SUMMARY:Lost Books: The Forgetfulness of Writing and the Forgetting of Jewish Pasts
DESCRIPTION:  \nIt is often noted how the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls transformed our understanding of ancient Judaism\, radically expanding our evidence for Jews and Judaism prior to the rise of Christianity. Yet this material also stands as a striking reminder of how much of the literary heritage of Jewish antiquity has been lost to us. How and why was this material lost to the Jewish tradition\, and what might its forgetting tell us about Jewish memory-making\, past and present? This lecture explores these questions with a focus on lost books\, real and imagined\, and the shifting meanings of writing within Jewish cultural history. \nRSVP here \n  \nAnnette Yoshiko Reed is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School. She studies ancient Jews and Christians\, with a focus on questions of knowledge\, identity\, and difference. Her recent books include Jewish-Christianity and the History of Judaism and Christianity​ (2018 and Demons\, Angels\, and Writing in Ancient Judaism (2020).

SUMMARY:The Mothers\, the Mamzers\, and the Rabbis: Reconstructing Family and Community in Post-Holocaust Jewish Law
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis talk centers on the little-known story of the children of illicit unions that resulted from a highly unusual situation in post-Holocaust Munkacz\, a SubCarpathian town that had been a major Jewish center before World War II. A number of women who returned to Munkacz in 1945 believed their husbands had perished in the camps\, remarried\, had children\, and then saw their first husbands return. In 1965\, two major Eastern European Orthodox rabbis tried to find solutions to keep the children of these children from also being considered Mamzerim\, children of misbegotten unions who are considered outcasts in the Jewish community. In texts that at first glance appear highly formalistic and technical\, these Jewish legal decisors tackled many of the central dilemmas of postwar European Jewry\, and are thus illuminated by contemporary writings of policymakers\, international relief agencies\, novelists\, and historians. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies. \n  \nEthan B. Katz is Associate Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of California-Berkeley\, where he has taught since the fall of 2018. He is an affiliate faculty of the Center for Middle East Studies\, the Institute of European Studies\, and the Center for the Study of Religion. Dr. Katz also serves as the Chair of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Jewish Life and Campus Climate. Since the spring of 2019\, he has been the co-founder and co-director of the Antisemitism Education Initiative at Berkeley\, an effort that has received national attention and funding. \nRSVP required for Zoom access.

SUMMARY:Mark of Contradictions: The Creation of Judah's History and the Case of Samson
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn biblical texts\, we find preserved the “mark of contradictions\, fragmentations\, and adjunctions\,” as intellectual historian Michel de Certeau once wrote (The Writing of History 1988: 313). This talk will explore the mark of contradictions in what may seem a peripheral set of texts within the broader biblical narrative\, the Samson stories of Judges 13-16. Buried in the book of Judges\, these quirky stories have consistently baffled scholars: where do they come from\, why were they preserved\, and what role do they serve? In the talk\, Mahri Leonard-Fleckman will trace shifting portrayals of Samson through different biblical witnesses and rewritings through the first century C.E. to demonstrate how Samson preserves an important mark of contradictions as he is drawn into the fabric of Judah’s history. In doing so\, her broader aim is to probe the relationship between fluidity and fixity in scribal production\, history writing\, and tradition itself. Moderated by William Schniedewind (UCLA). \nRSVP here \n  \nMahri Leonard-Fleckman is an assistant professor of Hebrew Bible in the Religious Studies Department at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester\, MA. She specializes in Iron Age history and the composition history of the Hebrew Bible\, and is the author of The House of David: Between Political Formation and Literary Revision (Fortress Press\, 2016) and co-author of The Book of Ruth in the Wisdom Commentary Series (Liturgical Press\, 2017). Her current book project\, provisionally titled Scribal Representations and Social Landscapes of the Iron Age Shephelah\, focuses on scribal representations of the “Other” in ancient Israel in relation to broader questions of identity in the Iron Age Levant\, and is under contract with Oxford University Press. Leonard-Fleckman has published numerous scholarly and public-facing books and articles\, is currently the Catholic Biblical Quarterly Book Review Editor for the Old Testament and Qumran\, and is active on numerous other editorial boards and professional committees. \n  \n  \nCo-sponsored with the lead sponsor UCLA Alan D Leve Center for Jewish Studies as part of their Bible and the Ancient Near East series\, in addition to and the UCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures \n
