SUMMARY:YINR - Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies to Bring Dr. Tamara 
 Morsel-Eisenberg via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies (WIJS) at Young Israel
  of New Rochelle is proud to present Dr. Tamara Morsel-Eisenberg on Sunday
 \, December 15\, 2024 @ 10:30 am (ET) on Zoom.  Morsel-Eisenberg will be 
 the third speaker of the 2024-2025 season in the monthly scholarly program
 ming offered by WIJS at YINR.\n\nDr. Morsel-Eisenberg will speak on the to
 pic “Persecution and the Art of Responsa: Halakha in the Louvre.” In a
  gallery of the Louvre\, near the Mona Lisa\, hangs one of the most famous
  pieces of early Renaissance art: Mantegna's "Madonna della Vittoria." Du
 ke Francesco Gonzaga\, who commissioned the painting\, is depicted promine
 ntly. The painting's real sponsor\, however\, is not mentioned anywhere\, 
 nor is his terrible predicament. In this talk\, we will discover the unfor
 tunate Jewish sponsor\, his difficult circumstances\, and how a halakhic t
 ext can provide a response of sorts to the most impossible of situations.\
 n\nDr. Tamara Morsel-Eisenberg is assistant professor of Jewish History at
  New York University's Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies. H
 er research focuses on the intellectual and cultural history of halakha (J
 ewish religious law) in the early modern period. Morsel-Eisenberg's articl
 es have appeared in academic journals\, including the Journal for the Hist
 ory of Ideas\, AJS Review\, and Critical Inquiry\, as well as in more popu
 lar outlets such as Tablet Magazine and Lehrhaus. Prior to her appointment
  at NYU\, she was a junior fellow at Harvard's Society of Fellows. Startin
 g in 2025\, Tamara will be teaching at Tel Aviv University.\n\nAll WIJS pr
