Lecture | The Intolerance of Monotheism: Towards a Religious History of Antisemitism (in-person and online)


Because of their minority status in Medieval Islamic and Christian societies, Jews became the persecuted other who justified Christian and Muslim belief in their own supersession or replacement theology. Even in the modern, more secular era, baked-in religious prejudices informed the dynamics of racial antisemitism. The Nazis freely drew upon Christian imagery in their propaganda. Similarly post-Holocaust Islamic and Western antisemitism today still rely on these notions of religious superiority. Perhaps the only hope for an end to this 2500-year hatred is for each monotheism to renounce the intolerance inherent in their religious traditions and truly appreciate each other's value. Speaker Bruce Ruben was raised in Portland Oregon. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music (1975) and a Master's in Religion (1978) from Indiana University. He went on to the Jewish Theological Seminary where he became a cantor in 1981. A year later he began a twenty-four-year tenure at Temple Shaaray Tefila in New York City. While serving as the congregation's cantor, Cantor Ruben earned a Ph.D. in history from thae Graduate School of City University. He has taught Jewish history at Hunter College from the early 1990s. He continues to teach Jewish history at Hunter and serves as the spiritual leader of Temple Beth Am in Parsippany New Jersey.

Book Discussion | By the Second Spring: Seven Lives and One Year of the War in Ukraine (in-person and online)


A book talk by Danielle Leavitt. In February 2022, after years of saving money, Vitaly opened a coffee bar in a Kyiv suburb. But his dreams of owning a coffeeshop came to naught when, three weeks later, a convoy of Russian tanks plowed through town and rockets destroyed the coffee bar and split his apartment building in two. Meanwhile, across the country, eighteen-year-old Anna drops out of police academy and begins a tumultuous relationship with a soldier she met online. Nearby, a family copes with the aftermath of a brutal train station bombing. Across the world, Polina abandons her career in fashion and returns home to Ukraine to organize relief efforts. Over the past three years, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has shaken the world order. But Europe’s largest land war in seventy-five years has also affected countless individual lives. Danielle Leavitt goes beyond familiar portraits of wartime heroism and victimhood to reveal the human experience of the conflict. As battle lines shift, her subjects’ relationships, livelihoods, and loyalties are put to new and dramatic tests. How do you keep living when your home is destroyed, when your family is separated, when your body is wounded, or when the enemy lives a few doors down? Can you believe in the future while destruction rages on? To illuminate the complex and contested resurgence of Ukraine’s national spirit, Leavitt also tells the story of Volodymyr Shovkoshitniy—a nuclear engineer at Chernobyl who led a daring campaign in the late 1980s to return the bodies of three Ukrainian writers who’d died in a Soviet gulag.

Book Discussion | Love, Money, Duty: Stories of Care in Our Times


Rachel E. Adams presents her new book. From birth to death, we care and are cared for by others. Yet we rarely acknowledge care except when it fails. In Love, Money, Duty, Rachel Adams examines the stories we tell about care, those who do the work, and those who depend on it. These narratives, she argues, help us better understand our complicated feelings about care and the obligations that come with it.

Book Discussion | Warsaw Testament: Memoir of a Yiddish Literary Community Before the Holocaust (in-person and online)


Born in Lanowitz, a small village in rural Podolia, author Rokhl Auerbach was a journalist, literary critic, memoirist, and a member of the Warsaw Yiddish literary community before the Holocaust. Upon the German invasion and occupation of Poland in 1939, she was tasked by historian and social activist Emanuel Ringelblum to run a soup kitchen for the starving inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto and later to join his top-secret ghetto archive, the Oyneg Shabes. One of only three surviving members of the archive project, Auerbach’s wartime and postwar writings became a crucial source of information for historians of both prewar Jewish Warsaw and the Warsaw Ghetto. After immigrating to Israel in 1950, she founded the witness testimony division at Yad Vashem and played a key role in the development of Holocaust remembrance. This is a lecture by historian Samuel Kassow about Auerbach’s memoir, Warsaw Testament, which paints a vivid portrait of the city’s prewar Yiddish literary and artistic community and of its destruction at the hands of the Nazis.
