2011 Center Annual Report.Pdf I The Center for Jewish History is one of the great public Jewish historical and cultural institutions in the world. As the campus to its five partner organizations — American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research — the Center has achieved recognition as a venue of unrivaled historical documentation and scholarship, imaginative exhibitions of Judaic art and artifacts, and vital public dialogue. The collections of its partners total over 500,000 volumes and 100 million archival documents. Spanning more than 600 years of Jewish history, the collections include thousands of pieces of artwork, textiles and ritual objects, as well as music, films and photographs. They comprise, taken as a whole, the largest repository of the modern Jewish experience outside of Israel. Since opening its doors to the public in October 2000, the Center for Jewish History has become the foremost Jewish research and cultural institution in New York City, enabling the history of the Jewish people to come alive through an array of scholarship and cultural programming. A prime destination for scholars from around the world, the Center is housed in a building that is as multifaceted as the institutions and collections found within its walls. The Center brings together rich and diverse records of all aspects of contemporary Jewish communities, including resources on all major cultural, geographic and religious The Valentin M.

    COVER: Stone medallion with the purported martyrdom scene of Simonino di Trento. Palazzo Salvadori, Trent, Italy. Photo by Andreas Caranti. Via Wikimedia Commons. YIVO INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH RESEARCH PRESENTS CONFERENCE OCTOBER 9, 2016 CO-SPONSORED BY 1 INCE ITS FABRICATION IN THE MIDDLE AGES, the accusation that Jews Skidnapped, tortured and killed Christian children in mockery of Christ and the Crucifixion, or for the use of their blood, has been the basis for some of the most hateful examples of organized antisemitism. The blood libel has inspired expulsions and murder of Jews, tortures and forced mass conversions, and has served as an ines- capable focal point for wider strains of anti-Jewish sentiment that permeate learned and popular discourse, social and political thought, and cultural media. In light of contemporary manifestations of antisemitism around the world it is appropriate to re-examine the enduring history, the wide dissemination, and the persistent life of a historical and cultural myth—a bald lie—intended to demonize the Jewish people. This conference explores the impact of the blood libel over the centuries in a wide variety of geographic regions. It focuses on cultural memory: how cultural memory was created, elaborated, and transmitted even when based on no actual event. Scholars have treated the blood libel within their own areas of expertise—as medieval myth, early modern financial incentive, racial construct, modern catalyst for pogroms and the expulsion of Jews, and political scare tactic—but rarely have there been opportunities to discuss such subjects across chronological and disciplinary borders. We will look at the blood libel as historical phenomenon, legal justification, economic mechanism, and visual and literary trope with ongoing political repercussions.

  • JUL 15 and the History of YIVO CECILE KUZNITZ | Delivered in English
    MONDAY The Rise of Yiddish Scholarship JUL 15 and the History of YIVO CECILE KUZNITZ | Delivered in English As Jewish activists sought to build a modern, secular culture in the late nineteenth century they stressed the need to conduct research in and about Yiddish, the traditionally denigrated vernacular of European Jewry. By documenting and developing Yiddish and its culture, they hoped to win respect for the language and rights for its speakers as a national minority group. The Yidisher visnshaftlekher institut [Yiddish Scientific Institute], known by its acronym YIVO, was founded in 1925 as the first organization dedicated to Yiddish scholarship. Throughout its history, YIVO balanced its mission both to pursue academic research and to respond to the needs of the folk, the masses of ordinary Yiddish- speaking Jews. This talk will explore the origins of Yiddish scholarship and why YIVO’s work was seen as crucial to constructing a modern Jewish identity in the Diaspora. Cecile Kuznitz is Associate Professor of Jewish history and Director of Jewish Studies at Bard College. She received her Ph.D. in modern Jewish history from Stanford University and previously taught at Georgetown University. She has held fellowships at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, and the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. In summer 2013 she was a Visiting Scholar at Vilnius University. She is the author of several articles on the history of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, the Jewish community of Vilna, and the field of Yiddish Studies.

  • PHILISTINES in the BOOKS of KINGS* Seymour Gitin W. F
    PHILISTINES IN THE BOOKS OF KINGS* Seymour Gitin W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research, Jerusalem 1. Introduction The Philistines have long been of interest to students of the Bible. Although extra-biblical texts – including Egyptian, Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, and Greek sources – provide a number of important insights into the history of the Philistines, evidence that could address in detail questions relating to their origin, their historical, cultural, religious, and economic development, and their ultimate fate has only come to light in the last half-century as a result of archaeological exca- vations. Most importantly, archaeology has shed new light on the role of the Philistines as one of the chief protagonists in the history of biblical Israel. The Philistines, Philistia, and its cities are mentioned a total of 422 times in the Bible, but only 18 of these references occur in the Book of Kings, and these mention only the Philistines and three of their five capital cities, namely, Ekron, Gath, and Gaza. This indi- cates that in stark contrast to other periods, they played only a minor role during the period covered by the Book of Kings – the period of the United and Divided Monarchies that spanned from the 10th through the 8th c. BCE.1 Even though these 18 references offer only a * I wish to thank Edna Sachar for her careful reading of the text and to acknowl- edge the following credits for the illustrations: Figs. 1–2 from the Collection of the Israel Antiquities Authority/photos © the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Figs. 3–5, 13 courtesy of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon; Fig.

  • YIVO Institute for Jewish Research Re: Otto Frank File Embargoed Until
    Prepared for: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research Re: Otto Frank File Embargoed until: February 14, 2007 at 10 AM EST BACKGROUND TO THE SITUATION OF JEWS IN THE NETHERLANDS UNDER NAZI OCCUPATION AND OF THE FAMILY OF OTTO FRANK By: David Engel Greenberg Professor of Holocaust Studies New York University Understanding the situation of Jews in the Netherlands under Nazi occupation, like understanding any aspect of the Holocaust, requires suspension of hindsight. No one could know in 1933, 1938, or even early 1941 that the Nazi regime would soon embark upon a systematic program aimed at killing each and every Jewish man, woman, and child within its reach. The statement is true of top German officials no less than it is of the Jewish and non-Jewish civilian populations of the twenty countries within the Nazi orbit and of the governments and peoples of the Allied and neutral countries. Although it is tempting to look back upon the history of Nazi anti-Jewish utterances and measures and to detect in them an ostensible inner logic leading inexorably to mass murder, the consensus among historians today is that when the Nazi regime came to power in January 1933 it had no clear idea how the so-called Jewish problem might best be solved. It knew only that, from its perspective, Jews presented a problem that would need to be solved sooner or later, but finding a long-term solution was initially not one of the regime's most immediate priorities. Between 1933-41 various Nazi agencies proposed different schemes for dealing with Jews.
