"Does God Make Mistakes? Should God Repent?" Inaugural Peak to Peak Lecture in Aspen with Prof. Elias Sacks

Does God Make Mistakes? Clouds and sunFriday, August 26, 2016

The inaugural event of the CU Boulder Peak to Peak Lecture Series, Elias Sacks, assistant professor of Religious Studies and Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, gave a talk titled, “Does God Make Mistakes? Should God Repent?” at Aspen Jewish Congregation on Friday, August 26, 2016 during Shabbat services at 6:00PM.

The Jewish High Holidays are a time when people gather together to reflect on their lives, engage in teshuvah (repentance), and vow to do better.  But are people the only ones called to repent?  Does God also make mistakes?  If so, does God have to repent?  As the Jewish High Holiday season approaches, Professor Sacks’ talk explored ancient and modern views on these questions, asking whether God, too, has regrets and should be engaging in repentance.

Professor Sacks’ talk was generously hosted by community partner Aspen Jewish Congregation as part of the CU Boulder Peak to Peak Lecture Series. This series brings CU Boulder humanities scholars to communities around Colorado to share innovative perspectives on historical figures, events and world views. It is offered through the Program in Jewish Studies, a non-religious academic program that explores Jewish culture, history and society, in partnership with the CU Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement’s Arts and Humanities Initiative.

Film Screening: Oriented

Oriented filmWednesday, September 7, 2016

Hosted by the Boulder Jewish Community Center, this film screening of Oriented, a new film about being gay and Palestinian in Israel, featured David Shneer, Chair of Religious Studies and Professor of History, Religious Studies, and Jewish Studies, in conversation with the film's director Jake Witzenfield.

Film synopsis: They are gay, they are Palestinian, and neither their families in the villages they grew up in nor their hard-partying friends in the nightclubs of Tel Aviv can fully understand them. The three friends who live and work in Tel Aviv are politically active and assertive about their right to define their own complex identity —  and they’re not at all interested in conforming to the expectations of others. “Oriented” is an important, insightful, and moving film. This Boulder premiere was a special PrideFest collaborative screening, hosted by the Boulder Jewish Community Center and co-sponsored by CU's Program in Jewish Studies, CU's Department Religious Studies, and the ADL. Click here to watch the trailer.

False Jewish Messiah or Puritan Hero?: CU Boulder Peak to Peak Lecture in Trinidad, CO

Temple AaronSaturday, September 24, 2016

As part of the new CU Boulder Peak to Peak Series, Nan Goodman, Director of the Program in Jewish Studies and Professor of English at the University of Colorado Boulder, delivered a captivating talk about Sabbatai Sevi, an eccentric 17th century Jew who declared himself the Jewish Messiah, inspired the greatest messianic frenzy in Jewish history, and, despite a quick downfall, became an unlikely hero for Puritans in the New World. The event will took place in Trinidad, CO in Temple Aaron, the oldest synagogue in Colorado, and provided a chance for participants to celebrate this majestic building and its rich Trinidad history before it closed its doors after 127 years.

In addition to Professor Goodman’s talk, the evening featured an artists and authors soirée, the culminating event of the Trinidad Literary Arts Festival hosted by the Trinidad Area Arts Council, as well as a short discussion of the history of Temple Aaron by Kirby Stokes, director of the Trinidad History Museum, and Randy Rubin, whose family has served as synagogue caretakers since the 1980s. The talk was followed by a gallery exhibition featuring artwork by local Trinidad artists and an oral history opportunity for participants to share their stories related to Temple Aaron and the Jewish history of Trinidad.

Counter culture and cultural movements are no stranger to Trinidad. From Drop City, America’s first rural hippie artists’ commune, to the present day’s ArtoCade art car parade, and the first “Space to Create” state program for affordable housing for artists, Trinidad is again making history. This event was brought to you by the Trinidad Area Arts Council, Corazon de Trinidad Creative District, History Colorado Trinidad and the Rubin family in partnership with the CU Boulder Program in Jewish Studies and the CU Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement.

The Holocaust: Then and Now, Spanning the Void

Memory VoidThursday, January 26, 2017

The Program in Jewish Studies, the William A. Wise Law Library, the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures, and cosponsors at the University of Colorado Boulder honored International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a public lecture by visiting scholar Professor Nils Roemer.

The voids and empty spaces in the Jewish Museum in Berlin evoke destruction and absence. In this public lecture, Professor Nils Roemer aims to explore these absences and voids as important aspects of remembrance, particularly in relation to public commemorations of the Holocaust in museums and on Holocaust remembrance days. He will develop these themes of absence and advance models of remembrance that view the Holocaust as an historical event of the past amid the enormous void of an annihilated future. 

Nils RoemerNils Roemer is the Stan and Barbara Rabin Professor in Holocaust Studies and the Director of the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. He received his PhD in History from Columbia University in 2000.

In addition to his numerous published articles, Professor Roemer is the author of Jewish Scholarship and Culture in Nineteenth-Century Germany: Between History and Faith (2005) and The Story of Worms: German Cities – Jewish Memories(2010). He is currently finishing a book-length study on Central European Jewish travel writing in the twentieth century.

Professor Roemer serves as a board member for the Leo Baeck Institute in London and is an external reviewer for multiple scholarly journals. He has received numerous fellowships, including from the Center for Advanced Jewish Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Lawyers Without Rights: Jewish Lawyers in Germany Under the Third Reich

January 5, 2017 - January 30, 2017

The Lawyers Without Rights: Jewish Lawyers in Germany Under the Third Reich exhibit was available for viewing from January 5, 2017 through January 30, 2017 in the William A. Wise Law Library in the Wolf Law Building on the CU Boulder campus. The exhibit is sponsored by the William A. Wise Library at the University of Colorado Law School and the CU Program in Jewish Studies in conjunction with the American Bar Association and the German Federal Bar.

Jewish lawyers in Nazi Germany were one of the first populations to be targeted by the regime. While a sizable group emigrated, others went into hiding, ended up in jail, or worked in concentration camps. The fate of those judges and lawyers are highlighted in this exhibit. 

The exhibit has been shown in nearly 100 cities in Germany, the United States and other parts of the world. The idea for the exhibit was conceived in 1998 when an Israeli lawyer asked the regional bar of Berlin for a list of Jewish Lawyers whose licenses had been revoked by the Nazi regime. Siegel Marching

“The regional bar decided not only to research a list of names but also to try to find out more about the fates behind all those names,” said Axel Filges, past president of the German Federal Bar. “Some were able to leave the country after the Nazis came into power, but very many of them were incarcerated or murdered. The non-Jewish German lawyers of those days remained silent. They failed miserably, and so did the lawyers’ organizations. We do not know why.”

After the Berlin bar transformed its research into an exhibit, other regional bars began asking whether they could show it and add their own research. “So, like a puzzle, a portrait of the fate of Jewish lawyers in Germany has emerged step by step,” Filges said.

The exhibit was accompanied by the public lecture with Professor Nils Roemer on Thursday, January 26, 2017.

The Puritans: Heirs to the Hebrew Bible
Arts, Culture, and Education at the J Scholar Series with Professor Nan Goodman

Thursday, February 23, 2017

Director Nan GoodmanMany people know that the Puritans - the Protestant Reformers who came to New England in the seventeenth century -  saw themselves as heirs to the ancient Jews, referring to themselves the “surrogate Israel.”  Less well known, however, is the deep intellectual and religious investment of the Puritan elite in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish history, ancient and contemporaneous. This talk examined some of these strange and often mysterious connections.  

Professor Nan Goodman, Director of the Program in Jewish Studies and Professor of English, works at the intersection of the law and the humanities. She is rostered in the English Department at CU, has taught at CU’s law school, and in the spring of 2011 served as a Visiting Professor of Law and the Humanities at Georgetown Law Center. Professor Goodman has a PhD from Harvard and a JD from Stanford. 

1492: Columbus, the Jews, and the Messiah in Spain
with Professor Matt Goldish

Christopher Columbus2017 Annual Sondra and Howard Bender Visiting Scholar
Thursday, March 16, 2017

The Program in Jewish Studies, the Center for Western Civilization, Thought & Policy, the Department of History, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Colorado are pleased to present a public lecture featuring the 2017 Annual Sondra and Howard Bender Visiting Scholar, Professor Matt Goldish.

In his public lecture, Professor Goldish will focus on three enormous events that occurred in Spain during 1492: the end of the centuries-long war to end Muslim rule in the Iberian peninsula; the voyage of Christopher Columbus; and the expulsion of the Jews. These events are intimately connected, and their intersection runs directly through Spanish expectations about the messiah. Is it possible that we did not learn everything there is to know about Columbus in school? Find out from a Columbus resident. 

Matt GoldishMatt Goldish is a Professor of History and Jewish Studies at Ohio State University and holds the Melton Chair in Jewish History.  He is the Program in Jewish Studies' fifth annual Sondra and Howard Bender Visiting Scholar.

Professor Goldish's research interests focus on the Western Sepharadi Diaspora and the Portuguese Conversos of Amsterdam, London, and Hamburg. His book, The Sabbatean Prophets, deals with the role of prophecy in the great messianic movement of Sabbatai Zevi, which swept the Jewish world in 1665-1666. Additionally, he works on the seventeenth century, and his monograph, Judaism in the Theology of Sir Isaac Newton, revolves around the impact of Jewish ideas and literature on European intellectuals at the dawn of the Enlightenment. His latest book is Jewish Questions: Response on Sephardic Life in the Early Modern Period (2008).

Public Panel: Religion and Human Rights After the 2016 Election

Headshot of Professor Sam MoynThursday, April 6, 2017

What will the future of human rights look like after the 2016 election? How have religious traditions shaped our thinking about human dignity and democracy in the past, and how might the relationship between religion and human rights change in a time marked by developments such as populist movements, Brexit, and the election of Donald Trump? Our guest scholar, Professor Samuel Moyn, was joined by an interdisciplinary panel of CU and DU faculty to explore these questions, relfect on the fraught history—and uncertain future— of religion and human rights. 

The panelist included Greg Johnson (Religious Studies, CU), Susan Kent (History, CU), Carl Raschke (Religious Studies, DU), and Joshua Wilson (Political Science, DU).

Samuel Moyn is Jeremiah Smith, Jr. Professor of Law and Professor of History at Harvard University. He received a doctorate in modern European history from the University of California- Berkeley in 2000 and a law degree from Harvard University in 2001.

Magic, the Bible, and the Biblical Imagination in Jewish Mysticism

Professor Samuel BoydCU Boulder Peak to Peak Lecture and CU Carbondale Speakers Series
Saturday, April 15, 2017

Religion and magic are often categories that are considered to be distinct, if not opposites, from one another. In this lecture, Professor Sam Boyd showed why the study of magic is testimony to the vitality of Jewish traditions as well as valuable for understanding our own preconceptions and biases in the modern era. We looked at some theories regarding the study of magic and religion in light of Jewish texts and traditions. Professor Boyd began with the ancient Near Eastern context of the Bible and discussed the ways in which understandings of magic have fluctuated over time in biblical texts as well in as in the Jewish interpretive traditions and imagination.

Samuel Boyd is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and a scholar of biblical texts and the ancient Near East. He researches the Bible through various critical methods and in light of wider historical contexts to understand both the production of these documents as well as their history of interpretation.  His particular areas of research include the development of the Pentateuch (or first five books of the Hebrew Bible), legal hermeneutics in the ancient Near East, language ideology in the ancient world, and ritual theory applied to biblical texts.


This event is brought to you by Carbondale Arts and the Carbondale Branch Library in partnership with the CU Boulder Program in Jewish Studies and the CU Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement. Magicians, mystics, mischief-makers, and messiahs take center stage in the CU Boulder Peak to Peak Lecture Series, a program which brings CU Boulder humanities scholars to communities around Colorado to share innovative perspectives of historical figures, events and enduring questions.
