SUMMARY:“Modern Responsa: An Anthology of Jewish Ethical and Ritual Decisions” with Pamela Barmash\, moderated by Adriaan Lanni
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk by Pamela Barmash on her new book (JPS 2024) \nAn original anthology of modern responsa (Jewish ethical and ritual decision-making) by rabbinic authorities\, men and women\, across movements (Conservative\, Orthodox\, Reform)\, geographic locales\, and ethnicities (Ashkenazic\, Sefardic\, Mizraḥi)\, Modern Responsa engages readers in understanding how rabbis expert in Jewish law apply principles\, precedents\, and rules from Judaism’s legal tradition to real-life issues. \nResponsa on ten topics—personal and business ethics\, ritual\, personal status\, women\, LGBTQIA+ people\, medical ethics\, the COVID-19 pandemic\, relationships with the other\, the modern State of Israel\, and Jewish life in the United States—showcase how the rabbinic decisors who wrote them handle modern quandaries for their communities. (To see all of the questions\, access the Table of Contents under the Excerpt & Resources tab.) Pamela Barmash’s translations open up most of these original Hebrew texts to English-speaking readers for the first time. Sometimes the decisors disagree—but other times they rule similarly\, despite differing ideological commitments. Clear explanations of how the decisors build their arguments along with historical background\, decisor biographies\, implications\, and a glossary enable general adult and teen readers as well as scholars to grasp the finer points of Jewish ethical and ritual decision-making. An online study guide\, available under the Excerpt & Resources tab\, facilitates teaching this vital material. \nUltimately\, Modern Responsa illuminates the dynamic nature of Jewish law\, the creativity of Jewish legal writings\, and the multidimensionality of the Jewish experience in modernity. \nPraise\n“An exemplary achievement—an original\, sophisticated\, topical\, and accessible contribution to the field of Jewish law in general and the responsa literature in particular.”—Rabbi David Ellenson\, chancellor emeritus\, Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion\n“The brilliance of Modern Responsa’s idea and structure is matched only by the author’s skill in executing it. Barmash enables readers to experience the range of Jewish approaches to profound moral questions—and our tradition’s ability to respond to changing circumstances.”—Rabbi Jan Uhrbach\, associate editor of Siddur Lev Shalem for Shabbat and Festivals\n“A splendid book by a master educator offering broad\, brilliant insight into Jewish society and different types of Jewish legal thinking.”—Marc Zvi Brettler\, Bernice and Morton Lerner Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies\, Duke University \n  \n \n  \nPamela Barmash\, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Biblical Hebrew\, Washington University \nModerated by Adriaan Lanni\, Touroff-Glueck Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School

SUMMARY:“Colonial Bureaucracy and Contemporary Citizenship” with Yael Berda moderated by Mark Tushnet
DESCRIPTION:Yael Berda\, Associate Professor\, Sociology & Anthropology\, Hebrew University\nModerated by Mark Tushnet\, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law\, Emeritus\, Harvard Law School\nColonial Bureaucracy and Contemporary Citizenship examines how the legacies of colonial bureaucracy continue to shape political life after empire. Focusing on the former British colonies of India\, Cyprus\, and Israel/Palestine\, the book explores how post-colonial states use their inherited administrative legacies to classify and distinguish between loyal and suspicious subjects and manage the movement of populations\, thus shaping the practical meaning of citizenship and belonging within their new boundaries. The book offers a novel institutional theory of ‘hybrid bureaucracy’ to explain how racialized bureaucratic practices were used by powerful administrators in state organizations to shape the making of political identity and belonging in the new states. Combining sociology and anthropology of the state with the study of institutions\, this book offers new knowledge to overturn conventional understandings of bureaucracy\, demonstrating that routine bureaucratic practices and persistent colonial logics continue to shape unequal political status to this day.
