Ford - Ann Arbor Jewish Film Festival DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the**State Theater** for the **Ann Arbor Jewish Film\nFestival**! The festival is celebrating its 25th year and this year’s showings\nare sure to amaze and move you. The primary festival runs from**May 3 to May\n13** \, but stay tuned throughout the year for special events! \n**Doors Open at 6:00 pm **\n**Film Starts at 6:30 pm ** \n**Synopsis:** Sapiro v. Ford tells the riveting true story of Aaron Sapiro\, a\nyoung Jewish lawyer who took on one of America’s most powerful men—and most\nnotorious antisemite—Henry Ford. In the 1920s\, as Ford’s anti-Jewish\npublications incited hatred across the nation\, Sapiro filed an unprecedented\nlibel suit\, challenging the limits of hate speech long before such laws\nexisted.\nFrom his humble beginnings as an orphan in San Francisco to leading a\nnationwide movement empowering farmers\, Sapiro’s life was a testament to\ncourage\, vision\, and justice. Portrayed by actor Ben Shenkman\, Sapiro’s words\nare presented in their entirety\, filmed as if speaking directly to a modern\naudience. At the same time\, historical experts illuminate the stakes of his\nconfrontation with Ford.\nIn a David-versus-Goliath showdown\, Sapiro forced the industrial titan to back\ndown\, issue an apology\, and shutter his hate-filled newspaper\, leaving a\nlegacy that resonates today. As antisemitism rises and the struggle to balance\nfree speech with protection against hate continues\, Sapiro v. Ford examines\nthe enduring question: how can societies confront power\, prejudice\, and\npropaganda while upholding justice? \nOrganized by: JCC of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14827 URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/sapiro-v-ford-ann-arbor-jewish-film-festival/ LOCATION:The State Theatre 233 S State St\, Ann Arbor CATEGORIES:Adults,Alc.

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.
