Talk to reflect on Afro-Asian Jewry in Israel

April 20, 2021

In his talk, “Israel in Black & White: The Centrality of Black Thought for Afro-Asian Jewry in Israel" Roby will reflect on present-day Black cultural production in Israel and look at shifting notions of Blackness and Jewishness among Mizrahi and Ethiopian Israelis.
“Roby is an innovative scholar of social movements. Those familiar with the Israeli Black Panther movement of the 1970s immediately understood that they had taken their inspiration from the Black Panthers in the United States. Roby’s scholarship shows us how much deeper the connections run. I look forward to hearing his analysis of the continued influence of black thought on identity and social movements in Israel today,” says Deborah A. Starr, director of the Jewish Studies Program.

Alumnus Josef Konvitz to give talk on trends in tolerance

March 2, 2021
Historian and Cornell alumnus Josef Konvitz '67 will explore and compare trends in tolerance in France and the United States in a digital talk on March 15 at 5:30 p.m. EST. Registration is required.
Konvitz, a former professor at Michigan State University and diplomat with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, will focus on questions of interfaith relations and public leadership that transcend national borders. While Americans see France as a country with a high level of anti-Semitism, the French are disturbed by the influence of religion on American policy, Konvitz said.

“A majority of the French do not belong to any religion; in the United States, the number of the ‘nones’ is much lower, at 16%. These phenomena have made France more tolerant, as borne out by surveys since 2000, but have had the opposite effect in the United States, contributing to polarization, segregation and extremism,” Konvitz said.
