SUMMARY:Book Talk by Joel Migdal on "Shifting Sands: The United States in the Middle East"
DESCRIPTION:Join the UW Stroum Center for Jewish Studies for the book launch of Prof. Joel S. Migdal’s new publication\, Shifting Sands: The United States in the Middle East (Columbia University Press). \nShifting Sands explores the ups and downs of the United States since World War II in what has become the most important and volatile region in the world\, the Middle East.  In explaining America’s roller-coaster ride\, the book employs a novel approach\, showing how U.S. officials from the aftermath of World War II through the end of the twentieth century built a rigid strategic model atop the shifting sands of the region; they employed a constant formula to guide their policies\, even as the Mideast region underwent several cataclysmic changes. Now\, with the Arab Spring signifying another Mideast transformation\, Migdal offers a new\, workable strategy for the United States in this crucial region. \nJoel S. Migdal is the Robert F. Philip Professor of International Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies and a faculty member for Jewish Studies at the University of Washington. He has been writing about the Middle East and state-society relations worldwide for more than forty years. Among his books are The Palestinian People (with Baruch Kimmerling)\, Through the Lens of Israel\, Strong Societies and Weak States\, and State-in-Society. \nFollowing the event\, there will be a reception honoring Prof. Migdal for this milestone publication. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies and the Center for Global Studies at the University of Washington. \n\n \nOnline Ticketing for Joel Migdal Book Launch powered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:"Israel's Extraordinary Woodlands\," Lecture by Prof. Alon Tal
DESCRIPTION:“All the Trees of the Forest: Israel’s Extraordinary Woodlands\, from the Bible to the Present” \nProf. Alon Tal of Ben Gurion University is one of Israel’s leading environmental scholars and activists. \nIn an era when deforestation constitutes a paramount global challenge\, Israel’s woodlands tell an extraordinary story. They carry the scars of past military invaders and conquests. But most of the trees in Israel’s forests are contemporary and represent an expression of recent national zeal to restore the woodlands of the Bible\, making a harsh climate more hospitable. Drawing on insider anecdotes\, Prof. Tal’s presentation describes how the trial and error process evolved that transformed drylands and degraded soils into flourishing parks\, rangelands\, and renewed ecosystems. The talk is part of a book tour presenting the first history of Israel’s forest to be published in over forty years. \nProfessor Alon Tal teaches at Ben Gurion University and is currently a visiting scholar at Stanford University. Prof. Tal founded the Israel Union for Environmental Defense\, Israel’s leading green advocacy organization\, and the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies\, a regional center for Arabs and Israelis. Between 2010 and 2013 he served as chair of Israel’s Green Party. Haaretz newspaper selected him as the country’s most effective environmental leader and Israel’s Ministry of Environment gave him a lifetime achievement award at age 48. In 2005 he was the winner of the prestigious Bronfman prize\, a humanitarian award for young Jewish leaders. \nProf. Tal’s talk at UW is co-sponsored by Stroum Center for Jewish Studies\, Temple Beth Am\, UW Division of Spanish & Portuguese Studies\, and Latin and Caribbean Studies at the Jackson School of International Studies. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:"The Jews of Latin America\," Lunchtime Learning with Prof. Ilan Stavans
DESCRIPTION:A journey spanning over five centuries\, from the arrival of conversos to the New World and their clash with the Inquisition\, to the role Jews played during the 19th century as fosterers of modernity\, up until the present time where in countries like Argentina\, Brazil\, Cuba\, and Mexico their place in the economy\, politics\, and culture is essential if also contested by the status quo. Anti-Semitism\, the Holocaust\, the State of Israel\, assimilation\, and questions of identity will be lenses through which to appreciate this varied journey. \nIlan Stavans\, one of today’s preeminent essayists\, cultural critics\, and translators\, is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture and Five College-Fortieth Anniversary Professor at Amherst College.

SUMMARY:"Mirele Efros" Staged Yiddish Play Reading
DESCRIPTION:“Mirele Efros” \nSeattle premiere of the Yiddish theater classic \nWritten by Jacob Gordin \nNew English translation by Nahma Sandrow \nDirected by Art Feinglass\, artistic director\, Seattle Jewish Theater Company \n  \nStaged reading presented by the UW Stroum Center for Jewish Studies \nand \nthe Seattle Jewish Theater Company \nTuesday\, December 3rd 2013\, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. \nThe Ethnic Cultural Theatre \n3940 Brooklyn Ave. NE (on the corner of Brooklyn Ave. and NE 39th St.) \nMirele Efros\, called “the Jewish Queen Lear\,” is a tale of power and pride.  The masterpiece of Ukrainian-born Jacob Gordin\, a hugely influential Yiddish playwright\, it was the most widely performed play in the Yiddish theatrical canon. \n \nEvent management for Mirele Efros Staged Play Reading powered by Eventbrite\n\nThis classic of Yiddish theater recreates Jewish life in nineteenth century Grodno\, Poland. The title character Mirele is a wealthy and pious widow whose devotion to her children extends to hand-picking a wife for her eldest son.  She gravely mistakes the young woman’s character and a conflict soon erupts between the Jewish matriarch and her daughter-in-law who schemes to gain control of the Efros family wealth. More than a folkloric play\, it captures the drama of a power struggle between generations and between the old world and the new.  Gordin\, one of whose political causes was women’s rights\, takes as his central figure a woman who struggles\, falls\, and rises wiser than before. \nThe title role was performed by every leading Yiddish actress during the heyday of Yiddish theater in New York City. The play was created by the author as a vehicle for one actress; when another star with her own following first attempted the title role\, the Yiddish public was riveted by this battle of titans\, and newspapers published reviews and even cartoons commenting on the dueling prima donnas.  Yiddish actresses continue to measure themselves in the role\, as recently as 1967 (Warsaw and New York)\, 1996 (Montreal)\, 2003 (Tel Aviv) and 2009 (Bucharest). \nIn addition to Yiddish\, Mirele Efros has been performed in Russian\, Ukrainian\, Hungarian\, German\, Spanish\, Italian\, and Hebrew. This new English translation by Yiddish scholar Nahma Sandrow will be performed for the first time in Seattle.

SUMMARY:JewDub Talks
DESCRIPTION:At the inaugural JewDub Talks on November 8th\, 2012\, the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Washington proved that\, indeed\, a pocket-sized lecture can be a window onto a new world. This special evening program was inspired by the phenomenon of TED Talks\, a global movement centered around “ideas worth spreading” through short talks given by experts and practitioners in a wide range of fields. In our Seattle spin on this popular format\, we showcased four UW faculty members giving short lectures on big ideas in Jewish history and culture. \nThe TED-inspired format provided  students and community members up-close access to several of our dynamic teachers. JewDub Talks allowed our faculty to explore topics that are personally and intellectually compelling for them\, but maybe never made it onto a course syllabus. The result? According to this review in the JTNews\, the event was thought-provoking for all involved. \nPlease visit our JewDub Talks page to find out more about this year’s faculty lineup. Our speakers\, who come from four different academic departments\, will tackle hybrid Jewish identities\, Spinoza’s modern legacy\, embracing the shtetl\, and tracking anti-Semitism. \nCan’t make it? Watch from home! We’ll offer livestreaming right here on our website. \nThe event is free and will be followed by a kosher reception in honor of the 40th anniversary celebration of Jewish Studies at UW.

SUMMARY:Screening of Two Sided Story at Hillel UW
DESCRIPTION:Join Hillel UW and JConnect Seattle for a screening of the documentary “Two Sided Story” by Emmy Award-winning director Tor Ben Mayor. This event is co-sponsored by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Washington. \nThe film follows 27 Israelis and Palestinians as they participate in an extraordinary dialogue workshop organized by the Parents Circle-Families Forum (PCFF) – bereaved Palestinian and Israelis for Peace and Reconciliation. The project’s goal is to acknowledge the narrative of the other. Among them include Orthodox Jews and religious Muslims\, settlers\, ex-soldiers in the Israeli army\, ex-security prisoners\, citizens who live close to the Gaza border\, Kibbutz members\, second-generation Holocaust survivors\, nonviolent activists and more. Each holds a historical truth; each and every one carries his own emotional load. Ben Mayor documents all the meetings and escorts the participants back home when they return to their families and face the complicated reality. \nFollowing the screening of “Two Sided Story\,” there will be refreshments and a Q&A session led by Shiri Ourian\, the Executive Director of American Friends of the Parents Circle – Families Forum. Parents Circle is a grassroots organization made up of more than 600 bereaved Palestinians and Israelis\, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the conflict. The PCFF promotes reconciliation as an alternative to hatred and revenge. Its long term vision is to create a framework for a reconciliation process to be an integral part of any future peace agreements. \n

SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem: Fifty Years Later
DESCRIPTION:2013 Walker-Ames Lecture: Seyla Benhabib\, Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at Yale University\, will speak on “Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem: Fifty Years Later” \nEichmann in Jerusalem (1963) is one of the most controversial books of the second half of the twentieth-century. Hannah Arendt’s complex narrative – which originally was prepares as a trial report for the New Yorker – moves at multiple levels: historical\, philosophical\, psychological and legal. At the historical level\, the book was one of the first times after the end of WWII that an extremely detailed historical account of the Jewish extermination policies of the Nazis was laid bare; furthermore\, Arendt questioned the role of the Jewish Councils in this process. Philosophically\, Arendt struggled with the question of evil and the relationship of evil to the activities of thinking and judging. Psychologically – and this is the aspect of Arendt’s analysis which gained most notoriety – Arendt introduced the term ‘the banality of evil\,’ to characterize Adolf Eichmann’s personality. Legally\, the Eichmann trial raised deep questions about international jurisdiction\, crimes against humanity\, and punishing the perpetrators of genocide. \nThis lecture will give an overview of the Eichmann controversy. Although some of Arendt’s claims concerning Eichmann’s personality and activities\, as well as her analysis of the Jewish Councils are historically inaccurate\, Benhabib will argue that her book leaves us with some enduring questions about human responsibility in extreme conditions. \nSeyla Benhabib is the Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at Yale University. Professor Benhabib was the President of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association in 2006-07\, a Fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin in 2009\, at the NYU Straus Institute for the Advanced Study of Law and Justice in Spring 2012\, and at the German Marshall Fund’s Transatlantic Academy in Washington DC in Spring 2013. In 2009\, she received the Ernst Bloch prize for her contributions to cultural dialogue in a global civilization and in May 2012\, the Leopold Lucas Prize of the Evangelical Academy of Tubingen. She holds honorary degrees from the Humanistic University in Utrecht in 2004\, the University of Valencia in November 2010 and from Bogazici University in May 2012. She received a Guggenheim grant during 2010-2011 for her work on sovereignty and international law. \nCo-sponsored by The Graduate School\, UW Alumni Association\,  Human Interaction and Normative Innovation Research Cluster (HI-NORM)\, UW Tacoma\, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies\, Department of Political Science\, Department of Philosophy\, Program on Values in Society\, Department of Geography. \nAdvance registration is recommended for this event.  To reserve your tickets\, click here or paste this link into your browser: https://www.grad.washington.edu/lectures/seyla-benhabib.shtml  \nThe complete lineup for the 2013-14 public lecture series offered by the UW Graduate School can be viewed at this link: https://www.grad.washington.edu/lectures/ .

DESCRIPTION:On Oct. 22 the Stroum Jewish Studies Program is hosting a free film screening of  the 2012 bio-drama “Hannah Arendt\,” starring Barbara Sukowa and directed by Margarethe Von Trotta. A post-film discussion will be moderated by Prof. Michael Rosenthal\, Chair of the UW Department of Philosophy and a Jewish Studies faculty member. \nRead all about it: Prof. Rosenthal’s new interview\, “Why Do Hannah Arendt’s Ideas about Evil and the Holocaust Still Matter?”\, has key historical background on the Eichmann trial and the lasting impact of Arendt’s ideas. \nThis event is part of a series connected to the 2013 Walker-Ames Lecture by Yale philosopher Seyla Benhabib\, who will be speaking on “Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem: Fifty Years Later” on Oct. 24. \nThe Oct. 22 screening of “Hannah Arendt” is co-sponsored by the Seattle Jewish Film Festival\, the Stroum Jewish Community Center\, and the Department of Germanics at the University of Washington. \n\n \nEvent Registration Online for Film Screening of Hannah Arendt powered by Eventbrite\n\nAn overview of the film: “Hannah Arendt is a reporter for The New Yorker. After she attends the war crimes trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann\, she daringly chronicles the Holocaust in a way no one has ever done before and her work instantly becomes a scandal. She begins getting attacked by almost everyone—family and friends included. What follows is Arendt’s struggle to suppress her own painful memories of the past and how exile begins to define and derail her life.” \nYou can watch the trailer here. \nRelated events:\n“Eichmann in Jerusalem: Fifty Years Later\,” 2013 Walker-Ames Lecture by Seyla Benhabib on Oct. 24\n“The Dilemmas of Human Rights: Ideals and Illusions\,” Philosophy Dept.

His projects document the lives of little known groups in America and abroad. He looks at the lives of people ranging from occupants of single room occupancy hotels in New York City to transhumant shepherds in Transylvania\, residents of a Mexican village\, and Philadelphia Mummers. His photographic study of a nearly extinct Jewish community in Romania was published as The Last Jews of Radauti by Dial/Doubleday in 1983\, with text by Ayse Gürsan-Salzmann.

SUMMARY:Movie Showing of Hava Nagila
DESCRIPTION:The Seattle Jewish Film Festival\, Jewish Junction and Seattle Jewish Community School come together to host a showing of Hava Nagila! \nThis joyous\, hilarious all ages film is being screened in the North End at SJCS for an End Summer\, Back To School Community Celebration. All are welcome! Kosher noshes and popcorn served. Tickets are $5 (6 and under free). Best of Fest is SJFF’s year-round encore series\, showcasing films for families at partner venues throughout the city. \nThis is our only remaining event in Seattle’s North end. Next stop… Rainier Cultural Center October 26/27. \nFeaturing interviews with Harry Belafonte\, Connie Francis\, Glen Campbell\, Leonard Nimoy\, Regina Spektor and more\, Hava Nagila (The Movie) follows the song from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the kibbutzim of Palestine to the cul-de-sacs of America. It excavates the layers of cultural complexity with humor\, depth and heart – traveling the distance between the Holocaust to Dick Dale and his surf guitar\, sometimes in the same sentence. It stops at key places – Ukraine\, Israel\, the Catskills and Greenwich Village\, where Belafonte performed a hopeful version in the late 1950s\, only to be countered by Bob Dylan\, who butchers the song in his version Talkin’ Hava Negiliah Blues. The film covers Allan Sherman’s parody Harvey and Sheila\, and Lena Horne’s civil rights anthem Now – both set to the tune of Hava Nagila. The film spotlights Italian-American crooner Connie Francis\, who made the song the first track on her famous album of Jewish favorites; and Glen Campbell\, who released an instrumental version of Hava on the B-side of his theme song from True Grit. It also dissects the proliferation of pop culture references to Hava Nagila in film and TV and brings the song up to the present\, where it’s a rallying tune at sports games\, a hot dance number in nightclubs and a global hit online. \nBuy tickets here!

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Natan Meir on "People of the Poorhouse: The Jewish Dispossessed in Eastern Europe"
DESCRIPTION:How do we hear the voices of the voiceless? How do we reconstruct the history of those who were unable to write their own stories? This lecture explores the lives and experiences of Jews at the margins of society–including paupers\, orphans\, poor widows\, disabled people\, and the mentally ill –in nineteenth and early twentieth-century Eastern Europe. Drawing on a wide range of documents\, Meir examines the Jewish community’s attitudes towards these individuals\, who were often both excluded from the mainstream and dependent on the community for survival. This “history from the margins” attempts to move us towards a richer and fuller portrait of East European Jewish society than ever before. \nNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Associate Professor of Judaic Studies at Portland State University.  His research interest is modern Jewish history\, focusing on the social and cultural history of East European Jewry in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is the author of Kiev: Jewish Metropolis\, 1861-1914 (Indiana University Press\, 2010) and co-editor of Anti-Jewish Violence: Rethinking the Pogrom in East European History (Indiana\, 2010). His articles have appeared in Jewish Quarterly Review and Slavic Review. Meir is currently working on a study of vulnerable and marginalized groups among East European Jews in the nineteenth century\, and he is a consultant for the Russian Jewish Museum of Moscow\, which will open in November 2012. Prior to coming to PSU\, Meir taught at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. Meir received his Ph.D. in Jewish history from Columbia University in 2003.

SUMMARY:Two Fatherlands? Zionist Youth and the Politics of Belonging in 1930s Poland
DESCRIPTION:Why would a Zionist youth movement between the two world wars consider marching in Polish patriotic parades and training with Polish military groups to be Zionist acts? This talk will investigate the fascinating dynamics that led Betar\, one of interwar Poland’s most popular Jewish youth movements\, to model their ceremonies on Polish patriotic rituals\, call for their members to “act Polish” and include Polish government officials as both observers and participants in their celebrations. Drawing from autobiographies of Jewish youth written in Polish\, Yiddish and Hebrew\, as well as police reports from across Poland\, Dr. Heller will explore these performances of a Polish-Zionist alliance from the perspective of Betar’s members\, leaders and Polish government officials. By doing so\, the talk will provide a vivid portrait of Polish-Jewish relations and the world of Polish Jewish youth on the eve of the Second World War. \nClick here to read an interview with the featured speaker\, Dr. Daniel K. Heller. \n \n
