SUMMARY:Campus Talk: Prof. Robin Judd on "What’s Love Got To Do With It?  Jewish War Brides\, Soldier Husbands\, and Postwar European History”
DESCRIPTION:“What’s Love Got To Do With It? Jewish War Brides\, Soldier Husbands\, and Postwar European Jewish History” explores the complicated relationships among some librated Jewish women and American\, British\, and Canadian victors.  To do so\, it will study an understudied population\, namely the Jewish female survivors in postwar Europe who married American\, Canadian\, and British military personnel.  It will examine the women and it will engage with their interactions with one another\, with the Jewish and non-Jewish men they married\, and with the different associations that strove to assist them.  By studying Jewish war brides\, this paper will provide unique insight into the transnational and gendered character of an understudied group of survivors of the Nazi persecution. \nLight refreshments will be served. \nBio:  Robin Judd (Phd\, University of Michigan) has served on the faculty of the History Department of the Ohio State University since 2000. Currently the director of the Graduate Studies Program of the History Department\, she also serves as an associate member of the Melton Center for Jewish Studies\, the Women’s/Gender Studies Department\, and the Center for the Study of Religion. Professor Judd is the author of Contested Rituals: Circumcision\, Kosher Butchering\, and German-Jewish Political Life in Germany\, 1843-1933 (Cornell University Press) and a number of articles concerning Jewish history\, gender history\, and ritual behavior. She has received several research fellowships and grants including a Fulbright\, NEH summer stipend\, DAAD\, Lady Davis Award\, Coca Cola grant for Critical Difference\, and the American Historical Association’s Schmidt award. She is the recipient of two teaching awards: the History Department’s Clio award and the College of Arts and Science’s Rodica Botoman Award \n

SUMMARY:Circumcision as a Human Rights Issue: A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Circumcision as a Human Rights Issue \nA Panel Discussion \nParticipants\nPanelists: \n\nRobin Judd\nThomas Schmidt\nBettina Shell-Duncan\n\nModerator: \n\nMichael Rosenthal\n\nBackground \nIs Circumcision a violation of the human right to bodily integrity?  Or is it protected under the human right that guarantees freedom liberty of religion?  Is it primarily a medical or is it a cultural practice?  Recent events have brought these issues into the news.  In Germany last year an appellate court criminalized the non-medical circumcision of children.  In Africa the World Health Organization now advocates a policy of medical male circumcision in order to prevent the spread of HIV\, at the same time as it works to stop female genital cutting.  In 2011 a proposal to ban male circumcision was placed on the ballot in San Francisco.  What is new about these current debates and what can we learn from the past?  The panel of experts will approach current controversies from three different disciplines—anthropology\, history\, and philosophy—to start an informed conversation.  Please join us. \n  \nParticipant Bios\nRobin Judd is an associate Professor of History at Ohio State University.  She is the author of Contested Rituals: Circumcision\, Kosher Butchering\, and German-Jewish Political Life in Germany\, 1843-1933\, published by Cornell University Press. \nThomas Schmidt is Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University in Frankfurt\, Germany. He is the editor of the forthcoming Religion and Secularization:  An Interdisciplinary Guide [in German]\, published by J. B. Metzler Verlag. \nBettina Shell Duncan is Professor of Anthropology and Adjunct Professor of Global Health at the University of Washington.  She is the co-editor of Transcultural Bodies: Female Genital Cutting in Global Context\, published by Rutgers University Press. \nMichael Rosenthal is Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Washington. \n  \nMain Sponsors\nStroum Jewish Studies Program \nWalter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities \n  \nCo-Sponsors\nDepartment of Philosophy

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Arie Dubnov of Stanford University\, "What is Jewish (if anything) about Sir Isaiah Berlin's political philosophy?"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 21\, 2013  \n1:30-2:30 in Thomson 317\, light lunch provided \nArie Dubnov of Stanford University will analyze Isaiah Berlin’s political thinking and consider the extent to which it can be considered “Jewish.” \nThis lecture has two central aims: First\, to reappraise Isaiah Berlin’s political thought in a historically contextualized way\, in particular to pay attention to central conceptual tensions between\, on the one hand\, his famous definition of liberalism as resting on a negative concept of liberty and\, on the other\, his defense of cultural nationalism in general and Zionism in particular. Second\, to see what we gain and what we lose by dubbing his philosophy “Jewish.” Arie Dubnov will discuss Berlin’s Jewishness and Zionism and explain how he came to develop a position that can be characterized as “Diaspora Zionism” which later animated his Cold War liberal philosophy. \n Arie Dubnov is an Acting Assistant Professor at Stanford University’s Department of history and (starting Fall 2013) a Senior Lecturer at the School of History at the University of Haifa\, Israel. Dubnov holds a Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, and is a past George L. Mosse Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His fields of expertise are modern Jewish and European intellectual history\, with a subsidiary interest in nationalism studies. He is the author\, most recently\, of Isaiah Berlin: The Journey of a Jewish Liberal (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2012)\, and he also edited the collection [in Hebrew] Zionism – A View from the Outside (The Bialik Institute\, 2010)\, seeking to put Zionist history in a larger comparative trajectory. In addition\, Dubnov has published essays in journals such as Nations & Nationalism\, Modern Intellectual History\, History of European Ideas\, The Journal of Israeli History. \n

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Leah Garrett of Monash University in Australia\, “Jewish American War Novels”
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 14\, 2012  \n12:30 – 1:30pm in Thomson 317\, Light lunch provided \nLeah Garrett of Monash University in Australia\, expert in Yiddish and Jewish-American literature\, will speak on “Jewish American War Novels” \nIn 1948 five books about the war dominated the New York Times bestseller list and were all written by Jews and made Jewish soldiers central protagonists: Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead\, Irwin Shaw’s The Young Lions\, Ira Wolfert’s An Act of Love\, Merle Miller’s That Winter\, and Stefan Heym’s The Crusaders.  A sixth book about a Jewish soldier also sold well that year (although it did not make the bestseller list)\, Martha Gellhorn’s The Wine of Astonishment.  The critical and popular dominance of Jewish war novels in America extended into the early 1960s.  For instance\, Herman Wouk’s The Caine Mutiny (1952) was the largest postwar bestseller\, while Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 (1961) initiated the literary trend of satirizing and subverting America’s war aims. \nJewish writers argued in their novels that the Holocaust was a central\, rather than ancillary\, aspect of the war experience.  Other themes that Jewish war novelists took up included a focus on the endemic antisemitism and racism in the military\, the infusion of intellectualism into the figure of the ideal soldier hero\, and the reversal of the standard American understanding of the Japanese enemy as a devil and the German as an European brother.  In Jewish novels\, the Japanese are fellow minorities\, and the Germans are the true demons. \nYet the central role of Jews in fictionalizing War World II for a postwar readership has gone unnoticed in literary and historical studies.  Either the Jewishness of the writers is uncommented on\, or\, the Jewishness of the text is negated.  This factor is central\, because as I will discuss\, Jewish authors wrote about the war in very unique ways\, and since their novels were bestsellers\, they had a direct impact upon how postwar Americans understood the war effort.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Amelia Glaser\, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Fair: Jewish-Slavic Relations through Literary History"
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Stroum Jewish Studies Program and Slavic Languages and Literatures \nLight lunch will be provided. \nThroughout the nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries\, Jews\, Ukrainians\, Poles\, and Russians lived together in the territory known as the Pale of Settlement\, a region of Eastern Europe that now covers much of Ukraine\, Belarus\, and the Baltic States. Although these communities spoke different languages\, followed distinct cultural habits\, and practiced different religions\, members of these communities did meet at markets and fairs. The stories that Jewish\, Russian\, and Ukrainian writers tell about these marketplace encounters help us to understand a complex history of coexistence and antagonism in the nineteenth century and after. Amelia Glaser will be discussing Jewish-Slavic relations\, as told through stories of these marketplace encounters by Nikolai Gogol\, Hrihorii Kvitka\, Sholem Aleichem\, Isaac Babel\, and others. She will base her talk on her recent book\, Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands: From the Shtetl Fair to the Petersburg Bookshop. \nAmelia Glaser is an associate professor of Russian and comparative literature at the University of California\, San Diego\, and is currently the director of Russian and Soviet Studies at UCSD. In addition to Jews and Ukrainians (Northwestern U. Press\, 2012)\, she is the translator of a collection of American Yiddish poets\, Proletpen: America’s Rebel-Yiddish Poets (U. of Wisconsin Press\, 2005)\, which recently appeared in paperback. She is currently editing a collected volume of essays on literary representations of the Cossack uprisings of 1648\, as well as a book about American Yiddish poets from Eastern Europe. Professor Glaser grew up in Northern California\, received a BA from Oberlin College\, an MA in Yiddish from the University of Oxford\, and a Ph.D in Comparative Literature from Stanford University. \n

SUMMARY:Stroum Lectures by Prof. David Ruderman
DESCRIPTION:Stroum Lectures Fall 2012 \nProfessor David B. Ruderman of University of Pennsylvania \nOctober 22nd and 24th\, 2012 \n7:30pm at Kane Hall\, UW Campus \nRegister to attend here: https://stroumlectures12-13.eventbrite.com \n\nBehind a Best Seller:  Kabbalah\, Science\, and Universal Ethics in Phineas Hurwitz’s Sefer Ha-Brit – Introduction to the Book and its Author \n  \nThe Book of the Covenant [Sefer ha-Brit] was one of the most popular Hebrew books read by modern Jews\, reflected in its thirty-eight editions spanning two centuries\, including three Yiddish and five Ladino translations. Part scientific encyclopedia\, part manual of mystical ascent\, and part prescription of a universalizing ethics\, the work was widely influential in an era of radical change and internal debate for Jews as well as for others. The amazing popularity of the author\, the eastern European Jew Phineas Hurwitz (1765-1821)\, stemmed from his kabbalistic pedigree. He offered his readers an exciting compendium of scientific knowledge they could read in their holy language under the pretext that is acquisition fulfilled their highest spiritual goals. The reception of The Book of the Covenant among modern Jewish readers allows us to understand more profoundly the ways in which a traditional society absorbed and creatively adopted aspects of modern science and cosmopolitanism. The book and its author open a wonderful window in studying the complex interplay of tradition\, science\, and inter-group relations in the modern era. \n  \nMore on Prof. Ruderman: \nDavid B. Ruderman is the Joseph Meyerhoff Professor of Modern Jewish History and Ella Darivoff Director of the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to coming to Pennsylvania\, he taught at the University of Maryland [1974-83] and at Yale University [1983-94]. He is the author of many books and articles including The World of a Renaissance Jew\, 1981; Kabbalah\, Magic\, and Science\, 1988; A Valley of Vision\, 1990; Jewish Thought and Scientific Discovery in Early Modern Europe\, 1995\, 2001\, published also in Italian and Hebrew; Jewish Enlightenment in an English Key: Anglo-Jewry’s Construction of Modern Jewish Thought\, 2000; Connecting the Covenants: Judaism and the Search for Christian Identity in Eighteenth Century England\, 2007\, and Early Modern Jewry: A New Cultural History\, 2010. Three of these books\, including the last\, won national book awards in Jewish history. He has also edited or co-edited five other books and co-edited two popular textbooks. He is a past president of the American Academy for Jewish Research. The Teaching Company has produced two of his Jewish history courses\, each in 24 lectures. In 2001\, the National Foundation for Jewish Culture honored him with its lifetime achievement award for his work in Jewish history. \nRegister to attend here: https://stroumlectures12-13.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: “The Myth of the Khazar Conversion” by Shaul Stampfer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 15\, 2012 \n“The Myth of the Khazar Conversion” by Shaul Stampfer \n12:30-1:30pm in Thomson 317 \nShaul Stampfer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem will speak on “The Myth of the Khazar Conversion” as part of the Stroum Jewish Studies Program’s Lunchtime Learning Series.  Light lunch will be provided. \nMuch has been written and said about the conversion of the Khazars (a Turkic\npeople) to Judaism and the consequences of this conversion. However\, it has been\ndecades since there was a systematic examination of the event’s historical evidence.\nThis talk presents the occasionally surprising results of a critical investigation\ninto the Khazari conversion mystery. The discussion will address\ntwo classic dilemmas of the modern historian: how to balance between\nbelief and proof\, and the problem of trying to prove that something did not happen. \nCo-sponsored by the Ellison Center for Russian\, East European and Central Asian Studies
