SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: “Oy\, Joy! Can We Talk About (Jewish) Joy?”
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Thursday\, October 15 at 4:30 p.m. for the opening of a new exhibition at Fordham’s Walsh Family Library\, “Oy\, Joy! Can We Talk About (Jewish) Joy?” This exhibit explores these themes through the work of modern artists and historical artifacts from Fordham’s Special Collections. We bring together in conversation works of artists Maira Kalman\, Deborah Kass\, Jacqueline Kott-Wolle\, Simone Levy Greenwood\, Holly Markhoff\, ES23\, and Nina Talbot\, along with the textile art of Sharon and Jerry Goldberg.  \nIn a world filled with pain and suffering\, tormented by wars\, climate crisis\, pandemics\, and disruption\, is it possible to talk about joy? Is it even appropriate? Yet\, in the most difficult times\, there is also a deep need for joy. As Maya Angelou once said\, “We need joy as we need air.” \nSpeaking of joy does not mean disregarding sadness and pain. In fact\, joy and pain often go together. In Jewish tradition\, joy is very frequently tied to mourning and suffering. There is often an “Oy\, vey” aspect in an experience of joy. Sometimes someone’s joy clashes with someone else’s suffering and pain. Sometimes joy is an act of resistance. Sometimes joy is a manifestation of resilience and recovery. \nThe featured speaker will be Erez DeGolan\, PhD\, who will give a talk “Joy Vey: Can We Talk about Ancient Jewish Joy?”exploring the topic of joy in Jewish tradition. Drawing on ancient rabbinic thought\, this opening talk explores the heights and dangers of Jewish joy—and asks how joy and sorrow can coexist in a single shared experience. \nErez DeGolan is an assistant professor of classical rabbinic Judaism in Fordham’s theology department. His research and teaching combine textual\, historical\, and critical methods to examine the lived experience of rabbis in late antiquity. \nThe opening will be hosted by Amy Levine-Kennedy and Magda Teter. \nThe exhibit was curated by Erez DeGolan\, Amy Levine-Kennedy\, and Magda Teter. It is made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham\, the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Collection Endowment.  \n“Oy\, Joy!” will be on view at the Walsh Family Library on the 4th floor in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room and in the Special Collections and Archives from October 15\, 2026\, through February 2027.

SUMMARY:Workshop: "Building a Knowledge Graph of Classical Rabbinic Literature"
DESCRIPTION:A knowledge graph represents relationships among people\, texts\, places\, concepts\, and other entities as a network. Classical rabbinic literature\, composed approximately between 70 and 600 CE and including the Palestinian and Babylonian Talmuds\, contains a dense web of such relationships: texts cite and interpret other texts; rabbis cite one another and appear in groups and chains of transmission; and people and passages are connected to places\, legal questions\, and broader topics. \nThis workshop will describe how we are using artificial intelligence and other digital tools to build a knowledge graph of this literature\, how the graph can be used\, and its potential to open new avenues of research in the field. \nMichael L. Satlow is professor of religious studies and Judaic studies at Brown University. He specializes in the history of Jews and Judaism in antiquity. His most recent books are An Enchanted World: The Shared Religious Landscape of Late Antiquity and How the Bible Became Holy. He is the founder and director of the “Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine” project\, a digital corpus of ancient inscriptions from the region\, and is now working with a research team in Israel on creating a networked approach to all of rabbinic literature. He has held fellowships from the NEH\, ACLS\, John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, and the Fulbright program\, among others.
