SUMMARY:Webinar | One System\, Twice the Archive: Modernizing DAM and Collections Management at the Magnes
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Terentia. \nJoin the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life’s Collections Team for a webinar with Terentia to share how staff unified collections and digital asset management. And in the process\, built something bigger: a public portal delivering a once-impossible level of access. \nWednesday\, September 16\, 2026\n10:00 – 11:00 am PST\nvia Zoom \nRegister\n  \nPicture a records search that takes twenty minutes and still might come up empty. That was daily life for the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at the University of California\, Berkeley. Its team of eight relied on a legacy CMS requiring VPN access to servers overseas\, just to pull a single record. \nThis setup wasn’t just slow. It limited what the team could take on—a reality many GLAMP institutions know too well. \nThen came the real test: a chance to acquire the Roman Vishniac Archive. At 30\,000 objects\, it would double their collections. Taking it on without adding staff meant modernizing\, fast. \nHear the business case they made\, the choices they faced\, and what changed after go-live.

SUMMARY:2026 Mensch Award: Honoring Seymour and Rebecca Fromer
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Mensch Award has been granted posthumously to the founders of the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life\, Seymour and Rebecca Fromer. Join Steven Geiger of the Mensch International  Foundation and anthropologist\, author\, and award-winning filmmaker Mira Z. Amiras\, the Fromer’s daughter\, to reflect on their contributions to Jewish education and a more tolerant society. \n\nSunday\, October 4\, 2026 | 1:00 – 2:00 pm\nIn person at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life\, 2121 Allston Way\, Berkeley\, CA \n\n\nRSVP\n  \nIf you have any questions about accessibility or require accommodations to participate in this event\, please contact us at dalter@berkeley.edu or call us at (510) 643-2526 with as much advance notice as possible. \nProgram is subject to change. \n\n\n  \nAbout the Fromers\nThe Magnes was founded by Seymour and Rebecca Fromer over 60 years ago\, a truly inspired and imaginative couple. In response to what they saw as California and the world’s need to learn more about its proud Jewish heritage\, the Fromers dared to answer the call and\, in turn\, started a movement of cultural preservation by creating the first independent Jewish museum in the United States after the Holocaust. As the museum grew\, Seymour Fromer (1922-2009)\, an internationally known Jewish educator\, and Rebecca Camhi Fromer (1927-2012)\, a gifted author of exceptional breadth\, nurtured many young Jewish scholars and artists and were a key catalyst in the Jewish cultural renaissance in the Bay Area. Reflecting the guiding concerns of American Jewry after the Holocaust\, they focused the Magnes on preserving the legacy of vanishing communities around the world and expanding the canon of Jewish cultural history\, integrating visual\, musical and material cultures. \nAbout the speakers \nMira Z. Amiras is an anthropologist\, author\, and award-winning filmmaker. She was raised on her mother’s accounts of the Inquisition and Holocaust\, her father’s tales of the creation and beauty of the universe\, and her grandparents’ foods\, folklore and music of ancient Sefarad. Mira has lived\, studied\, and traveled throughout the Middle East and North Africa\, camped out 7\,000 miles through Africa\, and traveled overland from her home in Brussels to the Nepalese border. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley and is Professor Emerita of Comparative Religion and Middle East Studies at San Jose State University. She is author of Development and Disenchantment in Rural Tunisia (1992)\, and other works on North Africa and Jewish Studies. For more see the links below. Mira is past president of the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness\, and was a member of the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association. She lives in San Francisco with her family. \nSteven Geiger is the founder and director of the Mensch International Foundation. Steve was born in Budapest\, a child of Holocaust Survivors\, and first met the Fromers in 1971. \nAbout the Mensch International Foundation\nThe Mensch Foundation was founded by Steven Geiger in 2002\, in his words\, “to develop an educational curriculum to stamp-out stereotyping and anti-Semitic and racist thinking.” The Foundation’s goal is “to develop a tolerant social order of values which respects minority rights and freedom of speech and worship.”

SUMMARY:Seeing Through a Mirror: The 1948 War in the Eyes of the World
DESCRIPTION:Annual Diller Lecture\nPresented by Berkeley’s Center for Jewish Studies. Co-Sponsored by the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life. \nThe 1948 Arab-Israeli War attracted attention from the highest levels of international society\, state governments\, transnational NGOs\, journalism\, and public opinion. Palestine and the emerging state of Israel functioned as both a mirror and a magnifier. Israel’s establishment and the Palestinian Nakba were interpreted through countries’ specific interests\, histories\, and cultures. These events also elicited tremendous passion. Palestine’s mirroring and magnifying effects did not originate in 1948\, but the events of that year drastically augmented them\, and the patterns of global reaction remain with us to this today. \nThursday\, November 5\, 2026 | 5:00-6:30 pm\nat the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life\, 2121 Allston Way\, Berkeley\, CA \nReception and light refreshments: 5:00-5:30pm\nPresentation and Conversation: 5:30-6:30pm \nRSVP\n\n  \nIf you require an accommodation for effective communication (ASL interpreting\, alternative media formats\, etc.) or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in these events\, please contact Jennifer Lipscomb at jlipscomb@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible. \n\nDerek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History and the Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University. Derek previously taught at Indiana University\, the University of Toronto\, and the University of Oxford\, where he was the inaugural holder of the Stanley Lewis Chair in Modern Israel Studies. Derek has published a dozen books\, including Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader (2020) and Zionism: An Emotional State (2023). He is currently writing a book titled The War for Palestine\, 1947-1949: A Global History. Derek is a past president of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and an Honorary Fellow of St. Anne’s College\, Oxford.

Created in the intimate environments of personal studios and workplaces\, these portraits look behind public accolades to reveal a quiet\, private presence. Unfolding in two parts (fall and spring)\, the exhibition presents\, for the first time\, the entirety of Katz’s Pantheon.
