Book launch: Green Theology—emerging 21st-Century Muslim and Christian discourses on ecology

Faculty of Divinity, West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9BS. 18.00 – 19.00

It provides a unique intellectual space for international experts in the two theological worlds as well as specialists in science and architecture to discuss the most pressing matters of ecology and care for the earth.

Join authors Nick Posegay and Melonie Schmierer-Lee for a visual journey through over 125 years’ Cambridge Genizah research, complete with surprising tales of coexistence and interaction. Almost 1000 years ago, the Jews of Old Cairo began to place their worn-out books and scrolls into a hidden storage room - a genizah - of their synagogue. Over the years, they added all sorts of writings to the pile, sacred and secular texts alike. When the chamber was emptied at the end of the 19th century, it held hundreds of thousands of paper and parchment fragments. Now known as the “Cairo Genizah” , it has become one of the most important sources of knowledge for the history of the Middle East and the Mediterranean world. This book offers the first illustrated introduction to the unique collection of Cairo Genizah manuscripts at Cambridge University Library. …

Wandering Jew Exhibition Launch

Lecture Theatre B Corridor, Avenue Campus Highfield Road Southampton SO17 1BF. 18.00 – 19.00
The Parkes Institute is delighted to host the launch of 'The Wandering Jew’ travelling exhibition, curated by Anoushka Alexander-Rose, with the support of Charlie Knight. Reframing the Wandering Jew from its origins in medieval Christian myth, this exhibition presents how the legend evolves across time and cultures. It draws on an expansive set of sources including Romantic and Gothic literature, Yiddish drama, Jewish visual art, Rabbinic sermons, Nazi and anti-Nazi film, and 21st century regenderings of the myth. A particular highlight is a specially commissioned print, ‘Flight’, by artist and sculptor David Hochhauser. These diverse forms and genres reflect the relevance of the Wandering Jew, both representing Jewish exilic experience but more widely universal themes of myth, migration and memory.

Come along to the Southampton launch of this exhibition before, much like the Wandering Jew, it travels across the UK. The curator will introduce the project and give a reading of the first translation of ‘Agasfer’ by Vladimir Nabokov, after which attendees are invited to explore the exhibition along with refreshments.

. 16.00 – 16.45
Please join us for the Zoom launch of “Interfaith Work and Interfaith Families: A Toolkit.”
This will be an opportunity to bring together interfaith organisations, interfaith families, multiple religious practitioners, and academics working in this field. The goal is to provide tools, and connections, to work more closely together in the future.

This project grew out of personal experience. Both of the authors have built professions inspired by our interfaith families and identities. Susan covers interfaith families as a journalist and author. Dalia is an academic, studying interfaith families in her PhD research.

We created the Toolkit with these goals:
- To share what we have learned through full-time relationships across religious boundaries in our families–and/or through embodying more than one set of religious practices or ancestries.

- To provide interfaith organisations with tools and encouragement to engage with interfaith families & practitioners, and highlight successful examples of this engagement.

- To begin a conversation on how interfaith family members, interfaith organisations, and interfaith academic researchers can benefit from working together more closely.…
