Jewish Journalism in Dark Times
2026-02-24 17:00 - 18:30 | 202 S Thayer St 202 S Thayer St, Ann Arbor
Join us for a roundtable discussion exploring the transformation of Jewish
journalism during the interwar years (1918–1939) and World War II, an era of
profound upheaval. Panelists will analyze how Jewish newspapers and journals
became vital platforms for political, literary, and cultural engagement. The
discussion will highlight dramatic shifts in journalistic practices, including
evolving editorial strategies, reporting methods, and technological
innovations in format and distribution and the transnational and transcultural
elements that come to the fore during that time. Panelists will also examine
the economic pressures and opportunities that shaped the Jewish press, and
consider the influence and role of Jews as journalists within the broader
media landscape.
**Gilad Halpern** , journalist and media historian, draws on recent doctoral
research on The Palestine Post amid imperial decline and rising nationalism,
bridging professional and scholarly perspectives.**Naomi Brenner** explores
entertainment fiction in the Hebrew and Yiddish press, focusing on the
aesthetics and politics of the roman-feuilleton as a transnational literary
form.**Matthew Handelman** investigates the cultural politics of German Jewish
intellectuals and the primacy of culture in political discourse from the
Weimar Republic onward.
Central to the conversation is the role of Jewish periodicals as spaces for
cultural expression, literary experimentation, and political debate. These
publications not only documented Jewish life, but also actively shaped
identities, fostered transnational dialogue, and provided forums for writers,
artists, and intellectuals grappling with questions of survival and belonging.
This roundtable offers timely insights into journalism during a time of
crisis, illuminating enduring questions about Jews and media.

Hasidic Women in the Media
2026-03-17 17:00 - 18:30 | 202 S Thayer St 202 S Thayer St, Ann Arbor
In a compelling lecture performance, author Jessica Roda presents themes from
her groundbreaking book _For Women and Girls Only_ , joined by actress,
writer, and producer Malky Goldman—the book’s remarkable protagonist. The
event offers a nuanced exploration of the representation of Hasidic female
identity in media, on screen, and on stage. Goldman, who was raised in the
ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, shares her deeply
personal journey navigating the arts from within and beyond the boundaries of
her Hasidic upbringing. Through dialogue, multimedia, and live performance,
the evening exposes the tensions between tradition and self-expression,
visibility and erasure, community expectations and artistic freedom. Roda
contextualizes Goldman’s story within broader questions of gender, religion,
and representation, challenging reductive portrayals of Hasidic women in
mainstream media. Goldman’s voice—grounded, creative, and courageous—offers a
powerful counter-narrative, reclaiming agency and complexity for Hasidic
female identities on public stages. The performance invites audiences to
reconsider assumptions and listen to stories often silenced or misunderstood.

36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture
2026-03-26 17:30 - 20:00 | Michigan Union 530 S State St, Ann Arbor
The 36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Ayala Fader on
Thursday, March 26, 2026. Food will be served at the pre-lecture reception,
and Fader will sign books after the lecture. This free, public lecture will
take place in the Pendleton Room of the Michigan Union on Thursday, March 26,
2026. Please RSVP at (https://myumi.ch/15PN8) to let
us know if you plan to attend.
Over the past decade, frum (Orthodox) Jewish women wellness influencers on
social media have become a significant presence. Despite attempts by some
rabbis to silence them, frum influencers in the United States and Israel
continue to share intimate details of their everyday lives online, earning a
living through the promotion of products linked to their platforms. Professor
Fader’s talk examines the seemingly contradictory worlds these influencers
navigate: while claiming new forms of gendered authority, they simultaneously
reinforce traditional Jewish family structures and gender roles.
Drawing inspiration from conservative Christian wellness influencers, frum
influencers create content that asserts Jewish exceptionalism while fostering
unexpected exchanges with conservative Christian women. The lecture will
consider whether frum social media influencers are subtly promoting illiberal
politics through the gendered language of wellness.
**Ayala Fader **is professor of anthropology at Fordham University. She is
the author of the award-winning books, _Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next
Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn_ (Princeton University Press, 2009)
and _Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age_ (Princeton University
Press, 2020). Her research has been supported by the National Science
Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Fader’s current book
project examines the trend of American Orthodox Jews aligning themselves with
a new form of religion on the Christian Right—a public, political, racialized,
and biblical philosophy, redefining postwar Judeo-Christianity in the
contemporary political landscape. As the founding director of Fordham’s Center
for Public Anthropology, Fader is currently collaborating on the Demystifying
Language Project, which makes linguistic anthropology a social justice
resource for public high schools. Fader received her Ph.D. from New York
University

Please join us at the**State Theater** for the **Ann Arbor Jewish Film
Festival**! The festival is celebrating its 25th year and this year’s showings
are sure to amaze and move you. The primary festival runs from**May 3 to May
13** , but stay tuned throughout the year for special events!
**Doors Open at 6:00 pm **
**Film Starts at 6:30 pm **
**Synopsis:** Sapiro v. Ford tells the riveting true story of Aaron Sapiro, a
young Jewish lawyer who took on one of America’s most powerful men—and most
notorious antisemite—Henry Ford. In the 1920s, as Ford’s anti-Jewish
publications incited hatred across the nation, Sapiro filed an unprecedented
libel suit, challenging the limits of hate speech long before such laws
existed.
From his humble beginnings as an orphan in San Francisco to leading a
nationwide movement empowering farmers, Sapiro’s life was a testament to
courage, vision, and justice. Portrayed by actor Ben Shenkman, Sapiro’s words
are presented in their entirety, filmed as if speaking directly to a modern
audience. At the same time, historical experts illuminate the stakes of his
confrontation with Ford.
In a David-versus-Goliath showdown, Sapiro forced the industrial titan to back
down, issue an apology, and shutter his hate-filled newspaper, leaving a
legacy that resonates today. As antisemitism rises and the struggle to balance
free speech with protection against hate continues, Sapiro v. Ford examines
the enduring question: how can societies confront power, prejudice, and
propaganda while upholding justice?
