SUMMARY:Dr Sharon Kangisser Cohen - The Experience of Jewish Family during Shoah
DESCRIPTION:Kangisser Cohen on Yehuda Bacon 21 Aug 22    Hitler's intention and regime was the destruction of the Jewish people. Intrinsic to their murderous policy\, the Nazis separated Jews from their families and friends. The Nazi ghetto was the "last place" in which the traditional structure of the family was preserved. This lecture will examine the experience of the Jewish family during this period of extreme suffering: separation\, expulsion and death of its members. The presentation will focus on survival strategies – planned and unplanned that each member of the family adopted in order to survive. This lecture will be based on the post-war diaries of Holocaust survivor Yehuda Bacon.    “I no longer had my own bed\, my cupboard\, my books\, my family couldn’t take care of me as much\, a new life began for me.”  Yehuda Bacon\, July 23\, 1945

SUMMARY:Rabbinic Creativity in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Jewish law was transmitted from God to Moses on Mt. Sinai and through Moses to the leaders and rabbis of every generation. Yet\, the realities of the twenty-first century are not the realities of Mt. Sinai. How have the rabbis utilized the basic tenets of Jewish law to adopt and adapt to the changing realities of each generation? In this lecture Rabbi Mintz will focus primary on the development of the community eruv which reflects this tension and its resolution through the centuries.

SUMMARY:Alan Crown Lecture - The First Diasporas: Egypt and Babylonia 
DESCRIPTION:Gary A. Rendsburg  The Alan Crown Lecture  The First Diasporas:  Egypt and Babylonia   With the destruction of the First Temple in 586 B.C.E.\, Jews left the land of Israel in large numbers.  Over the course of the next two centuries\, we find a considerable amount of archaeological evidence for Jewish life both in Egypt and in Babylonia.  The former includes most remarkably the outpost of Jewish soldiers and families at Elephantine\, in the far south of Egypt\, opposite Aswan.  The latter includes hundreds of cuneiform tablets attesting to Jewish businesses and mercantile interests.  These people clearly took Jeremiah’s charge (29:1-7) to heart and successfully reconstructed their lives in exile.The Alan Crown Lecture 2019

SUMMARY:England as a Custodian of the Jewish Past
DESCRIPTION:Gary A. Rendsburg  England as a Custodian of the Jewish Past  Most people are well aware of England’s role as a center of antiquarianism\, and most are equally aware of England’s abiding interest in all matters biblical (witness Wycliffe\, Tyndale\, Authorized Version\, etc.).  Much less well known is England’s role as the custodian of the Jewish past.  To put it plainly:  No other country in the world possesses both the quality and the quantity of Hebrew manuscripts in its library collections – almost all of which were collected by Christian scholars (and not Jews):  Thomas Bodley\, John Selden\, Edward Pococke\, Robert Huntington\, Benjamin Kennicott\, et al.  Why is this so?  And how did it happen?  This lecture will   survey all of this material\, and more\, as it proceeds through the centuries\, commencing with the Middle Ages and then crafting the narrative from Tudor times to the Victorian age.

SUMMARY:The Jews of Arabia
DESCRIPTION:Gary A. Rendsburg  The Jews of Arabia   The least known Jewish community in the ancient world is the network of Jews who populated the Arabian Peninsula during the years between the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E. and the rise of Islam during the 7th century C.E.  Nonetheless\, a significant amount of material written in Hebrew\, Aramaic\, Greek\, Arabic\, and South Arabian – much of it discovered only within the past several decades – illuminates these Jewish communities.  Jews lived in oases in northern Arabia\, they lived as Jewish tribes in and around Medina\, and they even formed the basis of a Jewish kingdom in Yemen – while the wealthiest among them arranged for their burials in the land of Israel\, notwithstanding the great distances involved.  The narrative reminds us how time and again the historian of Judaism needs to have the broadest cultural and geographical horizons.  Gary Rendsburg's Ancient Israel at Mandelbaum

SUMMARY:Septuagint, Synagogue, and Symbiosis: The Jews of Hellenistic Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Gary A. Rendsburg  Septuagint\, Synagogue\, and Symbiosis: The Jews of Hellenistic Egypt   The conquests of Alexander the Great brought Hellenism to the entire Near East in the late 4th century B.C.E.  No Jewish community reflects the symbiosis of Hellenism and Judaism better than the large and thriving community of Egypt – especially in Alexandria\, though in other locales as well.  They translated the Bible into Greek\, they built synagogues (called proseuche in Greek) dedicated to the Ptolemy kings and queens\, they wrote Jewish literature in Greek\, they were fully integrated into the society and the economy\, and in one case they even constructed a temple in Egypt (to rival the one in Jerusalem).Gary Rendsburg's Ancient Israel at Mandelbaum

SUMMARY:The Balfour Declaration Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Colin Shindler  The Balfour Declaration Revisited    Did Lloyd-George’s government issue the Balfour Declaration in November 1917 out of the goodness of its collective heart?   In addition to British national interests in a time of war\, did genteel anti-Semitism and ‘the perceived power of international Jewry’ play a central role?  Was it an ‘historic error’ which led to a century of conflict between Zionist Jews and Palestinian Arabs?

SUMMARY:A Pariah amongst Nations? A History of Israel and the Left
DESCRIPTION:Colin Shindler   A Pariah amongst Nations? A History of Israel and the Left    Despite virtually unanimous support in 1948\, what has led to the acerbic criticism of Israel – as a state rather than its government’s policies – by the international Left in 2018?   Is there a difference between a national Left of a country and its Jewish Left? Is ideological anti-Zionism more important than a legitimate support of the Palestinian cause?   Has the question of Israel become symbolic of the struggle between Right and Left in a country – regardless of the complex realities of the Israel-Palestine imbroglio?

SUMMARY:The Rise of the Israel Right: Menachem Begin to Bibi Netanyahu
DESCRIPTION:The Rise of the Israel Right: From Menachem Begin to Bibi Netanyahu    Why has the Right become the incumbent party of government in Israel?   How did Menahem Begin transform his Herut movement\, winning only 14 seats out 120 in 1949 to winning power as the Likud in 1977?  Why has the far Right\, opposed to the Likud\, emerged as a political force to be reckoned with?  Despite all the cynicism directed at Netanyahu\, amidst charges of corruption that may land him in court\, why is the current prime minister\, according to opinion polls\, heading towards yet another Likud electoral victory?

SUMMARY:Emigration & Internment of Women in France (1939-1944)
DESCRIPTION:  At the end of the 1930s\, women persecuted under a variety of European regimes came to France in order to find asylum. Some of them met in Rieucros\, a French internment camp originally set up by the Third Republic. On the basis of emergency decrees of May and November 1938\, the French state had established this first internment camp Rieucros in January 1939\, which became a camp exclusively for women in October 1939. In February 1942\, authorities transferred the entire camp population of women and children to the camp of Brens\, near Albi in the South-West of France. After the transfer the situation became more and more dangerous for the Jewish prisoners as French Government more and more actively collaborated in the "final solution" On 26th August 1942 a great number of Jewish women were deported from Brens to Auschwitz where they all were killed. Anticipating this danger few women tried to escape and some of them who succeeded joined the French resistance.   While the geographical and social backgrounds of these women were extremely different\, they had some points in common which provide a fascinating study. Many of the women produced autobiographical texts\, which reflect their perceptions\, visions and interpretations of their experiences of migration and imprisonment. These testimonies\, together with numerous drawings\, photos and a great number of interviews can be considered as a large archive of this specific historical event. The aim of this lecture is to give a deeper insight to this complex but long-time neglected chapter of women's emigration to France focussing especially on the fate of Jewish women.

SUMMARY:North African Jewry – The Case of Quebec (Location: Sephardi Synagogue Woollahra)
DESCRIPTION:  2009 marked a milestone in the history of the community of the North-African Jews in North America. A community that did not exist as such in 1958 - the Francophone Sephardim of Montreal - are now counted in the thousands\, one out of ten Jews in Montreal was born in North Africa. After fifty years\, Sephardic settlement in North-America needs to be understood as both a component of a French Canadian society in dynamic transition as well as another instance of a Jewish diaspora in the making. After half a century's community life in Québec\, essentially in Montréal\, Sephardic identity merits full recognition as a North America reality. There are different elements framing the attitude of Moroccan Sephardim in Québec vis-à-vis their land of birth. On the one hand there is bitterness and resentment that they were "forced" to leave their homeland. But fifty years after the going in exile\, a more rose-tinted nostalgia overshadowed the negative memories of Morocco. Memory of a laid back Mediterranean lifestyle balances the annual shock of the Québécois winter. There is little regret about the decision to emigrate\, but a fondness for what was left behind\, particularly in terms of personal relations and youthful dreams\, drapes le Maroc with an aura of wistfulness. This lecture will look at the specific way this memory and "Moroccan Jewish identity" were inscribed in literary texts from North-African Jews exiled to Québec.

SUMMARY:Elie Wiesel: the Man and his Legacy - Professor Steven Katz
DESCRIPTION:Steven Katz at Mandelbaum    This lecture\, dedicated to the memory of Elie Wiesel\, will begin with a summary of his biography and the main features of Wiesel’s remarkable life.  I will then discuss the key issues raised by his enormous and highly influential list of publications.  Finally\, I will conclude with more personal reminiscences of his political activity that\, from the 1960s on\, brought him into contact with almost all the major intellectual\, spiritual and political figures in America\, Western Europe and Israel\, and gained him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.  Through it all\, no matter his fame\, he remained a dedicated teacher to his students and a loyal and special friend.

SUMMARY:Jewish Theological Responses to the Holocaust - Professor Steven Katz
DESCRIPTION:Steven Katz at Mandelbaum    By its very nature the Holocaust raises pressing theological questions vis-a-vis the larger traditional Jewish theological tradition.  In this lecture I will explore the  reasons why this is the case and how post-Holocaust Jewish thinkers have tried to respond to\, and some to explain\, the reason(s) for the Holocaust.  The thinkers to be discussed are; Eliezer Berkovits\, Abraham Joshua Heschel\, Richard Rubenstein\, Emil Fackenheim\, Irving Greenberg\, Emannual Levinas\, and R. Menachem Schneerson\, among others.

SUMMARY:Jewish Resistance - Professor Steven Katz
DESCRIPTION:Steven Katz at Mandelbaum    There is a widespread belief that during World War II Jews “went like lambs to the slaughter.”  This view needs to be re-evaluated in light of a great deal of contrary evidence.  We will first review the context in which the issue of Jewish resistance needs to be considered and the obstacles it had to confront.  We will then examine the considerable degree to which Jews did\, in fact\, resist\, both “spiritually” and “physically\,” in ghettos\, partisan groups\, and even in the Death Camps.

SUMMARY:Alan Crown Lecture 2017 with Emeritus Professor Michael Stone 
DESCRIPTION:Click here  Secret Societies in Ancient Judaism  The sources for the knowledge of Second Temple Judaism (before 70CE) present us with descriptions of a number of groups.  Of these\, at least the Essenes and the Therapeutae are said to have secret teachings.  In scholarship\, however\, when sociological categories have been applied to them\, they analyze them on the model of sects and orthodoxy.  Professor Stone's proposition is to analyze them as secret societies\, that is\, social groups organised around the imperative of keeping a body of knowledge and practice secret.  As an outcome of this imperative\, it was necessary to develop a process of testing and initiation which is graded so only very few reached the highest grade and the innermost secret.  This model works well with known Jewish groups and enables us to discern traces of others.Click here

SUMMARY:The Alan Crown Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Messiahs of Israel: The Origin of the Messianic Idea in Ancient Judaism   The concept of a Messiah originated in ancient Judaism\, is central in Christianity\, and became a compelling idea in western thought. On the one hand\, the word “Messiah\,” which means “anointed” in Hebrew\, appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible. Kings\, priests\, and some of the prophets were all anointed. On the other hand\, the term is never used in an eschatological sense in the Hebrew Bible to describe a redeemer figure who will come at the end of time. This changed in the last centuries BCE\, during the Second Temple period. By the turn of the Common Era\, “Messiah” had become associated with the end of days\, and messianic expectations were common in Judaism. This talk examines the origins and considerable diversity of messianic expectations in ancient Judaism.   Professor Matthias Henze is the Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Professor of Hebrew Bible and Early Judaism at Rice Univeristy\, Houston\, where he is also the Founding Director\, Program in Jewish Studies.   He is visiting Sydney as Mandelbaum Scholar in Residence.

SUMMARY:Fifty Shades of J
DESCRIPTION:Fifty Shades of J: The Jewish Image in British Television from 1965 – 2015    This illustrated talk\, written to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Parkes Library in Southampton\, will present a variety of different ways in which Jews and Jewishness have been presented on British television since 1965.  It will consider predominantly moments when an on-screen character or figure is identified in some way by her/himself or by others as ‘a Jew’ or Jewish.  The aim will be not to suggest a reductive essentialist reading of Jewishness with connotations of Sartre – one is a Jew is one says one is a Jew – but to consider how Jewishness has been suggested\, recognised and read over the past half century\, and the implications this has for our understanding of Jewish/non-Jewish relations.  It will draw on comedies\, dramas and documentaries\,m asking if there is a difference engagement and relationship depending on the context.          Dr James Jordan is based at the University of Southampton where he holds the position of Karten Lecturer at the Parkes Institute for Jewish/non-Jewish Relations.

SUMMARY:Comparing Nuremberg and 'Nuremberg'
DESCRIPTION:Comparing Nuremberg and 'Nuremberg': History & the Imagination at the IMT in Fact & Fiction    The International Military Tribunal (IMT) at Nuremberg was always going to be a highly visible media trial.  Perhaps tellingly\, The Times’s correspondent Robert Cooper had cause to note ahead of the trial that "[b]y dint of much American ingenuity the small courtroom …[had been] completely transformed […].   There was far more of Hollywood about the [new] lay-out than of a British court.”         The IMT was certainly partly cinematic spectacle and yet it would not be until the US/Canadian miniseries in 2000\, entitled simply Nuremberg\, that the IMT was put on the screen.  In this talk Dr Jordan considers the relationship between the IMT and its screen counterpart\, examining some of the (many) inaccuracies in the recreation\, and in particular how it re-interprets the trials’ evidence and purpose so as to position the attempted extermination of the Jews in Europe at the heart of the proceedings.      Dr James Jordan is based at the University of Southampton where he holds the position of Karten Lecturer at the Parkes Institute for Jewish/non-Jewish Relations.

SUMMARY:Dr Who and the Changing Face of Jewish Identity
DESCRIPTION:It has recently been suggested that the Doctor\, the central character of the BBC’s Doctor Who\, is in fact the most compelling Jewish character ever seen on British television.  This talk will consider this statement though a consideration of the show’s history both off-screen and on.  It will explore the (real and imagined) displays of Jewish identity seen across 50 years through a discussion of such features as the Doctor’s changing appearance his rivalry with the Master and the long-standing enmity towards the Daleks.  Dr James Jordan is based at the University of Southampton where he holds the position of Karten Lecturer at the Parkes Institute for Jewish/non-Jewish Relations.

SUMMARY:From Nuremberg to Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:Across seventy years\, most famously with the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg\, the courtroom has been the forum for an increasingly nuanced\, often intentionally pedagogic\, examination of the Holocaust’s history and its legacy for an American audience.   Analogous to this sequence of trials\, Hollywood and American film more generally have also consistently turned to the law and the dialectic of the courtroom in order to represent and engage with the Holocaust and its memory.    In this talk\, Dr Jordan will provide a cultural history of these films and how they have confronted the challenges of representation which beset all Holocaust films.  In particular\, he will consider how the films in question present and represent evidence\, focussing on key scenes to discuss not only what is depicted but also how.  In so doing\, this brings together the law\, the Holocaust and the cinema\, asking questions of the act of ‘witnessing' and our relationship to an event which is now in the final stages of its transition from being an event in living memory to one beyond it.  Dr James Jordan is based at the University of Southampton where he holds the position of Karten Lecturer in the Parkes Institute for Jewish/non-Jewish Relations.
