KAMILA KOPŘIVOVÁ: V SUKNI A S JARMULKOU – RABÍNKY A UČENKYNĚ

CYKLUS JUDAISTICKÝCH PŘEDNÁŠEK PRO VEŘEJNOST

March 27, 2024 | 5 PM | Tř. Svobody 26, 2nd floor, room 3.51

 

Kamila Kopřivová, Ph.D. pracuje jako rabínka ve Westminsterské synagoze v Londýně, je autorkou účtu @rabinkavzacviku a také stejnojmenné knihy. 

Emancipace žen je bez nadsázky jedním z největších zdrojů transformace napříč židovskými denominacemi. V posledních padesáti letech bylo téměř každé židovské hnutí ve větší či menší míře ovlivněno židovským feminismem, který se snaží zrovnoprávnit židovské ženy s židovskými muži.

Přednáška se soustředí na základní židovsko-náboženská pravidla vymezující role mužů a žen a na to, jakým směrem se ubírají.

Přednáška bude probíhat mimořádně přes Zoom v učebně č. 3.51 (2. patro).

KATHARINA HILLMANN: Abraham Bar Hiyya and the Rise of Hebrew Philosophy in the Middle Ages

JUDAIC LECTURE SERIES FOR THE PUBLIC SS 24

February 14, 2024 | 5 PM | CJS Library, Tř. Svobody 26, 1. floor, room 2.36

Katharina Hillmann is a PhD student at the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Bar-Ilan University, Israel. Her research focuses on medieval Jewish philosophy, Hebrew philosophical terminology, and the history of scholarship in the field of Jewish Studies.

Abraham Bar Hiyya (1065, Barcelona - 1136 Narbonne) was a renowned Jewish thinker in many different fields and one of the first philosophers to write exclusively in Hebrew. His aim was to make the scientific knowledge of his time accessible to a wider Jewish audience, advocating the importance of studying both Torah and the natural sciences while granting authority to non-Jewish thinkers. This lecture will present Abraham Bar Hija and his thought as an example of early Hebrew philosophy in the context of his intellectual and cultural milieu. The lecture will be in English.

DANIEL BARÁNEK: Crossing the boundaries of the ghetto. The transformation of Jewish settlement structures and the acculturative strategy of Jews

Series of lectures for the public WS 23-24

"Jewish Modern History as Transnational History. The Jewish experience in Eastern Europe from the late 19th century till the middle of the 20th century"

Block course by prof. Marcose Silber (University of Haifa)

"There is no Jewish history without Polish history and no Polish history without Jews." is the famous statement of the equally famous professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jacob Goldberg. 
In the winter semester 2023/24, we are offering you a unique opportunity to enroll in an elective seminar entitled "Jewish Modern History as Transnational History. The Jewish experience in Eastern Europe from the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th century" by Professor Marcos Silber of the University of Haifa, who is a student of Goldberg and a renowned expert on Polish Jewish history. The seminar provides a more general view of the key features of the life of Eastern European Jews in a global context, and its completion is beneficial not only for the erudition of the teacher, but also because seminars focused exclusively on the largest European Diaspora are not commonly offered. You will be able to successfully apply the acquired knowledge, for example, in state examinations. Moreover, this is the first ever course taught by an academic from the University of Haifa, with whom we are planning closer cooperation, not least because of its popularity among students. Haifa is an open, heterogeneous and affordable city, the local university offers Hebrew classes to foreign students quite exceptionally, and its specialist focus on the history of German and Polish Jews is also attractive.
The course is taught in English and, due to Prof. Silber's time constraints, is organized in blocks in the first and second weeks of the semester. If necessary, CJS will provide excuses for seminars that will conflict in time. 


Class dates: Tuesday-Thursday, Sept. 19-21: 3-6:15 p.m., Friday, Sept. 22: 9:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 26: 11:30 a.m.-2:45 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 27: 8-11:15 a.m.; classroom SV-D.2.07.

Kurt Schubert - celebratory act for the missed 100th birthday

On March 28 and 29, at the University of Vienna, we solemnly commemorated the 100th birthday of CJS co-founder prof. Kurt Schubert. In the early evening of Tuesday, Professor Schubert's companions, including biochemist, former rector of the University of Vienna and former Minister of Science and Research Hans Tuppy, Judaist Günther Stemberger and long-time rector of the Afro-Asian Institute in Vienna and director of the Forum for world religions Petrus Bsteh. Also present were Schubert's pupils, historian Martha Keil, art historian and Judaist Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and Judaist Bernard Dolna. Of course, all the institutions that Kurt Schubert was involved in founding were also represented, including the CJS.

 

During the evening, a number of speeches were given by important academic, church and political representatives who reflected on Schubert's work and legacy, carried in the spirit of mutual, not only inter-religious dialogue. After the rector of the University of Vienna, Sebastian Schütz, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn and Chief Rabbi Jaron Engelmayer, Rector Martin Procházka also spoke on behalf of Palacký University in Olomouc. In his speech, he expressed support for mutual cooperation between the Vienna and Olomouc departments. Given the ongoing protest against the long-term underfunding of humanities and social sciences at universities in the Czech Republic, this statement had an important symbolic meaning.

 

On the following day, CJS presented its research activities as well as the events it organizes for a wide professional and lay public at a joint workshop with Viennese Judaists and representatives of the Center for Jewish Art of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Specialized map Development of the Jewish settlement in Olomouc: Geographical and socio-economic structure of the Jewish population in the period 1180–2021

The Kurt and Ursula Schubert Center for Jewish Studies in cooperation with the Department of Geoinformatics (Faculty of Science, Palacký university Olomouc) and the Education Department of the Olomouc Museum of Art has just published a joint project IGA_FF_2021_026, specialized map with professional content "Development of the Jewish settlement in Olomouc: Geographical and socio-economic structure of the Jewish population in the period 1180–2021" in printed and digital versions.

The map provides an analysis of intraurban migration of the Jewish civilian population based on the political and socio-economic development of the Jewish community in Olomouc and its surroundings. Secondary maps present the results of the analysis of interurban migration, graph visualization of the analysis of statistical data, socio-economic structure and national / linguistic and cultural stratification of the Jewish population of Olomouc. A detailed accompanying report is included. The map is a unique source of information for the scientific activities of research and collection organizations (research institutes, museums, etc.), educational facilities (high schools and universities), for the Jewish community and the general public.


You can view the map in the digital version here.
