SUMMARY:36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The 36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Ayala Fader on\nThursday\, March 26\, 2026. Food will be served at the pre-lecture reception\,\nand Fader will sign books after the lecture. This free\, public lecture will\ntake place in the Pendleton Room of the Michigan Union on Thursday\, March 26\,\n2026. Please RSVP at (https://myumi.ch/15PN8) to let\nus know if you plan to attend. \nOver the past decade\, frum (Orthodox) Jewish women wellness influencers on\nsocial media have become a significant presence. Despite attempts by some\nrabbis to silence them\, frum influencers in the United States and Israel\ncontinue to share intimate details of their everyday lives online\, earning a\nliving through the promotion of products linked to their platforms. Professor\nFader’s talk examines the seemingly contradictory worlds these influencers\nnavigate: while claiming new forms of gendered authority\, they simultaneously\nreinforce traditional Jewish family structures and gender roles.\nDrawing inspiration from conservative Christian wellness influencers\, frum\ninfluencers create content that asserts Jewish exceptionalism while fostering\nunexpected exchanges with conservative Christian women. The lecture will\nconsider whether frum social media influencers are subtly promoting illiberal\npolitics through the gendered language of wellness. \n**Ayala Fader  **is professor of anthropology at Fordham University. She is\nthe author of the award-winning books\, _Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next\nGeneration of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn_  (Princeton University Press\, 2009)\nand _Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age_  (Princeton University\nPress\, 2020). Her research has been supported by the National Science\nFoundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Fader’s current book\nproject examines the trend of American Orthodox Jews aligning themselves with\na new form of religion on the Christian Right—a public\, political\, racialized\,\nand biblical philosophy\, redefining postwar Judeo-Christianity in the\ncontemporary political landscape. As the founding director of Fordham’s Center\nfor Public Anthropology\, Fader is currently collaborating on the Demystifying\nLanguage Project\, which makes linguistic anthropology a social justice\nresource for public high schools. Fader received her Ph.D. from New York\nUniversity \n** _About the Belin Lecture_**\nSince 1991\, the Frankel Center has hosted an accomplished speaker to present\nthe David W. Belin lecture in American Jewish Affairs. Following the annual\nlecture\, each speaker provides a text version of their talk. This essay is\nthen published in print format and is made available\n(https://www.fulcrum.org/belin?locale=en)**.**  To request a\nspecific year’s lecture book\, please email JudaicStudies@umich.edu. \nOrganized by: U-M Frankel Center for Judaic Studies \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/13395
