Recovering the Earth: The Goddess Tradition and Eco-Awareness
The Yogavasistha, a 12th century Sanskrit text, extols the creative powers of the goddess. In a series of chapters near the conclusion of this epic work, she generates the five great elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space, showing her student, the sage Vasistha, how to enter into awareness of his own intimacy with cosmic processes. Rather than negating the world, this tradition celebrates the emergence of the body and the world, and suggests that the power of the goddess holds the key to liberation. In this presentation, I will suggest that this segment of the Yogavasistha and other texts such as the Prthivi Sukta constitute the foundation for "nature literature" in India.

Wednesday, March 28 at 4 p.m. - Javits Room, Melville Library
"Operation Solomon" was one of the most remarkable rescue efforts in modern history, in which more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to Israel in little more than a day. Stephen Spector's book offers the definitive account of this incredible story, based on over 200 interviews and exclusive access to confidential documents. Spector describes the tense negotiations among Israelis, Ethiopians, and Americans, which became increasingly urgent as time ran low and the danger mounted. Recounting the full story for the first time, "Operation Solomon" is a stirring account of a heroic rescue achieved in the face of daunting odds. Sponsored by the University Libraries.

15. Safaafir, Iraqi Maqam: Music from Iraq
Safaafir is a name that evokes the ancient art of coppersmithing in Iraq. Soug al-Safaafir, or the coppersmith's market, is a well-known market in Baghdad, memorable for the din of hammers on copper and the glowing beauty of each creation. The sound of the Iraqi Maqam has often been likened to the Soug al-Safaafir for the metallic timbre of the instruments and the percussive hammering of ancient rhythms. Siblings Amir and Dena ElSaffar, come from a family of Safaafir (coppersmiths), and it is from their ancestors' legacy that the name of the ensemble was born.
