Disorientation as Worship: A Different (Re)view of the Dura-Europos Synagogue
Karen Stern, Professor of History, Brooklyn College
Thursday, March 9, 2023 5:30 pm
Chapel of the Holy Innocents The synagogue discovered in Dura Europos in 1932/1933 shocked archaeologists, scholars of ancient Syria, and students of ancient Jewish history. The interior fac;ade of the assembly hall of the building was preserved to an unprecedented degree, projecting color- ful paintings of stories from the Hebrew Bible, including images of Pharoah's daughter rescuing a baby Moses from a basket in the Nile. Existence of these murals both advanced the efforts of excavators and historians who sought to understand ancient life in Dura and transformed studies of art history more generally, by challenging a longstanding allegation that Jews, historically, were a "people without art." Scholars of past decades have followed suit, continuing to emphasize the paintings from the assembly hall at the expense of other documented findings from the synagogue. This talk, however, takes a different approach. By drawing renewed attention to additional artifacts from the building, including burial deposits, amuletic ceiling tiles, and ancient graffiti, it suggests that there is more to the synagogue than that which initially meets the eye.Sponsored by: Art History and Visual Culture Program; Classical Studies Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program; Middle Eastern Studies Program.
