We're re-inaugurating the Bard parsha circle, open to everyone (though especially students) of all religious backgrounds, and meeting weekly on Tuesdays at 1:30 pm in the HAC seminar room. As a group, we’ll wrestle with the familiar-foreign biblical text, using Robert Alter’s new translation. Snacks will be provided! With Rabbi Joshua Boettiger.

      Federica Francesconi (University at Albany, SUNY)
    Olin 201  5:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    This lecture will explore Jewish women’s cultural survival in the early modern Italian ghettos through two case studies. In sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Venice, many Jewish women produced textiles in their own homes. They created an informal community of female artisans that challenged the anonymity of their underpaid work and even their invisibility in the religious domain. Additionally, in 1735 twenty-two well-to-do Jewish women in Modena established a confraternity for mutual aid to “all sick women, rich and poor, in the ghetto.” This body involved women of all classes as administrators, workers, and caregivers and offered “invisible” Jewish women a degree of agency without subverting existing Jewish social and legal structures. Both these “communities” created female spaces that were economic, social, and devotional resources and reconfigured women’s presence in ghettoized societies.

    Federica Francesconi is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Judaic Studies Program at the University at Albany, SUNY. Her book Invisible Enlighteners: The Jewish Merchants of Modena from the Renaissance to the Emancipation (UPenn Press, 2021), won the 2022 Marraro Prize from the American Historical Association and was a 2021 National Jewish Books Awards Finalist. She is the co-editor of Jewish Women’s History from Antiquity to the Present (Wayne State UP 2021), which was also a 2021 National Jewish Book Award Finalist.

    Silent film screening with live original music
    Ottaway Film Center  7:30 pm EST/GMT-5
    The Man Without a World is set in a Polish shetl at the turn of the 20th century, where two star-crossed lovers seek happiness as the villagers struggle with antisemitism and political infighting. The film is credited to the legendary (and imaginary) 1920s Soviet director Yevgeny Antinov. But in fact it is the creation of contemporary filmmaker Eleanor Antin, who made the film in 1991.

    The film will be accompanied by live original music composed and performed by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin.

    Following the screening Svigals and Sosin will discuss their work with Professors Joshua Glick, Cecile Kuznitz, Masha Shpolberg, and Richard Suchenski.
