SUMMARY:Judaism and Gender
DESCRIPTION:Neue jährliche Vorlesung von Buber-Rosenzweig-Institut\, Cornelia Goethe Centrum für Geschlechterforschung und Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem \nFRANKFURT. Es gibt ein neues Vorlesungsformat an der Goethe-Universität: Die Bertha-Pappenheim-Lecture wird sich von nun an einmal im Jahr mit dem Themenkomplex ‚Judaism and Gender‘ befassen. Gemeinsam vom Buber-Rosenzweig-Instituts der Goethe-Universität\, dem Cornelia Goethe Centrum für Geschlechterforschung der Goethe-Universität und dem Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem ins Leben gerufen\, fokussiert die Vorlesung auf die Bedeutsamkeit der Geschlechterforschung für die Interpretation der jüdischen Geschichte. Den Auftakt der neuen Reihe macht ein Vortrag von Prof. Elizabeth Loentz (University of Illinois\, Chicago)\, die \nam Dienstag\, 2. Juni\, 18:15 Uhr\nim Casinogebäude\, Raum 1.801\, Campus Westend \nüber „Affect and Emotion in Bertha Pappenheim’s Activism“ sprechen wird (in englischer Sprache). \n„Die Bertha-Pappenheim Lecture soll die Historiographie zur modernen jüdischen Geschichte mit der interdisziplinären Geschlechterforschung an der Goethe-Universität vernetzen. Nun haben wir zusammen mit der Buber-Rosenzweig-Vorlesung zur jüdischen Geistesgeschichte und der Josef-Horovitz-Lecture zu interreligiösen Dynamiken drei unterschiedliche Vorlesungsformate“\, sagt Prof. Christian Wiese\, Direktor des Buber-Rosenzweig-Instituts und einer der Initiatoren. „Bertha Pappenheim hat den Kampf gegen Antisemitismus\, Klassismus und Sexismus\, ihre jüdische Identität und ihr feministisches Engagement nie getrennt voneinander gedacht. Die Bertha-Pappenheim-Lecture steht für eine solche Perspektive: Judentum und Geschlecht aus einer intersektionalen Perspektive zusammendenken“\, so Dr. Johanna Leinius\, wissenschaftliche Geschäftsführerin des Cornelia Goethe Centrums. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDie Vorlesung erinnert an eine bedeutende Gestalt der jüdischen Geschichte Frankfurts und an die Rolle Frankfurts als Ort jüdischer Wohltätigkeitarbeit für junge Frauen: Bertha Pappenheim (1859-1936) war Feministin und Frauenrechtlerin; sie hat den Jüdischen Frauenbund (1904) mitbegründet sowie das Mädchenwohnheim Neu-Isenburg (1907) ins Leben gerufen. \nElizabeth Loentz ist außerordentliche Professorin und stellvertretende Direktorin der School of Literatures\, Cultural Studies and Linguistics an der University of Illinois\, Chicago. Sie forscht zur deutsch-jüdischen Literatur und Kultur vom späten 19. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert\, zum Jiddischen in Deutschland\, zu Transnationalität und Migration in der Literatur sowie zur ersten deutschen Frauenbewegung. Ausgehend von Bertha Pappenheims Wut angesichts der Ungerechtigkeit in der Gesellschaft thematisiert sie die Rolle von Emotionen für die Wirksamkeit von Aktivismus\, oder wie Pappenheim selbst sagt: „Grollender Zorn erfüllt mich! Ich will ihn behalten\, er soll in mir brennen – solange das besteht\, was ihn zu Recht erregt.“ Loentz spricht auch über das\, was es Pappenheim gekostet hat\, diese Wut insbesondere als jüdische Frau auch zu artikulieren. \nFinanziert wird die künftig jährlich stattfindende Veranstaltung durch die beteiligten Partnerinstitutionen sowie in Kooperation mit dem Moses Mendelssohn Zentrum Potsdam und der Wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsgemeinschaft des Leo Baeck Instituts (WAG). Organisatorinnen und Organisatoren in Frankfurt sind der Judaist und Religionswissenschaftler Prof. Christian Wiese sowie die Erziehungswissenschaftlerin Prof. Bettina Kleiner\, die Anglistin Prof. Heidi Lucja Liedtke\, die Germanistin Prof. Dr. Frederike Middelhoff und die Politikwissenschaftlerin Dr. Johanna Leinius (Cornelia Goethe Centrum).\nDie diesjährige Veranstaltung ist Teil der bundesweiten Aktionswoche „Wissenschaft gegen Faschismus – Verantwortung der Wissenschaft in Zeiten faschistischer Gefahr“\, die vom 1.-7. Juni stattfinden wird. \nEine Anmeldung ist nicht notwendig.

SUMMARY:Never Again\, When?: German Memory Culture\, the Holocaust\, and Free Expression
DESCRIPTION:With Irit Dekel and Omri Boehm \n  \n\nThis event is part of LBI’s Forum on Free Speech and Democracy. \nIn a recent article for New German Critique\, sociologist Irit Dekel (Indiana University\, Bloomington) described the phrase “Never Again” as a floating signifier\, “flexible enough to carry different meanings for different audiences while remaining specific enough to galvanize various political actions\, depending on the context and speakers.” In a comprehensive analysis of the use of the phrase in German discourse since October 7\, 2023\, she showed how “Never Again” has been deployed to argue for the singularity of the Holocaust and the need to protect Jews from a feared repetition of the catastrophe. When the same language is invoked to draw universal lessons from the Holocaust\, however\, it can draw both social and legal censure. \nWith philosopher Omri Boehm (The New School)\, Dekel will discuss the origins of the phrase “Never Again” in German history and the ways that Holocaust memory politics impacts free expression in Germany today. \n\n\nAbout the Series: Leo Baeck Institute Forum on Free Speech and Democracy \nMade possible in part by support from the Erna & Heinz Mayer Fund at the LBI \nAs the United States observes its sesquicentennial anniversary\, one of its most cherished political values is also one of its most hotly debated. Is free speech still protected in America? If not\, what poses the greater threat: state repression\, a censorious culture\, or a corporate media environment where free expression belongs to the highest bidder? In a world where hatred quickly metastasizes online – are the people even safe from free speech? \nThe ideas that found expression in the First Amendment and the constitutions of other liberal democracies were shaped and reshaped by Jewish thinkers from Spinoza to Arendt\, enabled processes of Jewish emancipation and religious reform\, and are still seen as undergirding religious freedom in pluralistic societies. \nIn this series\, scholars\, activists\, and public intellectuals will explore these questions through the lens of German-Jewish history\, starting with documents in the LBI collections and mining them for insight into the present. \n\n\nIrit Dekel is an Assistant Professor in Germanic Studies and Jewish Studies at Indiana University Bloomington. Her work focuses on the relations between collective memory\, media and the public sphere\, particularly on Holocaust memorialization and the representation of ethnic and religious difference in contemporary Germany. Dekel’s first book\, Mediation at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (Palgrave\, 2013)\, analyzed how various groups mediate their experience in the Holocaust Memorial. Her second book\, ‘Witnessing Positions: Jews\, Memories and Minorities in Contemporary Germany’ is forthcoming with Indiana University Press in January 2027. Dekel co-edited the Routledge Handbook of Memory Activism (2023). \n\n\nOmri Boehm is Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. He teaches and writes on early modern philosophy and philosophy of religion\, with a specific focus on Descartes\, Spinoza and Kant. His books include The Binding of Isaac: A Religious Model of Disobedience (Continuum\, 2007)\, Kant’s Critique of Spinoza (Oxford University Press\, 2014)\, Haifa Republic: A Democratic Future for Israel (Penguin Random House\, 2021)\, and Radikaler Universalismus: Jenseits von Identität (Propyläen Verlag\, 2023). In addition to his academic publications\, he has also written for outlets including the LA Review of Books and the New York Times.

SUMMARY:»FREMDE HEIMAT« Deutsch-jüdisches Exil gestern und heute
DESCRIPTION:Wir möchten Sie im Namen der Freunde und Förderer des Leo Baeck Instituts herzlich zu unserer Podiumsdiskussion in Kooperation mit dem Podcast »Der zweite Gedanke« (radio3/rbb) mit anschließendem Empfang einladen. \nFreuen Sie sich auf ein anregendes Gespräch über deutsch-jüdisches Exil gestern und heute. Im Zentrum stehen die Kulturgeschichte der jüdischen Emigration sowie universelle Erfahrungen von Entwurzelung\, Isolation und dem Leben zwischen den Stühlen. Vom Topos des Wandernden Juden über die zerstörten Träume einer deutsch-jüdischen Symbiose bis in die gewaltvolle Gegenwart gehen wir der Frage nach\, ob Flucht und Migration Ankommen bedeuten kann – selbst wenn es ein Ankommen in einer fremden Heimat ist. \nDie Diskussionsrunde besteht aus folgenden Teilnehmenden: \n\nDr. Ursula Krechel setzt sich in ihrem literarischen Werk mit den Themen Verfolgung\, Flucht und Exil in Geschichte und Gegenwart auseinander\, so auch in ihrem jüngsten Buch »Vom Herzasthma des Exils«. Der Text appelliert an ein Umdenken und tiefgreifenden Respekt für jene\, die ihre Heimat verlassen (müssen und mussten). 2025 erhielt sie den Georg-Büchner-Preis.\nProf. Dr. Michael Brenner ist der Internationale Präsident des Leo Baeck Instituts. Er forscht und publiziert zu Themen deutsch-jüdischer Geschichte und Kultur\, zuletzt in seinem Buch »Der lange Schatten der Revolution«. Michael Brenner ist Professor an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München und an der American University in Washington D.C.\nDr. Sebastian Schirrmeister ist Literaturwissenschaftler. Er forscht u.a. zur deutschsprachigen Exilliteratur\, zu deutsch-hebräischen Literaturbeziehungen und zu deutsch-jüdischen Archiven. Er ist der Autor von »Das Gastspiel« (2012) und »Begegnung auf fremder Erde« (2019) sowie zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Aufsätze.\nModeration: Natascha Freundel ist Journalistin mit einem Schwerpunkt auf deutsch-jüdischer Geschichte. Sie ist Redakteurin und Moderatorin der Podcast- und Radiodebatte »Der zweite Gedanke« von radio3 im rbb.\n\n  \nWir freuen uns über ein Grußwort von Frau Julia Friedrich\, Sammlungs- und Ausstellungsdirektorin des Jüdischen Museum Berlin. \nProgramm\n\nab 18:30 Uhr: Einlass\n19 Uhr: Programmbeginn: Begrüßung + Podiumsdiskussion zum Veranstaltungsthema\nab 20:30 Uhr: Empfang\n\n  \nDie Veranstaltung findet in Kooperation mit radio3 statt\, wo der Mitschnitt am 11. Juni 2026 um 19:03 Uhr sowie am 13. Juni 2026 um 13:03 Uhr und im Podcast »Der zweite Gedanke« (u.a. in der ARD Sounds App) zu hören sein wird. \nEinlass nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung.

SUMMARY:Erinnerung\, Zeugenschaft\, Zukunft
DESCRIPTION:30 Jahre Austrian Heritage Collection \n\nThe Austrian Heritage Collection (AHC) is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Established through the collaboration of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism\, the Austrian Cultural Forum New York (ACFNY)\, the GEDENKDIENST association\, and the Leo Baeck Institute New York\, Austrian volunteers have been traveling to New York every year since 1996. Since then\, the AHC has pursued the goal of documenting the history of Austrian-Jewish emigrants who fled to North America during the years of Nazi rule over Europe. \nThirty years after its founding\, 57 different Gedenkdienst volunteers have conducted more than 1\,000 oral history interviews. More than 4\,000 questionnaires have been returned\, and numerous contemporary documents have been collected. The voices of many people who for a long time—particularly in their country of origin\, Austria—found little or no public recognition have reached a wider audience through this project. Their stories are also carried forward by the volunteers serving in the Gedenkdienst program. \nWith the passing of the last emigrants and survivors—what is often referred to as the “end of the era of eyewitnesses”—the AHC is facing a new challenge. Since 2025\, it has already become the reality for Gedenkdienst volunteers to interview primarily the children\, nephews\, and nieces of survivors and emigrants—the so-called second generation. While this will significantly and sustainably change the project in the future\, these individuals also bring new perspectives. For this reason\, the 30th anniversary of the Austrian Heritage Collection is not only a moment for celebration\, but also a time for reflection. \nNina Glueckselig\, Leonie Eidinger\, and Beatrice Segal: their parents had fled from Austria and found a new home in the United States and Canada. These three members of the second generation tell the stories of their parents and relatives. They speak about their own histories\, reflect on the significance of bearing witness\, discuss the role of the second generation\, and consider the future of the Austrian Heritage Collection. \nThe event is taking place in cooperation with the Austrian Cultural Forum New York (ACFNY). \nAbout the Speakers \n\n\nNina Glueckselig – born in 1956 in Washington Heights\, New York\, is a retired nurse\, social worker\, and jewelry designer who researched the experiences of children of Holocaust survivors for her thesis. \nHer parents\, Leo and Ita Glueckselig\, met while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.

SUMMARY:Heresy\, Witch Hunts\, and Political Persecution
DESCRIPTION:The Problem of Speech from the Enlightenment to the Present \nWith Jason Stanley and Eliyahu Stern. \n  \n\n\n\nPresented by the Leo Baeck Institute as part of the LBI Forum on Free Speech and Democracy \nMade possible in part by support from the Erna & Heinz Mayer Fund at the LBI \nIn 1783 the German philosopher Moses Mendelsohn published his monumental work Jerusalem – Or on Religious Power and Judaism where he laid out his blueprint for Jewish political and religious life. At the very center of Jerusalem was the idea that all human beings should be granted the ability to think and speak without religious coercion or censorship. To prove his point\, Mendelsohn recuperated the legacy of the most infamous and detested heretic on the Continent\, Barukh Spinoza\, the so-called “atheist” and political “libertine.” \nIn this conversation\, the philosopher Jason Stanley (Toronto) and the historian Eliyahu Stern (Yale) will discuss the relevance of Mendelssohn’s and Spinoza’s views on heresy and the freedom of speech to the threats facing American political life and Jewish communities and institutions today. \n\n\nLeo Baeck Institute Forum on Free Speech and Democracy \nMade possible in part by support from the Erna & Heinz Mayer Fund at the LBI \nAs the United States observes its sesquicentennial anniversary\, one of its most cherished political values is also one of its most hotly debated. Is free speech still protected in America? If not\, what poses the greater threat: state repression\, a censorious culture\, or a corporate media environment where free expression belongs to the highest bidder? In a world where hatred quickly metastasizes online – are the people even safe from free speech? \nThe ideas that found expression in the First Amendment and the constitutions of other liberal democracies were shaped and reshaped by Jewish thinkers from Spinoza to Arendt\, enabled processes of Jewish emancipation and religious reform\, and are still seen as undergirding religious freedom in pluralistic societies. \nIn this series\, scholars\, activists\, and public intellectuals will explore these questions through the lens of German-Jewish history\, starting with documents in the LBI collections and mining them for insight into the present. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJason Stanley is a philosopher and the Bissell-Heyd-Associates Chair in American Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. He is the author of seven books\, including How Propaganda Works (2015)\, the New York Times-bestselling How Fascism Works (2018)\, and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future (2024). His books have been translated into more than 25 languages. \nBefore moving to the Munk School in 2025\, Stanley was the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University (2013–2025). He has also taught at Rutgers University (2004–2013)\, the University of Michigan (2000-2004)\, and Cornell University (1995-2000). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEliyahu Stern is Professor of Modern Jewish Intellectual and Cultural History in the Departments of Religious Studies and History at Yale University. Previously\, he was Junior William Golding Fellow in the Humanities at Brasenose College and the Oriental Institute\, University of Oxford. He is the author of the award-winning\, The Genius: Elijah of Vilna and the Making of Modern Judaism (2012). His second monograph Jewish Materialism: The Intellectual Revolution of the 1870s (2018) details the ideological background to Jews’ involvement in Zionism\, Capitalism\, and Communism. He has served as a term member on the Council on Foreign Relations and a consultant to the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw\, Poland. Currently\, he is a member of the Academic Advisory Board of the Center of Jewish History.

SUMMARY:From Pamphleteers to Podcasts
DESCRIPTION:How Evolving Media Environments Can Fuel Antisemitism and Authoritarianism\, and What to Do About It \n\nPresented by the Leo Baeck Institute as part of the LBI Forum on Free Speech and Democracy \nMade possible in part by support from the Erna & Heinz Mayer Fund at the LBI \nEach advance in media technology can serve both constructive and destructive purposes. When the printing press was invented in the fifteenth century\, it helped disseminate the anti-Jewish blood libel and sear the image of a „dangerous“ Jew in European Christian imagination. Later\, modern newsprint and radio were quickly adopted by antisemites and white supremacists. Today\, in the midst of another media revolution\, extremism spreads rapidly online through social media and podcasts. This event will ask what role antisemitism and conspiracy theories have historically played in challenging democracies and undergirding authoritarianism. How does the structure of online platforms amplify extremists and create financial incentives for hate? And what should we do about it? \nDavid Brody\, the Executive Director of the Alliance of Jewish Americans and a legal expert on extremism and online civil rights\, will engage these questions with Magda Teter\, the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University\, whose work on the blood-libel in early-modern Europe shows surprising resonances with more recent revolutions in communications technology. \n\n\nDavid Brody is the Executive Director and founder of the Alliance of Jewish Americans\, a nonprofit\, nonpartisan Jewish civil rights organization that confronts extremism and drives legal accountability in the U.S. He is a leading national expert on the intersections of white nationalism\, surveillance technologies\, and civil rights. Previously he was the director and founder of the Digital Justice Initiative at the Lawyers‘ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law\, where he advocated for policies to protect privacy and civil rights online and litigated against white supremacists and voter suppression efforts. \nMagda Teter is Professor of History and the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of several award-winning books\, most recently\, Blood Libel: On the Trail of An Antisemitic Myth (2020)\, Christian Supremacy: Reckoning with the Roots of Antisemitism and Racism (2023)\, Blood Libels\, Hostile Archives: Reclaiming Interrupted Jewish Lives (2025). Her essays have also appeared in the New York Review of Books\, Public Seminar\, the JTA\, and others. Teter’s research has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, HF Guggenheim Foundation\, the Cullman Center at the NYPL\, the NEH\, and the Center for Jewish History\, among others. She is currently the President of the American Academy of Jewish Research.

SUMMARY:LBI Film Club - Fanny: The Other Mendelssohn
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Baeck Institute London would like to invite you to another free online screening from the LBI Film Club\, starting on Thursday 25 June 2026. We hope all the film lovers among you will continue to enjoy our selection of thought-provoking films exploring the rich\, diverse and multi-faceted Jewish experience. \nStep into the extraordinary and long-overshadowed story of Fanny Mendelssohn (1805–1847)\, a brilliant German-Jewish composer and pianist whose musical genius was overshadowed and sidelined by the rigid patriarchal structures of 19th-century Europe and the protective boundaries of her own family. \nThrough rigorous historical research and with stunning musical performances\, the film\, directed by the Fanny’s great great great granddaughter Sheila Hayman\, uncovers Fanny’s true authorship of the Easter Sonata\, a lost piano masterpiece that had been misattributed to her famous younger brother\, Felix Mendelssohn\, for over a century. \nThe documentary traces Fanny’s life from her childhood in a highly cultured German-Jewish household in Berlin to her quiet perseverance as a composer of over 450 works. It explores the deep but complex sibling relationship between Fanny and Felix\, revealing how social conventions forced her to publish some of her finest Lieder under her brother’s name. Guided by virtuoso pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason\, who brings the Easter Sonata vibrantly to life\, the film weaves poignant parallels between Fanny’s historic struggles and the challenges faced by women and pioneers in the classical music industry today. \nMore than a music biography\, Fanny: The Other Mendelssohn invites viewers to reflect on the historical erasure of women in the arts\, the complexities of cultural assimilation\, and the enduring resilience of creative genius. It offers a joyous\, engaging\, and timely look at a composer who is finally reclaiming her rightful place in musical history. \n  \nDirected by: Sheila Hayman (click here for an interview with the director) \nProduced by: Sheila Hayman (Mercury Studios Media Ltd / Dartmouth Films) \nScreenplay by: Sheila Hayman \nFeaturing: Isata Kanneh-Mason\, Sheku Kanneh-Mason\, Chi-Chi Nwanoku\, Anna Beer\, and Dr. Angela R. Mace \nEditing by: Evelyn Franks \nCamera by: Hannah Engelson\, Lynda Hall\, Benedict Mirow\, and Beatrice Ní Bhroin \nDocumentary | 96 minutes | English | United Kingdom\, 2023 \n  \nThe film will be available to view free of charge for one week\, from 25 June to 2 July 2026 \nWe wish to thank Sheila Hayman for her support in making this screening possible. \n  \nFurther LBI Film Club screenings will be announced via our website and social media channels. \nEnjoy the film!
