SUMMARY:The Trial of Adolf Eichmann
DESCRIPTION:American Sephardi Federation presents: \nThe Trial of Adolf Eichmann\nAdapted on stage by David Serero \nInspired by actual events\, this powerful drama takes audiences on a haunting journey through one of the most infamous trials in history\, examining the depths of human evil and the quest for justice.  \nDon’t miss this compelling and thought-provoking theatrical experience as the world premiere of “The Trial of Adolf Eichmann” opens in July 2024 at the Center for Jewish History\, inviting audiences to reflect on the lessons of history and the enduring struggle for justice and reconciliation. \n21 July at 7:00PM EST  \n22 July at 8:00PM EST (Premiere) \n23 July at 3:00PM EST \n25 July at 8:00PM EST  \n@the Center for Jewish History \nSign-up Now!\nTickets: $26-$36 \nFor questions and more details please call 855.688.7277 (ext.1) \nThe play revolves around the trial of Adolf Eichmann\, one of the principal architects of the Holocaust\, who orchestrated the systematic murder of millions of Jews during World War II. Set in Jerusalem in 1961\, the story follows the trial of Eichmann\, a former Nazi officer captured by Israeli agents in Argentina and brought to Israel to face justice. As the courtroom drama unfolds\, audiences are confronted with the moral dilemmas faced by the prosecution\, defense\, and the international community. Eichmann’s unapologetic defense\, which hinges on his claim of “just following orders\,” sparks intense debates about responsibility\, collaboration\, and the nature of evil. The play delves into the legal and ethical complexities of the trial\, exploring how the pursuit of justice can intersect with the need for closure\, healing\, and reconciliation in the aftermath of unspeakable atrocities. David Serero’s masterful writing combines historical accuracy and dramatic tension to create a riveting theatrical experience. “The Trial of Adolf Eichmann” challenges its audience to grapple with profound questions about humanity’s capacity for cruelty and the enduring quest for accountability in the face of unimaginable horror. With a talented ensemble cast\, David Serero’s direction\, and meticulous attention to detail\, this Off-Broadway production promises to be a thought-provoking and emotionally charged exploration of a pivotal historical moment. “The Trial of Adolf Eichmann” is a timely reminder of the importance of remembering the past and seeking justice\, even when the wounds are deep and the scars are still fresh.

SUMMARY:Socrates\, Moses\, and the Long Fight Against Idolatry
DESCRIPTION:The American Sephardi Federation presents: \nSocrates\, Moses\, and the Long Fight Against Idolatry\nJoin us for a fascinating discussion celebrating the launch of Matt Gatton’s new book\, The Shadows of Socrates: The Heresy\, War\, and Treachery Behind the Trial of Socrates. \nSunday\, 14 April at 4:30PM ET \nIn-Person @ the ASF – Center for Jewish History  \nTickets: $15-$500 \nThe trial of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates is widely considered the most famous trial of all time. At age 70\, he was charged with impiety (a religious crime) and corrupting the youth\, but the reasons for these charges were left unexplained\, as the prosecution’s case was not recorded. There’s a reason for this: Socrates triggered the first great battle between philosophy and religion when he launched a searing critique of Athens’ most important and secretive idolatrous cult. Socrates has more in common with Moses\, Maimonides\, and Spinoza than you might ever have imagined. Sometimes the light of true reason must fight in the shadows.

SUMMARY:Why Spinoza Matters Now: Truth and Freedom in America Today
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the American Sephardi Federation and Jewish Lives at Yale University Press: \nJoin us for a lively and timely discussion celebrating the launch of Ian Buruma’s new book\, Spinoza: Freedom’s Messiah. Buruma will be joined on the panel by Steven Nadler\, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein\, & Clémence Boulouque \nSunday\, 31 March at 3:00PM EST \nIn-Person @ the ASF – Center for Jewish History  \nTickets: $15-$500 \n350 years after his death\, the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza remains vitally relevant — especially in this period of deep political division and with the threat to liberal democracy not only in Europe and elsewhere\, but right here at home. Spinoza was the most open and important proponent of democracy\, toleration\, politics free from religious sectarian interference\, and freedom of expression in the early modern period. He was also “cancelled” (Herem) by Amsterdam’s Jewish community. \nSee this New Yorker review\, “Baruch Spinoza and the Art of Thinking in Dangerous Times\,” as well as Buruma’s latest\, “The 17th-Century Heretic We Could Really Use Now\,” in The New York Times \n \nBard College Professor Ian Buruma\, author of Spinoza: Freedom’s Messiah (Jewish Lives – Yale University Press) \n \nModerator\, Columbia University Professor Clémence Boulouque\, author of Another Modernity: Elia Benamozegh’s Jewish Universalism (Stanford University Press) \n \nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Steven Nadler\, author of Spinoza: A Life (Cambridge University Press) and Menasseh ben Israel: Rabbi of Amsterdam (Jewish Lives – Yale University Press) \n \nDr. Rebecca Newberger Goldstein\, author of Betraying Spinoza: The Renegade Jew Who Gave Us Modernity (Jewish Encounters Series)

SUMMARY:Exclusive Authors Series with Anne Albert
DESCRIPTION:ASF’s Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nExclusive Authors Series with Anne Albert\nJoin us for another episode of Exclusive Authors Series where Anne Albert discusses her book “Jewish Politics in Spinoza’s Amsterdam.” \nThursday\, 8 June at 12:00 PM EDT \n(Complimentary RSVP) \nAbout the book: \nThis book untangles a web of ideas about politics\, religion\, exile\, and community that emerged at a key moment in Jewish history and left a lasting mark on Jewish ideas. In the shadow of their former member Baruch Spinoza’s notoriety\, and amid the aftermath of the Sabbatian messianic movement\, the Spanish and Portuguese Jews of seventeenth-century Amsterdam underwent a conceptual shift that led them to treat their self-governed diaspora community as a commonwealth. Preoccupied by the question of why and how Jews should rule themselves in the absence of a biblical or messianic sovereign state or king\, they forged a creative synthesis of insights from early modern Christian politics and Jewish law and traditions to assess and argue over their formidable communal government. In so doing they shaped a proud new theopolitical self-understanding of their community as analogous to a Christian state. \nAbout the author: \nAnne Oravetz Albert is the Klatt Family Director for Public Programs at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. \nClick here or more about the book.

SUMMARY:From Constantine to Jerusalem - The Journey of Algerian Rabbi Eliahou Allouche
DESCRIPTION:ASF’s Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nFrom Constantine to Jerusalem – The Journey of Algerian Rabbi Eliahou Allouche\nAlgerian Judaism is distinguished by three main traits: authenticity\, diversity\, singularity. These traits are engendered in the complexity of the history of Jews of Algeria\, a side that remains hidden and understudied because of the impact of the colonial period which summarizes the Jewish presence of 2000 years. \nThat’s why it’s important to shed more light on an important figure\, Rabbi Eliahou Allouche whose named in Arabic is “Sidi el Bahi\,” from the nineteenth-century. His exceptional career shows us how the Algerian Rabbi faced the challenges of modernity\, posed by French colonialism and the Crémieux decree. \nWednesday\, 31 May at 12:00 PM EDT \n(Complimentary RSVP)
