SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Visual Kabbalah with Yossi Chajes
DESCRIPTION:Visual Kabbalah and the Diagramming of the Divine Most students of kabbalistic literature find themselves “visualizing” its cosmogonic and cosmological teachings. The iconic “Tree of Life” is certainly the best known kabbalistic symbol\, and is often the first thing conveyed to those being exposed for the first time to this lore. What few realize is that complex graphical scrolls have been a genre of kabbalistic literature in their own right since the Renaissance\, and that from the seventeenth century such scrolls became an indispensable tool to Lurianic kabbalists. In this presentation\, Prof. Chajes will introduce this little-known genre and explain the origins and functions of these amazing kabbalistic artifacts.\nLight kosher lunch provided.\n \n \nJ. H. (Yossi) Chajes (Ph.D.\, Yale University 1999) is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Department of Jewish History of the University of Haifa.\n \n

SUMMARY:The Disability Rights Movement in Israel: Sources\, Achievements and Challenges

SUMMARY:Beyond Hebrew: Zionism and the Politics of Language Diversity in Palestine and Israel
DESCRIPTION:The promotion of Hebrew\, traditionally a language of Jewish liturgy and study\, as a spoken vernacular\, was a central accomplishment of the Zionist movement in Palestine before Israeli statehood. Viewing twentieth-century history through the lens of language\, author Liora Halperin questions the common narrative of a Zionist move away from multilingualism during the years following World War I\, demonstrating how Jews in Palestine remained connected linguistically by both preference and necessity to a world outside the boundaries of the pro-Hebrew community even as it promoted Hebrew and achieved that language’s dominance.\nThe story of language encounters in Jewish Palestine is a fascinating tale of shifting power relationships\, both locally and globally. Halperin’s absorbing study explores how a young national community was compelled to modify the dictates of Hebrew exclusivity as it negotiated its relationships with its Jewish population\, Palestinian Arabs\, the British\, and others outside the margins of the national project and ultimately came to terms with the limitations of its influence and power in an interconnected world.\nLight Kosher reception to follow lecture.\n \nThe Stroum Center for Jewish Studies is proud to offer this lecture as part of our Winter 2016 series\, Beyond the Binary: Israel Studies Today which welcomes several emerging scholars to share new directions in the field of Israel Studies. Stay tuned for more information!\n \n \nLiora R. Halperin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History and the Program in Jewish Studies and the holder of the Endowed Professorship in Israel/Palestine Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder\, where she has taught since 2013. Her research focuses on Jewish cultural history\, Jewish-Arab relations in Ottoman and Mandate Palestine\, language ideology and policy\, and the politics surrounding nation formation in Palestine in the years leading up to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. She is also a member of the advisory board for CU’s Archive of Post-Holocaust American Judaism\, and affiliated faculty in Middle Eastern Studies at the CU Center for Asian Studies.\n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Marty Jaffee’s E-book of Sifre Devarim
DESCRIPTION:The Stroum Center is delighted to launch its very first e-book publication: Prof. Marty Jaffee’s new translation of the fascinating Sifre Devarim\, a 4th-century compilation of rabbinic oral commentaries on Deuteronomy. Jaffee’s masterpiece uniquely captures the spoken dimension of the original text\, bringing a fresh\, often poetic perspective to a seminal piece of the biblical canon. \nParts of the Sifre Devarim were found in the Cairo Geniza\, a hidden cache of sacred texts and fragments discovered in a storage room in Cairo\, Egypt. The scholar Solomon Schechter\, pictured above in 1895\, helped to bring these valuable texts to light and is pictured on the cover of Prof. Jaffee’s e-book.\nRead a news piece about this exciting digital project: Marty Jaffee Brings Rabbinic Voices from the Cairo Geniza to the E-book.\nOur event celebrating Prof. Jaffee’s new work will feature a panel and discussion with two of Seattle’s premier Jewish educators: Beth Huppin of Jewish Family Service\, and Rabbi Adam Rubin of Congregation Beth Shalom. They will address how to utilize the book as a resource from the dual perspectives of teacher and student.\nA light kosher luncheon will be served at this event.\n \nMarty Jaffee\, Professor Emeritus at the UW\, is a renowned scholar of the Oral Torah and rabbinic Judaism. He received his PhD in Religious Studies from Brown University and began teaching at the University of Washington in 1987. Over the course of four decades of teaching and publishing\, he put the UW Jewish Studies and Comparative Religion programs on the national map. Jaffee was elected to the American Society for the Study of Religion in 2004\, and was named a Fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research in 2010.

SUMMARY:STUDENTS ONLY: Sephardic Hanukkah Party
DESCRIPTION:With winter approaching\, it’s time for Hanukkah\, a holiday of celebration and lights! \nUW students and young professionals from all backgrounds and majors are invited to a Hanukkah party sponsored by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies and Hillel UW. \nThis special Hanukkah party will incorporate traditions of Jewish Sephardic culture in honor of International Ladino Day. Sephardic Jews are Jews from Spain\, Portugal\, North Africa and the Middle East and their descendants. The adjective “Sephardic” and corresponding nouns “Sephardi” (singular) and “Sephardim” (plural) are derived from the Hebrew word “Sepharad\,” which refers to Spain.  Sephardic Jews have their own special traditions\, language (Ladino)\, foods and songs\, and we will explore some of them at our Hanukkah party. \nWe will light a hanukkiyah\, also known as a Hanukkah “menorah\,” a candelabra designated specifically for the eight Hanukkah candles\, one of which is lit each night. \nWe will sing Hanukkah songs in Ladino (bonus if you wear a fedora to the party like this singer of the classic Ladino Hanukkah song\, Ocho Kandelikas\, “Eight Candles”). \nAnd we will try tasty Sephardic fare including bimuelos (fried dough puffs). What could be bad?? \nAll welcome! No previous experience with Hanukkah necessary! \nNo cost.

SUMMARY:Baladino in Concert at SJCC
DESCRIPTION:With its members hailing from Berlin and Tel Aviv\, Baladino is a Mediterranean folk band that offers fresh\, yet deeply authentic interpretations of Sephardic and Ladino melodies and brings this tradition back into full\, fresh dialogue with its trans-Mediterranean past\, using extended technique\, subtle electronics and improvisation to dust off the predominant heavy-handed approach to Ladino music. With stunning vocals\, unexpected instruments\, and a pitch-perfect sense of arrangement\, the Israeli group melds everything from Egyptian darbuka to Armenian duduk\, from Ladino classics to rarely heard tunes\, into a sonically vibrant\, organic whole. During Baladino’s live performances\, songs often form a jumping-off point for instrumental improvisations driven by Mediterranean-Gypsy grooves\, yet embracing rock and electronic influences. \n  \n \n  \nTo purchase tickets and find out more\, please visit the Stroum Jewish Community Center online! \nSTUDENTS: Get $5 off your tickets using this promo code: UW5OFF \n  \nOrganized by the Stroum Jewish Community Center

SUMMARY:Jewish Peoplehood: An American Innovation

In this exciting book launch event\, Prof. Noam Pianko will highlight the current significance and future relevance of “peoplehood” by tracing the rise\, transformation\, and return of this novel term. \nFind out more about Prof. Pianko’s book Jewish Peoplehood: An American Innovation! \nLight Kosher reception to follow book reading. Prof. Noam Pianko is the Samuel N. Stroum Chair of Jewish Studies and Associate Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies. Pianko also directs the Samuel and Althea Stroum Center for Jewish Studies and serves as the Herbert and Lucy Pruzan Professor of Jewish Studies. He received his Ph.D. in Religious Studies/Judaic Studies from Yale University in 2004 and joined the Jackson School faculty as an Assistant Professor in the fall of that year. Prof. Pianko’s research interests include modern Jewish history\, Zionism\, and American Judaism. \n

SUMMARY:A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:On August 2\, 1947 a young man gets off a train in a small Swedish town to begin his life anew. Having endured the ghetto of Lodz\, the death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau\, the slave camps and transports during the final months of Nazi Germany\, his final challenge is to survive the survival.\nJoin Göran Rosenberg as he discusses his intelligent and deeply moving book\, A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz\, in which he returns to his own childhood to tell the story of his father: walking at his side\, holding his hand\, trying to get close to him. It is also the story of the chasm between the world of the child\, permeated by the optimism\, progress\, and collective oblivion of postwar Sweden\, and the world of the father\, darkened by the long shadows of the past.\nWant to learn more about A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz? Check out Roger Cohen’s New York Times review of this award-winning book\, “Where the Road From Auschwitz Ends.”\n \n \nGöran Rosenberg  was born in Sweden in 1948 and is one of Sweden’s best known authors. In 1970 he left academia to work as a journalist for Swedish television\, radio\, and print. He is the author of several books\, including the highly acclaimed The Lost Land: A Personal History of Zionism and Messianism and The State of Israel.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn with Shalom Sabar
DESCRIPTION:The biblical story of the Binding or Sacrifice of Isaac plays a major role in the religious ideologies of the three monotheistic religions. Over the ages\, artists in the service of Jewish\, Christian and Muslim communities were called to depict the story time and again. Join Prof. Shalom Sabar as he examines how these visual works convey the messages and sentiments of traditional societies that produced them\, as well as the curious\, military-related twist the visual interpretation of the story took in modern times\, especially in the State of Israel. \nA light Kosher lunch will be provided. RSVP required.
