SUMMARY:Webinar: Jesse Mirotznik Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Portrayal of Pagan Worship in the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism\, a talk by Jesse Mirotznik with response by Lawrence Shiffman \nIn Mirotznik’s monograph\, The Portrayal of Pagan Worship in the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism\, he argues that a decisive change took place in ancient Jewish portrayals of the Other around the 3rd century B.C.E. In Israelite/Jewish literature composed up to this point\, the worship of other gods and the reverence of their icons is consistently depicted as sincere\, and its appeal\, whether to Israelites or non-Israelites\, is\, as a rule\, not questioned. At some point around the end of the 3rd century B.C.E.\, however\, a new form of argument arises: that the worship of other gods and the reverence of their icons is\, in fact\, an entirely unattractive practice\, and that even its practitioners must inwardly reject it. Put differently: while the devotees of ‘false gods’ appear to take these deities seriously\, even they must know\, on some level\, that their gods are nonsense. In this lecture\, he will attempt to demonstrate some elements of this shift in ancient Jewish portrayals\, in particular focusing on greed and sex\, and their relationship to idolatry.” \nJesse Mirotznik is a scholar of the Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism. He earned his PhD from Harvard University\, completed postdoctoral fellowships at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at Bar-Ilan University\, and is now an Universitätsassistent (Postdoc) at the Department of Jewish Studies at the University of Vienna. In his research\, he investigates how ancient Israelites and Jews pictured other religions. His first book on this topic\, The Portrayal of Pagan Worship in the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism\, was recently published with Cambridge University Press. \nLawrence H. Schiffman\, PhD\, is the Global Distinguished Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University and Director of the Global Institute for Advanced Research in Jewish Studies. A world-renowned specialist in the Dead Sea Scrolls\, Judaism in late antiquity\, and the history of Jewish law\, he has authored over 200 articles and numerous seminal books\, including Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls and From Text to Tradition. Dr. Schiffman frequently shares his expertise with the public\, having been featured in documentaries for PBS\, the BBC\, A&E\, and CNN. He received his BA\, MA\, and PhD from Brandeis University and is a past president of the Association for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Essential Insights: Jesuit Thanksgiving
DESCRIPTION:The Jesuit tradition calls us to be men and women for others: to recognize our responsibility to our communities and to put our values into action. This Thanksgiving edition of Essential Insights will explore the importance of Fordham’s Jesuit mission and what it means to live as men and women for others\, not only during the holiday season\, but throughout the year. \nTogether\, we’ll reflect on how the principles of gratitude\, service\, community\, and care for others can shape the way we engage with our families\, workplaces\, communities\, and the world around us. \nWhether you’re a longtime member of the Fordham community or looking to reconnect with the mission that brought you here\, we hope you’ll join us for this meaningful conversation.

SUMMARY:A Virtual Tour of Woodlawn Cemetery with David Herszenson
DESCRIPTION:One of the many Hebrew terms describing a cemetery is bet mo’ed le-khol ḥai (“the house appointed for all living” from a verse in Job 30:23). In this webinar\, linked to our walking tours focusing on Jewish Life in the Bronx\, we will explore a slice of American Jewish history preserved in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx\, which counts among its permanent residents scions of American Jewish life: Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia\, composer Irving Berlin\, the Lehman family\, and many others. \nDavid Herszenson is a physician living in the Bronx and a trained tour guide with a love of the Bronx and its different neighborhoods. He has been doing walking tours of the Jewish sites in the Bronx for Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies in the last three years as part of Fordham’s Bronx Jewish History Project.
