SUMMARY:CANCELED: Dancing with the Angel of Death: Demonic Femininity in the Ancient Synagogue
DESCRIPTION:“Lady Lilth” by Dante Gabriel Rossetti\, 1873. \n**The University of Washington Seattle campus has suspended operations Tuesday\, due to continued icy conditions around the region. We are therefore unable to host “Dancing with the Angel of Death” with Laura Lieber. Keep an eye on our e-journal for articles on this topic. \nWhat makes a woman powerful… and dangerous? Can what makes her “good” also be a potential “evil”? \nIn this talk\, Laura Lieber (Duke University) will consider a striking presentation of demonic femininity in the early synagogue era (ca. 6th century CE)\, centering around a dramatic poem depicting a nefarious woman accused of adultery (a “Sotah“) and the magic ritual for determining her guilt or innocence (Numbers 5:12-31). \nHow does this synagogue performance expand on traditions as preserved in rabbinic sources\, and resonate with magical texts and traditions of the time? How does the portrayal of the accused woman relate to universal human fears\, and the recurring fear around women’s power to arouse male desire in particular? \nRead the poems Dr. Lieber will be discussing here. \nAbout the speaker\nLaura S. Lieber is Professor of Religious Studies and Classics at Duke University\, where she directs the Center for Jewish Studies and the Center for Late Ancient Studies. \n  \n  \n  \nThis talk is supported by a Royalty Research Fund grant given to Stroum Center faculty member Mika Ahuvia for the 2018-19 academic year.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: How Frontier Jews Made American Judaism

Keep an eye on our e-journal for articles on this topic. \nThe first mass migration in American Jewish history took place in the nineteenth century\, during the era of westward expansion and “manifest destiny.” \nShari Rabin\,  author of the new book “Jews on the Frontier: Religion and Mobility in the Nineteenth Century” (NYU Press) and assistant professor of Jewish studies at the College of Charleston\, will discuss how far-flung Jewish migrants in this era shaped the religious idioms\, institutions\, and ideologies of American Judaism\, paving the way for the unique realities of American Jewish life today. \nGet ready: \n\nPodcast interview with Shari Rabin on “Jews on the Frontier” by Jewish History Matters\n\nAbout the speaker\nShari Rabin received a Ph.D. in religious studies from Yale University in 2015 and is currently assistant professor of Jewish Studies and director of the Pearlstine/Lipov Center for Southern Jewish Culture at the College of Charleston.

SUMMARY:Can Patients Refuse Lifesaving Treatment? A Comparative Review of Secular\, Jewish & Israeli Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Scenarios where patients refuse lifesaving care raise difficult ethical and legal questions. Physicians are faced with the decision of whether to forgo beneficial therapy\, or alternatively force treatment on an unwilling patient. In these undesirable situations\, the ethical principle of respecting the patient’s autonomy is in direct conflict with the ethical principle of beneficence. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Hadar Khazzam-Horovitz will examine whether it is morally and legally permissible for healthcare professionals to treat patients without consent in order to save their lives. To answer this question\, Khazzam-Horovitz will review two different approaches: secular ones as well as Jewish-rabbinic discourses. She will also discuss the Israeli legal system’s attempt to find a compromise that incorporates both the secular and the Jewish perspectives. \nAbout the speaker\n \nDr. Hadar Khazzam-Horovitz is a lecturer of bioethics and Modern Hebrew at Stroum Center for Jewish Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School ofInternational Studies. She earned her Ph.D. in Law from the University of Washington School of Law. She was a member of the Human Subjects Division committee (IRB) at University of Washington. Previously\, she was an Israeli attorney specializing in insurance litigation.
