines the development of Talmudic literature\, the history of Jewish law\, and literary studies of post-talmudic legal writings. Gray is the author of Charity in Rabbinic Judaism: Atonement\, Rewards\, and Righteousness (Routledge\, 2019; paperback ed.\, 2020) and A Talmud in Exile: The Influence of Yerushalmi Avodah Zarah on the Formation of Bavli Avodah Zarah (Brown\, 2005; 2nd digital edition\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Elisheva Carlebach and Debra Kaplan\, “Matrons\, Murderesses and Maidservants: New Voices of Jewish Women in Early Modern Europe”
DESCRIPTION:This year\, Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies brings programs touching on a theme of disagreement in Jewish history. This lecture is part of the series. \nIn small villages\, bustling cities\, and crowded ghettos across early modern Europe\, Jewish women were increasingly active participants in the daily life of their communities\, managing homes and professions\, leading institutions and sororities\, and crafting objects and texts of exquisite beauty. \nDebra Kaplan and Elisheva Carlebach will explore the kehillah\, a lively and thriving form of communal life that sustained European Jews for three centuries\, and retrieve vibrant portraits of Jewish women of all walks of life and their place within their homes\, their community\, and the marketplace. \nElisheva Carlebach is the Salo Wittmayer Baron Professor of Jewish History\, Culture\, and Society at Columbia University. Her books include Palaces of Time: Jewish Calendar and Culture in Early Modern Europe. \nDebra Kaplan is the Samuel Braun Chair for the History of the Jews in Germany at Bar-Ilan University. Her books include Beyond Expulsion: Jews\, Christians and Reformation Strasbourg and The Patrons and Their Poor: Jewish Community and Public Charity in Early Modern Germany.
