SUMMARY:STUDENT EVENT: Feasting with Faculty - Prof. Richard Block
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Richard Block\, Associate Professor of Germanics and Jewish Studies faculty member\, for conversation over a free vegetarian dinner at Shalimar on the Ave. Next autumn\, Professor Block will be teaching a course on Popular Film and the Holocaust. \nAt Feasting with Faculty events\, students have an opportunity to meet with members of Jewish Studies faculty to get to know them informally. Often the featured faculty member is teaching a course during the upcoming quarter\, so it also allows students to experience a faculty member’s style and learn more about the course. Feasting is also a great opportunity for faculty members to get to know students\, and for students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to get to know one another! \nEach Feasting with Faculty event is fun and different\, depending on the personality of the faculty member and the students who are involved. You are invited to any and all! \nOpen to undergraduate and graduate students only. \nNo cost but reservations required. This event is limited to 15 students.

SUMMARY:Stroum Lecture Night 1: Dara Horn on "Living in Hebrew"
DESCRIPTION:Dara Horn\, a scholar of Hebrew and Yiddish literatures\, is the author of several well-received novels. Photo credit: MichaelPriest \n[title size=”1″ content_align=”left” style_type=”single solid” sep_color=”” class=”” id=””]Living in Hebrew[/title] \nThe American Jewish community is always worried about authenticity\, and much of this anxiety comes from the lack of a Jewish language. But an American Jewish language does exist\, even if beneath the surface. In this talk\, novelist and literary scholar Dara Horn explores the role Hebrew can play in a living contemporary American Jewish culture\, as she has experienced it as a reader and as an American writer. \nDr. Dara Horn received her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Harvard University\, focusing on Hebrew and Yiddish. She held the Gerald Weinstock Visiting Professorship in Jewish Studies at Harvard and has lectured at over two hundred universities and cultural institutions throughout North America\, Israel\, and Australia. \nChosen by Granta magazine as one of the best young novelists in America\, Dara Horn has won several literary prizes\, including the National Jewish Book Award (for In the Image in 2003 and The World to Come in 2006) and New York Times Editors’ Choice (for The World to Come and All Other Nights). Her most recent novel\, A Guide for the Perplexed\, was published by W.W. Norton in September 2013\, and was selected as one of Booklist‘s Best Books of 2013 and was longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Horn is also the author of a best-selling non-fiction Amazon Kindle Single\, “The Rescuer\,” which follows the peculiar life and legacy of an American Oskar Schindler named Varian Fry. \nThis talk is free and open to the public. A kosher reception will follow in the Walker Ames Room. \nClick here to find out about Stroum Lectures Night 2–Prof. Ilan Stavans on “Dying in Hebrew.”\nLearn more about events at the Hebrew and the Humanities Symposium on the Symposium webpage.\n[separator top=”10″ style=”none”] \n[title size=”1″ content_align=”left” style_type=”single solid” sep_color=”” class=”” id=””]Links for Further Exploration[/title] \n\nHebrew and the Humanities: Present Tense Symposium\nDara Horn’s website\nDara Horn’s ELI Talk: “The Eicha Problem: What Jews Really Believe about Anti-Semitism” (2013)\nStroum Lectures Archive

SUMMARY:Stroum Lecture Night 2: Ilan Stavans on "Dying in Hebrew"
DESCRIPTION:Hebrew is lashon ha’kodesh and lashon b’nei adam\, a divine language\, the way for man to communicate with G-d\, and\, as such\, an eternal language defying the passing of time; and a human language\, earthly\, clumsy\, vulgar\, imperfect\, and prone to decay. These opposing sides make Hebrew unique\, that is\, the Jewish language par excellence and the route through which Jews negotiate the passage from life to death.\nAn essayist\, cultural critic\, and translator\, Professor Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture and Five College-Fortieth Anniversary Professor at Amherst College. A native of Mexico\, he received his Doctorate in Latin American Literature from Columbia University.\nProf. Stavans’ books include The Hispanic Condition (1995)\, On Borrowed Words (2001)\, Spanglish (2003)\, Love and Language (2007)\, and Gabriel García Márquez: The Early Years (2010). His book Resurrecting Hebrew\, published in Schocken’s Jewish Encounters series in 2008\, is a personal memoir alongside a history of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda and the remarkable revival of Hebrew in the early 20th century. Recently\, Stavans translated Pablo Neruda’s All the Odes (Farrar\, Straus\, and Giroux\, 2013)\, and authored Return to Centro Histórico: A Mexican Jew Looks for His Roots (Rutgers\, 2012)\, the graphic novel El Iluminado (Basic\, 2012\, with Steve Sheinkin)\, and the children’s book Golemito (New South).\nClick here to find out out Stroum Lectures Night 1–Dr. Dara Horn on “Living in Hebrew.”\nLearn more about events at the Hebrew and the Humanities Symposium on the Symposium webpage.\nLinks for Further Exploration\n\nHebrew and the Humanities: Present Tense Symposium\nIlan Stavans’ webpage with media links\nThe Beauty of the Hebrew Language – video interview with Hadar Khazzam-Horovitz\, 2014\nStroum Lectures Archive
