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.

Panelists will analyze how Jewish newspapers and journals\nbecame vital platforms for political\, literary\, and cultural engagement. The\ndiscussion will highlight dramatic shifts in journalistic practices\, including\nevolving editorial strategies\, reporting methods\, and technological\ninnovations in format and distribution and the transnational and transcultural\nelements that come to the fore during that time. Panelists will also examine\nthe economic pressures and opportunities that shaped the Jewish press\, and\nconsider the influence and role of Jews as journalists within the broader\nmedia landscape. \n**Gilad Halpern** \, journalist and media historian\, draws on recent doctoral\nresearch on The Palestine Post amid imperial decline and rising nationalism\,\nbridging professional and scholarly perspectives.**Naomi Brenner** explores\nentertainment fiction in the Hebrew and Yiddish press\, focusing on the\naesthetics and politics of the roman-feuilleton as a transnational literary\nform.**Matthew Handelman** investigates the cultural politics of German Jewish\nintellectuals and the primacy of culture in political discourse from the\nWeimar Republic onward. \nCentral to the conversation is the role of Jewish periodicals as spaces for\ncultural expression\, literary experimentation\, and political debate. These\npublications not only documented Jewish life\, but also actively shaped\nidentities\, fostered transnational dialogue\, and provided forums for writers\,\nartists\, and intellectuals grappling with questions of survival and belonging.\nThis roundtable offers timely insights into journalism during a time of\ncrisis\, illuminating enduring questions about Jews and media. \nOrganized by: U-M Frankel Center for Judaic Studies \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/13936 URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/jewish-journalism-in-dark-times/ LOCATION:202 S Thayer St 202 S Thayer St\, Ann Arbor CATEGORIES:Adults,Arts & Culture,College Students,Educational,History,Jewish Learning,Older Adults,Special Guest,Wheelchair Accessible,Young Adults ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/radu-prodan-W14oKLRJpY8-unsplash-BGReXt.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="U-M Frankel Center for Judaic Studies":MAILTO:js-event-coord@umich.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260222T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260222T123000 DTSTAMP:20260520T180046 CREATED:20251025T041613Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260204T170547Z UID:10006020-1771756200-1771763400@www.jewishannarbor.org SUMMARY:Jewish Storytime at the AADL DESCRIPTION:**Join Carmel & Ori for Jewish Story Time**\nThere will be both English and Hebrew sessions but we invite families to join\nfor both!\n * **10:30-11:30:** Jewish story time & Activity\n * **11:30-12:30:** Hebrew Jewish story time & Activity (Hebrew immersion) \nOrganized by: Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/13418 URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/jewish-storytime-at-the-aadl-5/ LOCATION:Ann Arbor District Library: Downtown 343 S 5th Ave\, Ann Arbor CATEGORIES:Children,Educational,English Speaking,Families,Grandparents,Hebrew and Yiddish,Hebrew Speaking,Israel,Jewish Learning,Parking (free),Wheelchair Accessible,Young Children ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Hero_image_jewish_story_time-SrHaic.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor":MAILTO:info@jewishannarbor.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260210T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260210T183000 DTSTAMP:20260520T180046 CREATED:20260204T163607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260204T172710Z UID:10006082-1770742800-1770748200@www.jewishannarbor.org SUMMARY:When Hebrew Met the Machine DESCRIPTION:What happens when an ancient language meets modern technology?
