SUMMARY:5th Annual Padnos Public Engagement Lecture on Jewish Learning: How Women Changed American Religion
DESCRIPTION:How Women Changed American Religion: A Jewish Perspective\n\n\n5th Annual Padnos Public Engagement Lecture on Jewish Learning\nGuest Speaker: Karla Goldman (University of Michigan) \n\n\nThe 2025 Padnos Lecture\, delivered by Professor Karla Goldman (University of Michigan) explores how American Judaism has been shaped by general societal expectations for women’s religious behavior and by new active roles Jewish women took on within their religious institutions. Major changes that took place included the restructuring of synagogue architecture with the removal of the women’s gallery\, the redefinition of community through women’s volunteerism\, and the introduction of women’s religious leadership\, which also challenged conventional theology. Historically and today\, American Judaism — in dialogue with American society and other models of religious practice — has constantly evolved and transformed in an effort to match the ever-moving target of gendered expectations for religious behavior and practice. \nDr. Goldman’s research focuses on the history of the American Jewish experience with special attention to the history of American Jewish communities and the evolving roles and contributions of American Jewish women. She directs the University of Michigan Jewish Communal Leadership Program\, a collaborative effort between the School of Social Work and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.\n\nRSVP here to attend: http://gvsu.edu/interfaith/padnos2025

SUMMARY:Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Lecture: “Remnants of a Mighty Nation”: Jews Through the Eyes of American Christians
DESCRIPTION:Julian Levinson\, Samuel Shetzer Professor of American Jewish Studies\, University of Michigan \n \nThe Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation has provided a gift to the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to establish the Padnos Engagement on Jewish Learning fund. The initiative\, which commenced last year\, will facilitate annual public educational activities in Jewish Studies throughout the State of Michigan with a focus on the western part of the state. \nThe Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Event\, to take place on November 1 at 7 pm\, will feature Dr. Julian Levinson\, Samuel Shetzer Professor of American Jewish Studies\, University of Michigan. Dr. Levinson will present a lecture called “’Remnants of a Mighty Nation’: Jews Through the Eyes of American Christians” at the Loosemore Auditorium at the Richard M. Devos Center on Grand Valley State University’s Campus. The event will also be virtually simulcast via Zoom. Immediately following the lecture at approximately 8:30 there will be a light reception in the adjacent Lubbers Exhibition Hall. \nDr. Levinson prefaces his discussion: “What is it like to belong to a religious minority? For Jews in the United States\, there have been countless challenges as well as unexpected benefits from living among a Christian majority. While some individual Christians have been highly critical of Jews for their beliefs and practices\, others have been deeply respectful of Jews for being the original “chosen people\,” for preserving the Hebrew language\, and for maintaining traditions going back to the Bible. This talk will focus on the ways Jews were perceived in nineteenth-century America\, when the origins of present-day Christian-Jewish relations were established. It will trace the formation of views that are still prevalent today\, including the evangelical fascination with Israel. It will also consider how Jews have shaped their own identities in relation to the broader Christian environment.” \nThis is a hybrid lecture.\nLoosemore Auditorium\, DeVos Center\, Grand Valley State University\nZoom Registration: https://myumi.ch/DJN9M

SUMMARY:Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Lecture: “When Patronage was ‘Matronage’: How Jewish Women’s Money Supported the Early Jesus Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shayna Sheinfeld\n\n\n\n\nThe Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation has provided a gift to the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to establish the Padnos Engagement on Jewish Learning fund. The initiative\, which commenced last year\, will facilitate annual public educational activities in Jewish Studies throughout the State of Michigan with a focus on the western part of the state. \nThe Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Event\, to take place on November 17 at 7 pm\, will feature Dr. Shayna Sheinfeld\, Frankel Institute Fellow\, University of Michigan\, and Honorary Research Fellow\, Sheffield Institute for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies (SIIBS). Dr. Sheinfeld will present a lecture called “When Patronage was ‘Matronage’: How Jewish Women’s Money Supported the Early Jesus Movement” at the Loosemore Auditorium at the Richard M. Devos Center on Grand Valley State University’s Campus. The event will also be virtually simulcast. Immediately following the lecture at approximately 8:30 there will be a light reception in the adjacent Lubbers Exhibition Hall. \nDr. Sheinfeld prefaces her discussion: “From the beginning of his ministry\, women were followers of Jesus. While his followers came from every strata of life\, women were essential for the financial and social support that this early Jewish movement saw. The Gospel of Mark mentions Mary Magdalene and Salome who provided for Jesus; Luke talks about Martha who hosts Jesus and his disciples in her home; in Acts\, Lydia welcomes the apostle Paul and his cohort to her home where they stay while in Thyatira. These women were not unusual\, however\, in their active financial and social support of causes they were committed to. This talk will explore and contextualize these women among other Jewish women as possessors of capital and as active actors in the social\, political\, and religious world in which they lived.” \n\n\n\nEmail js-event-coord@umich.edu for livestream link.
