LOCAL SCHOLARS SERIES – NEW! In this new CJL series, we feature local academics who will share their scholarship with the community, as well as bring their expertise and knowledge to bear on important contemporary conversations. JEWISH SEXUAL ETHICS: UNEXPECTED TEXTS Rebecca J. Epstein-Levi In this course, we will examine some of the more frequently deployed Jewish texts on sexuality and see what they have to offer and where their limits lie. Then, we will explore other textual possibilities. What might we learn about sexual health from texts that deal with day-to-day ritual impurity? What might classic tales of rabbinic argumentation tell us about BDSM, risk, and community? And what might a story about a powerful rabbi exempting himself from his own rulings have to say about #MeToo? Rebecca J. Epstein-Levi is the Friedman Postdoctoral Fellow in Jewish Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia, and her dissertation used rabbinic ritual purity discourse toward a Jewish ethic of sex and public health. She is a practical ethicist who examines questions of sexual, biomedical, and environmental ethics through a Jewish lens. Co-sponsored by Kol Rinah and the Center for Jewish Learning 1836. Wed 7-8:30 pm | 3 classes from 2/20-3/6 | $30 Location: Kol Rinah, 829 N. Hanley Road, 63130

RABBIS AND KITCHEN MAGICIANS: ANCIENT JEWISH “SUPERSTITION” IN CONTEXT James Redfield The rabbis of second to fourth century Roman Palestine are not known for their tolerance toward non-Jewish beliefs and practices. However, they were also curious about these matters – at the very least in order to prohibit them, but sometimes for other reasons as well. This talk will explore one area of their curiosity, in their laws of “superstition” or what they called “ways of the Amorite.” We will explore how the rabbis’ debates around these laws reflect a more nuanced interaction with their cultural environment – not only with their non-Jewish elite peers but also with popular Jewish practices. James Redfield is Assistant Professor of Biblical and Talmudic Literatures in the Department of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University. His Ph.D. in Religious Studies is from Stanford University, and he received an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley. James has a passion for translation and has published several shorter works from Yiddish, German, and French. He is currently completing a book-length translation of the Yiddish writings of Mikhah Yosef Berdichevsky entitled Letters from a Distant Relation. 1841. Mar 4 | Mon noon-1:30 pm | Free | $10 for optional kosher vegetarian lunch (registration required) Location: Kaplan Feldman Complex
LOCAL SCHOLARS SERIES ABLEISM AND ANTISEMITISM FROM NAZI GERMANY TO CONTEMPORARY AMERICA Harold Braswell and Warren Rosenblum The Nazi dream of a “master race” excluded both Jews and persons with disabilities. This was no coincidence. Nationalist movements frequently build a sense of unity and solidarity among their followers by demonizing the other. The Nazis were not the first nationalist movement to create a powerful ideological brew by mixing antisemitism and ableism; nor were they the last. Our presenters will explore the intersections between antiJewish feeling and discrimination against the disabled in the Nazi area and in more recent times. Co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Learning, Brodsky Library, and the Holocaust Museum & Learning Center Harold Braswell is an Assistant Professor of health care ethics at Saint Louis University. His work focuses on the intersection of bioethics and disability studies, with a specialization on disability at the end of life. His first book, The Dying Family: US Hospice Care and the Crisis of Freedom at the End of Life, will be published in fall 2019 by Johns Hopkins University Press. Warren Rosenblum is Professor of History and Chair of the History, Politics, and International Relations Department at Webster University in St. Louis. He is the author of Beyond the Prison Gates: Punishment and Welfare in Germany, 1850-1933, which won the Baker-Burton Prize of the Southern Historical Association. He is currently finishing a book about an antisemitic justice scandal in the Weimar Republic, and working on a major study of the treatment of the “feeble-minded” in modern Europe. Rosenblum serves on the Executive Committee of the Holocaust Museum & Learning Center in St. Louis.
JEWISH DIFFERENCE AND THE ARTS IN VIENNA: COMPOSING COMPASSION IN MUSIC AND BIBLICAL THEATER Caroline Kita Professor Caroline Kita will present on her book, Jewish Difference and the Arts in Vienna: Composing Compassion in Music and Biblical Theater (Indiana University Press, 2019), which examines discourses of inclusion and otherness in musical and dramatic works by Jewish artists in Vienna around 1900. Co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Learning, Brodsky Library, the Holocaust Museum & Learning Center, and the St. Louis Jewish Book Festival Caroline Kita is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Washington University in St. Louis. She received her Ph.D. from Duke University and her research interests include German and Austrian literature and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries, GermanJewish Studies, music and musical aesthetics, theater and performance, and sound studies. 1843.
