SUMMARY:Taubman Symposium Talk: Between Catastrophe and Creativity: Shmuel Yosef Agnon’s Nobel Prize and the Jewish Response to Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIn December 1966\, Austro-Hungarian born Israeli author Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1887–1970) received the Nobel Prize in literature—the only author writing in Hebrew to receive that distinguished honor. Rabbi Jeffrey Saks will trace how Agnon’s remarkable acceptance speech vividly expresses the intertwining of personal destiny\, Jewish history\, and the art of storytelling. Standing before the crowned heads of Europe\, Agnon recounted his life\, not merely as a biographical sketch but as a narrative shaped by the catastrophe of Jerusalem’s destruction and centuries of exile. Agnon portrayed his literary calling as divine compensation for the lost sacred songs of the Temple. He cast himself as a Levite tasked to write in place of singing—to render music in prose that consoles pain and channels longing. His works\, suffused with layers of biblical\, rabbinic\, and folk textures\, grow from that center: the artist as healer of ancient wounds. Saks explores how that theme animates Agnon’s writing and surveys the intertwined biographical stations leading to the platform at the Nobel Prize ceremony. \nRabbi Jeffrey Saks is a prominent Modern Orthodox educator\, writer\, and editor based in Jerusalem. He holds a BA\, MA\, and rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University. Rabbi Saks is best known as the founding director of The Academy for Torah Initiatives and Directions in Jewish Education and its online learning platform\, WebYeshiva.org. Since January 2019\, he has served as the Editor-in-Chief of Tradition\, a leading journal of Orthodox Jewish thought\, and currently serves as the Director of Research at the Agnon House in Jerusalem. \nZoom attendance link here \nCosponsored by the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies and Department of Religious Studies

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposium Talk: The Central Issues of the Priestly Struggle in the Dead Sea Scrolls
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerProfessor Rachel Elior’s writings have stimulated lively discussions among scholars in her areas of research. These include\, among others\, early Jewish mysticism\, the Dead Sea Scrolls\, Messianism\, Hasidism\, and the role of women in Jewish culture. In her talk for the Taubman Symposia\, presented as an online webinar\, she will speak about the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls as a way of understanding the deep oppositional diversity of Jewish culture in Late Antiquity. Her talk addresses the dispute between\, on one hand\, the priestly writers (priests from the house of Zadok) who left the magnificent library of sacred writings discovered at Qumran\, and on the other\, the oral teachers known as the sages (Pharisees). The latter defined the Qumran library as “s’farim chitzonim\,” books to remain outside of the emerging canon. As Elior explains\, those matters involve everywhere the central themes of canon and censorship\, and the shifting authority among sacred texts and their interpreters – exemplified by the adoption of the lunar over the solar calendar\, a fundamental change in the source of authority. Join the webinar on February 22 to hear Professor Elior’s talk on this fascinating but little-known chapter in Jewish history. \nElior studied at the Hebrew University/Jerusalem (PhD summa cum laude\, 1976). She has taught at that institution since 1978 and serves there as the John and Golda Cohen Professor of Jewish Philosophy in the Department of Jewish Thought. Elior has published nine books on Jewish mysticism\, six of which have been translated into English\, Spanish\, and Polish. Additionally\, she has edited ten books\, edited and annotated three further books\, and authored 120 articles on mysticism. Her work has garnered numerous distinguished awards. \nZoom attendance link here \nCosponsored by the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies and Department of Religious Studies

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposium Talk: James A. Diamond
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerWithin the walls of the well-known Warsaw Ghetto uprising\, another kind of resistance was mounted\, not by combatants\, but rather by a group of poets\, artists\, and historians known as the Oyneg Shabbes collective. Far less known than the Ghetto\, that literary and artistic circle composed and ultimately buried thousands of documents attesting to the suffering under Nazi oppression. Among those documents\, recovered after the war\, was a manuscript of weekly sermons delivered during three years in the Ghetto (1939–42) by Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira (1889–1943)\, Grand Rabbi of Piaseczno (Poland). As a Hasidic leader\, Shapira desperately tried to preserve his and his community’s faith confronted by unimaginable hardship\, pain\, and loss. He persisted in the face of mass deportations and continued to meticulously edit his sermons even after he had ceased delivering them and there was no longer a community to comfort and inspire. It is a rare testament to one human being’s struggle with the incomprehensible evil of the Holocaust and with his own herculean resistance to it. \nDiamond has occupied the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Chair of Jewish Studies at Waterloo University for the past twenty-five years. He holds law degrees from Osgoode Hall Law School\, Toronto University (LLB\, 1978) and New York University School of Law (LLM\, 1979). In 1990s he received an MA (1992) and PhD (1999) in Religious Studies from the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposium Talk: Messianism in Post-Schneerson Chabad
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerProfessor Emeritus of Anthropology and Psychology at Hebrew University/Jerusalem\, Yoram Bilu is a psychological anthropologist who focuses on Israeli society and Jewish traditional culture. His research interests include the anthropology of religion\, culture and mental health\, the sanctification of space in Israel\, and Maghrebi Jewish culture. His perspective is consistently two-fold\, as he seeks to highlight the interface between\, on one hand\, social actors as individuals\, and on the other\, the collective level of social norms\, cultural symbols and political ideologies. Professor Bilu’s Taubman Symposium\, “Messianism in Post-Schneerson Chabad\,” emanates from his 2020 book\, With Us More than Ever: Making the Absent Rebbe Present in Messianic Chabad\, which won the 2015 Goldberg Prize for the best academic book-length manuscript in Hebrew. Taking into account the cultural toolkit used by the Hasidim to make their absent Rabbi (and designated messiah) present\, Bilu explores the messianic fervor that seized the Hasidic movement of Chabad-Lubavitch on the 1994 passing of the widely revered Lubavitcher Rebbe. \nZoom attendance link here \nCosponsored by the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies and Department of Religious Studies

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposia Talk: Arthur Szyk: Soldier in Art
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerArthur Szyk often said\, “Art is not my aim\, it is my means.” Yet\, his contemporaries praised him as the greatest illuminator-artist since the 16th century. He saw himself as a fighting artist\, enlisting his pen and paintbrush as his weapons against hatred\, racism\, and oppression before\, during\, and after World War II. As the leading anti-Nazi artist in America during the War\, Szyk also created the important and widely circulated art for the rescue of European Jewry. His Passover Haggadah has been acclaimed as “worthy of being considered as one of the most beautiful books ever produced by the hand of man.” In this talk\, Irvin Ungar will expose the viewer to the breadth and depth of the power\, purpose\, and persuasion of the great artist and the great man\, Arthur Szyk. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing after the talk. \nSponsored by the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposia Talk: Living in English\, Writing in Hebrew: A Conversation with Israeli-American Author Ruby Namdar
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerEighteen years ago\, Israeli author Ruby Namdar arrived in New York\, not knowing that he had just taken the first step of an incredible literary\, cultural\, and personal journey. The novel The Ruined House\, winner of the 2014 Sapir Prize\, Israel’s most prestigious literary award\, was an artistic response to Namdar’s wonderful experience of discovering America\, American Jewry\, and American Jewish literature. Translated from the Hebrew by Hillel Halkin\, The Ruined House was recently published in the U.S. by Harper Collins and was recognized by The New York Times as a “masterpiece of modern religious literature.” The renowned critic Adam Kirsch (Tablet Magazine) called it “a new kind of Jewish novel\, which everyone interested in Jewish literature should read.” \nIn this talk Ruby Namdar will discuss his sources of inspiration\, his new-found relationship to the great Jewish-American authors of the previous generation\, and the rewards -as well as the setbacks – of living in one language while writing in another. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSB Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel
