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: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
