SUMMARY:Ghosts of a Holy War: 1929 and Roots of the Arab/Israeli Conflict w/ith HIJS
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Yardena Schwartz\nJournalist/Producer  \nJoin us for a powerful discussion with award-winning journalist and bestselling author Yardena Schwartz as she shares insights from her new book\, Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict.  \nSparked by the discovery of a box of century-old letters in a Memphis attic\, Schwartz uncovers the story of a young American Jew killed in the 1929 Hebron massacre–a little-known but pivotal moment that she argues is ground zero of the conflict still raging today. Drawing from deeply personal archival material\, wide-ranging interviews\, and decades of context\, Schwartz weaves a gripping and even-handed narrative that connects the past to the present\, shedding new light on the events of October 7\, 2023\, and the enduring struggle for peace in the land both Israelis and Palestinians call home. \nRegister\nRegister to receive the Zoom link to join us online.

SUMMARY:Reconceptualizing Anti-Jewish Bigotry with the Haberman Institute
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Britt Tevis\, J.D./Ph.D.\nAmerican Jewish Historian; Phyllis Backer Assistant Professor in Jewish Studies\, Department of History\, Syracuse University \nAntisemitism in the United States\, though a pressing subject in contemporary politics\, is poorly understood. Scholars and public intellectuals often cast antisemitism simplistically\, identifying it as a conspiracy theory or as an individual defect. Yet exploring incidents of anti-Jewish bigotry\, violence\, and discrimination in U.S. history reveals a far more complex reality. What binds anti-Jewish episodes and movements in the United States is the desire to undermine and even eliminate Jews’ civil and political rights. Historically\, Christian nationalism\, racial science\, and conspiratorial thinking constitute the three forces that have inspired that objective.  \nUsing archival sources spanning from 1654 through the present\, Dr. Tevis will illuminate an array of forgotten examples of antisemitism in the United States to re

SUMMARY:Poems for Our Days with the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Rachel Korazim\, Israeli Scholar and Educator \nThe calamity of October 7 and the war that followed had left Israel and the Jewish world in shock and despair. The unimaginable became our reality. As more details of the horror unfold\, as we are facing the painful daily losses in battle and the plight of the hostages and their families. Not less troubling\, are the terrible losses and devastation in Gaza. We find ourselves less and less able to talk about it. The expression most commonly used is ein milim — No Words! \nYet – some struggle and do find words to express pain and anger\, despair and abandonment. \nIn our session\, we will read and discuss poetry written these very days. The poems are often raw and painful\, while at the same time full of love and even hope. Some are in the form of prayers such as a new ÒKadish’\, and many reference biblical motifs\, such as the Akeida or Joseph. Others address the new Òcorrect’ language since one cannot say any more simple thin

SUMMARY:Unpacking Future Trends in American Judaism with the Haberman Institute
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the transformative landscape of Jewish identity and community in the twenty-first century. As we navigate this era\, it is crucial to recognize the five pivotal factors reshaping the American Jewish experience: technology\, demography\, generational behavior\, religious culture\, and the concept of the sovereign self. \nDr. Windmueller will share insight into how these elements influence both personal and collective identities within the Jewish community. For instance\, the advancement of technology has not only altered the way we communicate and connect but has also redefined the avenues through which Jewish learning and practice occur. Similarly\, demographic shifts are bringing forth a more diverse array of voices and experiences that enrich the tapestry of Jewish life. \nJoin us to discover a deeper understanding of these extraordinary and challenging features of the Ònew’ American Jewish experience\, as well as projections for the future of Judaism in an ever-changing world.

SUMMARY:Leonard Bernstein's Jewish Roots: A Musical Journey with the Haberman Institute
DESCRIPTION:Whenever Leonard Bernstein visited his parents’ home in Boston\, he always knew a special place awaited him at the bimah of Congregation Mishkan Tefila\, their beloved synagogue. This was far more than a mere tradition; it was a testament to the deep-rooted importance of Jewish faith and culture in Bernstein’s life. The rich musical heritage he absorbed never left him\, shaping his extraordinary career and artistry. \nIn this music-filled presentation\, Saul Lilienstein\, a student of Bernstein’s\, will bring to life the vibrant music infused with Yiddishkeit that Bernstein composed.  Join us to experience excerpts from his works\, including Symphony No. 1 (subtitled Jeremiah)\, Symphony No. 3 (Kaddish)\, and the enchanting Chichester Psalms\, among others.  \nLilienstein will weave in a tapestry of personal anecdotes exploring Bernstein’s deep connection to Jewish values… a unique opportunity to delve into the heart and soul of a musical legend!
