Since its founding, the AJS has grown into the largest learned society and professional or- ganization representing Jewish Studies scholars worldwide. As a constituent organization of the American Council of Learned Societies, the Association for Jewish Studies represents the field in the larger arena of the academic study of the humanities and social sciences in North America. The organization’s primary mission is to promote, facilitate, and improve teaching and research in Jewish Studies at colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher learning. Its more than 1,800 members are university faculty, graduate students, independent scholars, and museum and related professionals who represent the breadth of Jewish Studies scholarship. The organization’s institutional members represent leading North American programs and departments in the field. The AJS’s major programs and projects include an annual scholarly conference, featuring more than 170 sessions; a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, AJS Review, published by Cambridge Uni- versity Press; a biannual magazine, AJS Perspectives, that explores methodological and pedagogical issues; Positions in Jewish Studies, the most comprehensive listing of Jewish Studies job oppor- tunities; E-News, AJS’s monthly digital newsletter; Resources in Jewish Studies, an online guide to Jewish Studies programs, grant opportunities, professional development resources, electronic re- search tools, and doctoral theses; the Jordan Schnitzer Book Awards, which recognize outstand- ing research in the field; the Berman Foundation Dissertation Fellowships and Early Career Fel- lowships, which fund research on the North American Jewish Community; and the Distinguished Lectureship Program, which connects leading scholars with audiences outside the university. Membership in the association is open to individuals whose full-time vocation is teaching, re- search, or related endeavors in academic Jewish Studies; to other individuals whose intellectual concerns are related to the purposes of the association; and to graduate students concentrating in an area of Jewish Studies. Institutional membership is open to Jewish Studies programs and departments, foundations, and other institutions whose work supports the mission of the AJS. In order to maintain a professional and comfortable environment for its members, conference registrants, and staff, the association requires certain standards of behavior. These standards include, without limitation, courtesy of discourse, respect for the diversity of AJS members and conference attendees, and the ability to conduct AJS business and participate in the AJS Confer- ence in a nonthreatening, collegial atmosphere. AJS members and conference participants who do not uphold these standards may jeopardize their membership or conference participation. If you have any questions, please speak with an AJS staff person at the conference registration desk; the AJS’s Executive Director, Rona Sheramy; the Vice President for Conference Program, Reuven Firestone; or the President of the Association for Jewish Studies, Jeffrey Shandler. 4 AJSAJS InstitutionalInstitutional Members,Members, 2013-142011-12 The Association for Jewish Studies is pleased to recognize the following Institutional Members: FULL INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS ASSOCIATE INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS Boston University, Elie Wiesel American University, Center for Israel Center for Judaic Studies Studies & Jewish Studies Program Brandeis University Arizona State University, Center for Jewish Studies Brown University, Program in Judaic Studies Barnard College, Jewish Studies Program Columbia University, Institute for Blavatnik Archive Foundation Israel and Jewish Studies California State University, Fresno, Jewish Cornell University, Jewish Studies Program Studies Certificate Program Duke University, Center for Jewish Studies Georgetown University, Program Harvard University, Center for Jewish Studies for Jewish Civilization Hebrew Union College – Jewish Lehigh University, Philip and Muriel Berman Institute of Religion Center for Jewish Studies Indiana University, Robert A. and Sandra Loyola Marymount University, S.

  • The Secular Music of the Yemenite Jews As an Expression of Cultural Demarcation Between the Sexes
    JASO 27/2 (1996): 113-135 THE SECULAR MUSIC OF THE YEMENITE JEWS AS AN EXPRESSION OF CULTURAL DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE SEXES MARILYN HERMAN JEWISH men and women in Yemen are portrayed in the sociological and anthropo­ logical literature as having lived in separate conceptual and spatial worlds. As a result, two very separate bodies of song existed, one pertaining to men and the other to women. In this paper, I show how the culturally defined demarcation be­ tween the sexes is reflected and epitomized in the music of the Jews who lived in Yemen. i The key to this separation lies in the fact that women were banned from the synagogue altogether. This exclusion is not prescribed by Jewish law, and there is no precedent for it in the Bible or other Jewish literature or communities. The reason given for women being banned from the synagogue in Yemen was the fear that they might be menstruating. The condition of menstruation is, in Jewish law, This paper is based on my MA thesis (Herman 1985), which was written under the supervision and with the moral and academic support of Dr P. T. W. Baxter of Manchester University. My brother Geoffrey Herman willingly and painstakingly translated Hebrew articles into English for my benefit while I was writing this thesis. I. The period mainly referred to is the fifty years or so preceding 'Operation Magic Carpet', a series of airlifts between 1949 and 1950 in which the majority of Yemenite Jews were taken to Israel. 114 Marilyn Herman seen as ritually impure.

  • Jewish Dimensions of a Free Church Ecclesiology: a Community of Contrast
    Jewish Dimensions of a Free Church Ecclesiology: A Community of Contrast A research proposal by drs. Daniël Drost, April 2012 Supervised by Prof. Fernando Enns (promoter). Professor of Mennonite (Peace-) Theology and Ethics, Faculteit der Godgeleerdheid, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Director of the Institute for Peace Church Theology, Hamburg University. Dr. Henk Bakker. Universitair docent Theologie en Geschiedenis van het Baptisme, Faculteit der Godgeleerdheid, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Prof. Peter Tomson (extern). Professor of New Testament, Jewish Studies, and Patristics, Faculteit voor Protestantse Godgeleerdheid Brussel. The provisional title (and subtitle) of the dissertation Jewish Dimensions of a Free Church Ecclesiology: A Community of Contrast A brief description of the issue which the research project will investigate The research will start by investigating John Howard Yoder’s perspective on what he provocatively calls the ‘Jewishness of the Free Church Vision.’ Strongly recommended by Stanley Hauerwas (Duke University), Michael Cartwright (Dean of Ecumenical and Interfaith Programs at the University of Indianapoils) and Peter Ochs (Modern Judaistic Studies at the University of Virginia) posthumously edited and commented on Yoder’s lectures, which he had presented at the Roman- Catholic University of Notre Dame (The Jewish Christian Schism Revisited, 2003). Mennonite theologian Yoder does a firm attempt to relate an Anabaptist (Free Church) ecclesiology to Judaism. Within the tradition of the free churches (independence from government, congregational structure, voluntary membership, emphasis on individual commitment etc.) we can identify characteristics of a self-understanding and an aspired relation to the larger society, which can also be traced in the story of the People of Israel, the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple and rabbinic Diaspora Judaism – Yoder claims.

  • The Historical Jewish Ghettos of Venice
    d THE HISTORICAL JEWISH GHETTOS OF VENICE Duncan Cardillo The city of Venice, established well over a millennium ago, represents one of the most unique historic cities of the world today. Its preeminence as the foremost maritime power of its era is a reflection of its favorable geographical setting, where it functioned as a nexus of trade and culture between the East­ ern and Western worlds. Part of the fabric of Venice’s multi­ cultural composition are the Jewish settlements centered in a relatively small district within the confines of the city that the Venetians dubbed Ghetto Nuovo, Ghetto Vecchio, and Ghetto Nuo­ vissimo. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Jewish Ghetto within the Venetian urban context, to detail its socio­ logical and economic aspects, and, in so doing, establish the historical and cultural significance of its built heritage. An em­ phasis will be given to the synagogues within the Ghetto, in particular, the Scuolas Grande Tedesca and Levantina, which rep­ resent most succinctly the unique character of the Ghetto. To conclude, we examine some of the problems which are spe­ cific to the architecture of Venice, and the measures taken to preserve the historical structures in the Ghetto enclave. Venice is an aggregate of small islands situated within a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of northeastern Italy. The lagoon is approximately 40 kilometers long and varies in breadth from 5 to 10 kilometers. Several narrow barrier is­ 55 lands act as protective buffers from the action of the coastal waters of the open sea, with three major openings that allow the flow of tides in and out of the estuary.

  • 1 Jewish American Women's Writing: Dislodging Preconceptions By
    Jewish American Women’s Writing: Dislodging Preconceptions by Challenging Expectations Judith Lewin Josh Lambert describes “a little experiment” that he does with his Jewish literature classes: “I ask them to take out a piece of paper and a pen or pencil…. I say, ‘Draw a Jew.’…. One of my favorite questions to ask first is this: ‘How many of you drew a woman?’ (Usually, it’s at most one or two…)” (paras.1-3). Since Lambert notes that “usually, it’s at most one or two,” the students’ inability to imagine a woman inhabiting the category “Jew” is worth dwelling upon.1 Why is it Jewish American women are invisible, inaudible, and insufficiently read? This essay proposes a curriculum that engages students to think broadly and fluidly about Jewish American women authors and the issues and themes in their fiction. Previous pedagogical essays on Jewish American women’s writing include two in sociology/women’s studies on identities (see Friedman and Rosenberg; Sigalow), Sheila Jelen’s in Shofar on Hebrew and Yiddish texts, and a special issue in MELUS 37:2 (Summer 2012) that include women’s literature but without gender as a focus. The aim of this essay, by contrast, is to introduce teachers of American literature to an array of texts written by American Jewish women that will engage critical reading, thinking and writing by contemporary college undergraduates. Two questions must be dealt with right away. First, how does one justify treating Jewish American women’s literature in isolation? Second, how does one challenge the expectations of what such a course entails? As Lambert demonstrated from his informal survey, Jewish women writers are doubly invisible, to Jewish literature as women and to 1 women’s literature as Jews.

  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

  • 2006 Abstracts
    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

  • Architect Joseph Klarwein Was the Winner of the 1957 Contest for Planning the Knesset Building on Givat Ram
    Handout 1 Knesset Architect Joseph Klarwein was the winner of the 1957 contest for planning the Knesset building on Givat Ram. His initial proposal presented at the contest was ultimately very different than the building that was inaugurated on August 30th 1966. In fact, it was influenced by different architects that were involved in different parts of the planning and construction throughout its nine years, and among them were architect Dov Carmi and his son Ram. In textbooks written on the Knesset building, it is claimed that the planners intended to build a construction similar to the Greek Acropolis. Those who worked on the building programs before the contest had very little idea on how they wanted the building to look, and the result – an architectural mixture – surprisingly resembled the building of the United States’ embassy in Athens. The embassy was designed by the renowned Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, which was later considered as a specimen of the “International Style.” Klarwein’s original model was comprised of a rectangular construction with 20 columns on its front and back, 15 columns on each side, and two internal yards on the eastern and western sides of the plenum hall found at the center of the building. The entrance to the building was to be on its northern front. The constructed building was square, with 10 columns on all sides, and with no internal yards; the plenum is not at its center, but on its eastern part; and west to the plenum hall there is a reception hall. This hall is named “Chagall State Hall,” as it is decorated with art created by the Russian-born Jewish artist, Marc Chagall.
