SUMMARY:My Grandfather's Altar
DESCRIPTION:Registration closed. The room is at capacity. \nVENUE CHANGE: This event will now be held at the UCLA Faculty Center. \nRichard Moves Camp\, in conversation with the editor and producer of his book My Grandfather’s Altar: Five Generations of Lakota Holy Men\, shares stories from this oral-literary narrative account of five generations of Lakota religious tradition. Moves Camp is the great-great-grandson of Wóptuȟ’a (“Chips”)\, the holy man remembered for providing Crazy Horse with war medicines of power and protection. The Lakota remember the descendants of Wóptuȟ’a for their roles in preserving Lakota ceremonial traditions during the official prohibition period (1883–1934)\, when the U.S. Indian Religious Crimes Code outlawed Indian religious ceremonies with the threat of imprisonment. \nWóptuȟ’a\, his two sons\, James Moves Camp and Charles Horn Chips\, his grandson Sam Moves Camp\, and his great-great-grandson Richard Moves Camp all became well-respected Lakota spiritual leaders. My Grandfather’s Altar offers the rare opportunity to learn firsthand how one family’s descendants played a pivotal role in revitalizing Lakota religion in the twentieth century. \n  \n  \nRichard Moves Camp (Oglala Lakota) is a fifth-generation Lakota healer\, tribal historian\, and spiritual leader. He teaches at Sinte Gleska University and lectures on Lakota history\, culture and traditions. In 2021\, he was named a Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellow. \nModerated by Jennifer Jessum\, book producer and founder of the Mitakuye Foundation and Simon Joseph\, book editor and Lecturer for UCLA’s Study of Religion IDP. \nCo-sponsored by the Mitakuye Foundation and Steve Aron/Autry Museum of the American West.

SUMMARY:EVENT CANCELLED - Confusion of the Babels: Multilingualism and Translation in Ancient Judaism
DESCRIPTION:EVENT CANCELLED.\nWhile the usual rendering and  understanding of the Tower of Babel narrative (Gen 11:1–9) presumes the existence of one unified divine and human language (usually Hebrew\, but with other candidates) between Eden and Babel\, an alternative narrative imagines there having already existed a totality of ‘seventy” languages from the beginning\, and only at Babel having been “dispersed\,” “confused\,” or should we say\, “babbled”?  We will explore the basis for this confusion in Scripture and its translations\, Second Temple texts\, early rabbinic teachings\, and\, by extension\, into early Christianity and Islam.  What are the implications of this alternative understanding for the status of Hebrew as a distinctly “Jewish” yet universal language\, and for the conception of language(s) and translation(s) more broadly\, culminating in the seminal article by Walter Benjamin\, “The Task of the Translator”? \nRSVP to this in-person event here.\n  \nSteven D. Fraade\, Mark Taper Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies and the History of Judaism at Yale University. Until his retirement in 2022\, Steven Fraade taught for forty-three years courses on rabbinic literature\, the history of Second Temple and early rabbinic Judaism\, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. He regularly offered seminars on midrashic\, mishnaic\, and talmudic texts\, and topics in ancient Jewish history. His research interests include the history of Judaism (in its varieties) in Second Temple and early rabbinic times; biblical translation and exegesis in ancient Judaism and Christianity; the history and rhetoric of ancient Jewish law; the Dead Sea Scrolls; literary-rhetorical analysis of tannaitic and amoraic rabbinic texts; attitudes towards ascetic piety in early Judaism; and multilingualism in ancient Jewish culture.

SUMMARY:Signs of Faith Against Fascism
DESCRIPTION:In this book talk\, Eric Martin will explore how people of faith can connect their religious traditions with the rise of overtly fascist violence in the United States. With first-hand accounts from the largest white supremacist gathering in modern American history at Unite the Right in Charlottesville\, Virginia\, Martin will share how the clergy resisting Nazis and the KKK point a way forward for Christians in particular. His book expands outward to ask what churches can learn from antifascists\, Black Lives Matter\, and those working on the ground to combat the continuing coalition of far-right militias and gangs that promise to endure. It also invites the faithful to imagine a counter-witness that does more than merely preach against hate. Using biblical exegesis\, storytelling\, interviews\, thought experiments\, art\, and theology\, Martin explores how we can rethink notions of civil disobedience\, nonviolence\, love\, prayer\, and liturgy to enflesh a worthy faith in the face of a fascist creep. \nRSVP to this in-person event here. \nRegister for a Zoom link here. \nEric Martin is a lecturer at UCLA for Study of Religion where he teaches about the Bible\, justice and liberation movements\, and spirituality. He also teaches at Loyola Marymount.
