SUMMARY:Guiding Hands for Sacred Scripts: Torah Pointers\, Art\, and Contexts
DESCRIPTION:The act of beautifying or enhancing mitzvot and Jewish ritual is reflected in the rabbinic idea of hiddur mitzvah. One who enhances a holy act and a ritual object with aesthetic and pleasing design is fulfilling this directive. As suggested in Psalm 29: “Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Make each object functional\, as well as beautiful\, with fine materials\, craftsmanship\, and artistry and you shall be glorifying God. \nAccording to the medieval rabbi Moses Maimonides\, there is a special mitzvah to beautify a sefer Torah\, a Torah scroll\, the holiest object in Judaism. Over the centuries\, special elements were created to beautify the sefer Torah. One of them is a Torah pointer\, or a yad. Because the Torah scroll is considered so holy that it cannot be directly touched\, the Torah pointer is used in the ritual reading of the Torah to keep the reader from directly touching the parchment. \nThe exhibit “Guiding Hands for Sacred Scripts: Torah Pointers\, Art\, and Contexts\, Torah Pointers from the Barr Foundation Collection” highlights Torah yads from different regions and times. Some were created as functional pointers\, but others\, less functional\, are works of art\, inspired by the idea of what a pointer is. All\, however\, are connected to the idea of beautifying religious ritual and showing the importance of the Torah in the Jewish tradition. The exhibit also engages with the idea of what Jewish art is: art created for ritual use and art inspired by Jewish texts and traditions. It explores different materials and interpretations of the Torah yad and places them in conversation with other historical artifacts: medieval manuscripts and printed books from Fordham’s Special Collections and Archives. \nIn addition to the Barr Foundation Yad Collection\, we are pleased to have on view the work of two 20th-century American artists\, Ben Zion and Mordechai Rosenstein. These painters/sculptors sought to convey Jewish concepts through their devotion to art. Through the lens of modernism\, Ben Zion\, a multi-media artist\, demonstrated that expressionism can be used for a sacred purpose. He aimed to make his deep knowledge of Jewish heritage accessible and meaningful to a wider audience. So\, too\, Rosenstein\, who used bold colors and flowing Hebrew calligraphy to transform sacred texts and concepts to express their beauty through joyfulness and spirituality. \nThis exhibit has been made possible by the Hadassah R. Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham and the Barr Family Foundation. \nThe opening is on Sunday\, September 14 at 4:30 p.m. at the Walsh Family Library\, O’Hare Special Collections.

SUMMARY:EXHIBIT OPENING: Fordham’s Babel: An Exploration of World Languages in the Special Collections
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, featuring centuries-old books and manuscripts\, explores Western interest in languages. At first\, we try to situate the story of Babel in a non-Western context\, highlighting non-European languages. The exhibit then traces the Renaissance study of languages through the lens of the Bible and its translations and of ancient material relics\, such as obelisks\, coins\, and other remains. We also showcase the tools scholars produced to study languages—for example\, medieval and Renaissance-era grammar books and lexicons. The exhibit ends with a reflection on the impact of language study and classification on the formation of identities and prejudices in the Western world. How did early 20th-century Westerners classify languages and peoples? What does it say about their understanding of nationalities and cultures and their place within a society of their own? \nThe exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio\, Miriam Krakowski\, FCRH ‘27\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Banned! A History of Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Books\, libraries\, librarians\, and writers are subject to attacks—again. Recent bans of books across the United States targeting Black history\, the Holocaust\, and LGBTQ themes have dominated the news. But book censorship has a longer history. “Banned! A History of Censorship” explores this history\, along with practices of censorship\, the methods to control and ban books and ideas\, the resilience of censored works\, and attempts to push back. \nAs the Talmud says\, “The parchment is burning\, but its letters are flying to the heavens.” Authorities could ban books\, but they could not destroy them or the ideas contained in them entirely. Indeed\, while today some voices are heard complaining about universities not teaching major texts of “Western civilization\,” many of these books were originally banned across Europe—by Protestant and Catholic authorities: Thomas Hobbes\, John Locke\, David Hume\, Denis Diderot\, Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, John Stuart Mill\, Immanuel Kant\, and more. Major works of literature—cherished today—were also banned\, among them Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables or Alexander Dumas’s Three Musketeers\, which were on “Index Librorum Prohibitorum\,” or the Index of Prohibited Books. \nAs this exhibit demonstrates\, cultural\, religious\, and moral values are never static. They change over time. If some of the books and ideas become acceptable\, others might become abhorrent. Because Fordham as a Catholic and Jesuit university was obliged to abide by the Index of Prohibited Books until its abolition in 1966\, the exhibit also explores how Fordham dealt with books that were included in the Index. \nThe exhibit is on view at the Walsh Family Library in the main exhibition hall on the first floor and in the Special Collections on the fourth floor. \nThe exhibit is a collaboration between Fordham University’s Walsh Family Library—especially its O’Hare Special Collections—and the Center for Jewish Studies. It was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio; Amy Levine-Kennedy; Hannorah Ragusa\, FCRH ’26; and Magda Teter. Vivian Shen at the special collections and archives set up the exhibit with great care and attention to detail. Additional research has been provided by Samantha Sclafani\, FCLC ’22\, and Kevin Bogucki\, FCLC ’23. The lecture series and student research associated with the exhibit have been made possible through the generosity of donors to the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham.

SUMMARY:'The Light of the Revival: Stained-Glass Design for Restituted Synagogues of Ukraine' by Eugeny Kotlyar
DESCRIPTION:An opening reception will be held on September 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. \nThe exhibition offers a broad perspective on the revival of Ukrainian synagogues after Ukraine’s independence\, showcasing three sets of stained-glass windows that were designed by Eugeny Kotlyar and partially implemented in Ukrainian synagogues from 1995 to 2005. Two early works shown here were the first samples of stained-glass designs for modern Ukrainian synagogues\, which set a new trend. \nThe first of them\, stained-glass windows for the Kharkiv Choral Synagogue (1995)\, is on the theme of Jewish holidays. The second project—an ensemble of stained-glass windows for the Kyiv synagogue in Podil (2002)—focuses on the holy places of the land of Israel and the tribes of Israel. The third work\, Jerusalem and the Tribes of Israel\, is a part of the original design of the Torah Ark itself in the Galitska synagogue in Kyiv (2005). In Kotlyar’s artistic vision\, the stained-glass window projects the light\, turns the metaphysical into the physical\, materializes the speculative image\, and\, ultimately\, fills the prayer with color and light. \nThis exhibition is made possible thanks to the generosity of Fordham Trustee Henry S. Miller\, Bruce Beal\, Eugene Shvidler\, GABELLI ’92\, and anonymous donors to the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham.
