This weeks' Scholars' Convocation, The Book of Blessings: A Feminist Approach to Jewish Prayer , will be presented Thursday, October 3, at 11:00 a.m. in Herrick Chapel by Marcia Falk. Dr. Falk, who is on campus as this year's Gates Lecturer, is one of Judaism's foremost poets, translators, and scholars. Her ground-breaking work in the literature of spiritual ity, The Book of Blessings, has just been published to great acclaim. Author, Cynthia Ozick, has said that it is "as beautiful as it is innovative, and it is innovative in the sweetest, most nourishing sense." Judith Plaskow claims that "Falk's rare poetic, spiritual, and intellectual gifts ensure that this long-awaited volume of feminist prayer will remain an enduring treasure, expanding the vocabulary of Jewish liturgy and awakening and deepening awareness of the holy in every aspect of life." One of Dr. Falk's other books, The Song of Songs: A New Translation and Interpretation , has been praised by Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer as "an exceptional poetic job" and by poet, Adrienne Rich, as "one of the great classics of the art of translation."
In her Scholars' Convocation, Dr. Falk will consider such questions as whether Jewish prayer meets our spiritual needs of today, how gender, power, and authority are reflected in the language of the liturgy and in Jewish talk about God, and how, as women and men creating inclusive communities, we can reclaim a tradition that excludes some of us.
Marcia Falk received a B.A. in philosophy from Brandeis University and a Ph.D. in English and comparative literature from Stanford. She was a Fulbright Scholar and post-doctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she studied Bible and Hebrew literature. A university professor for many years, she now lectures widely. She is currently at work on further volumes of blessings for the major and minor festivals, the High Holidays, the Passover Haggadah, and the ordinary and extraordinary events of the life cycle.
Gates Lecture by Marcia Falk
This year's Gates Lecturer, Marcia Falk, will speak on the topic Spirituality and Sensuality in the Voices of Jewish Women on Wednesday evening, October 2, at 8:00 p.m. in Herrick Chapel. In her talk, Dr. Falk will read and discuss sensual, lyrical love poetry from The Song of Songs, the only book of the Bible in which women speak the majority of the lines. She will juxtapose this ancient text with readings of her translations of modern Jewish women poets writing in Hebrew and Yiddish. Her purpose is to raise the question of whether there is a female voice in Jewish literary tradition and, if so, how it contributes to our understanding of spirituality.

Lynne Sadlek '85, an artist living in New York City, will be on campus October 4-5 to deliver a SQC alumni lecture and to meet with students about working as an artist.
·On Friday, Oct. 4, she will present an illustrated lecture on ways in which music and the visual arts act as structural models that help to order visions of reality. She argues that we in the late 20th century are currently undergoing as radical a shift in perspective as that which took place during the Renaissance. The lecture is at 4:15 p.m. in Fine Arts 104.
·On Saturday, October 5, from 2:30 - 4:00 p.m., she will be in the Forum Coffeehouse to answer questions and discuss the value of cross-disciplinary study, surviving as an artist, treading the line between creative work and livelihood, first jobs after Grinnell, the pros and cons of grad school and student loans, and navigating the New York art scene.
A prize-winning music major at Grinnell, Lynne Sadlek holds a B.F.A. in painting and drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a M.F.A. in studio art from the University of Texas, San Antonio. She recently migrated from a position as program director at the Laredo Children's Museum to New York City, where her current day job is with an investment banking firm.

Grinnell science students are encouraged to present the results of their summer research projects at one of
two symposia scheduled for the weekend of November 8-10. These symposia are sponsored by the Pew Midstates Science and Mathematics Consortium, of which Grinnell College is a member. The Symposium for the Biology and Psychology Departments will be held at the University of Chicago. Preregistration, housing and abstract forms can be picked up from Valerie McKee in the Science Division Office. Housing and preregistration forms are due back to the Division Office by September 30. Abstract forms must be returned to the office by October 16. The Symposium for the Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Physics Departments will be held at Washington University. Ms. McKee has forms for this meeting too. Housing, preregistration and abstract forms are due October 16. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Sullivan (Pew Institutional Representative) in the Department of Biology (E-mail SULLIVAC), your advisor, or Ms. McKee.
As a prelude to next week's Capstone Symposium, the symposium commit tee presents a video of the opera Nixon in China this Sunday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. in ARH 302. Composer John Adams's sometimes-raucous, sometimes-lyrical musical score brings to life director Peter Sellars' picture-perfect restagings of scenes from Nixon's historic visit to China in February, 1972. We see the landing of Nixon's plane, "The Spirit of '76," the handshake with Chou En-lai, the photo session with Mao, the banquets and toasts, Pat Nixon's visits to a pig farm and an acupuncture clinic, and Madame Mao's staging of her revolutionary ballet, The Red Detachment of Women . The ballet turns surreal when Henry Kissinger emerges as the lecherous landowner and the Nixon's get mixed up in the action. The poetic final scene explores the late-night thoughts of historical figures acting out their roles in an
epochal event. The libretto by Alice Goodman refuses to take a position on Nixon's morality as President. Instead it dwells on the poetry of diplomacy.
The 1987 premier of Nixon in China established Adams's reputation as one of the most compelling musical voices of our time. Recent premieres of the pop-song-inspired I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky and the powerful Violin Concerto which earned Adams the prestigious Grawemeyer Award continue to testify to the range and vitality of his work.
Adams is one of 6 major scholars and innovators coming to campus next week to participate in the Sesquicentennial Capstone Symposium. He will speak about Music, Modernism, and the Millenium at 8 p.m. in Herrick Chapel on Friday, October 11. The event will include a performance of Adams's Phrygian Gates , with music department faculty member Eugene Gaub on piano.
Presented in ARH 302, Friday/Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m. (Australia/Canada/Austria, 1991), Color/100 minutes. Directed by Bruce Beresford. Screenplay by Brian Moore.
Based on letters and journals written by Jesuit missionaries, whom the Indians dubbed "black robes," the story takes place in the New World during the 17th century. It revolves around Father Laforgue (Lothaire Bluteau) who is sent by Champlain (Jean Brousseau), the founder and governor of Québec, to a frontier Jesuit mission to assist in the conver sion of the Huron tribe to Catholicism in 1634. Guided and protected by the Algonquin leader Chomina (August Schellenberg), his family and his tribe, the priest and a young French settler (Aden Young) journey through the Canadian wildness and experience the Indian way of living and dying. After many experiences, the young priest comes to a new respect for the people he has sought to change.
Black Robe succeeds by maintaining a basic, at times brutal, honesty in depiction of Indian culture. An extraordinary work, it shows a
genuine respect for its subject. With meticulously authentic production and ravishingly expressive photography, everything attests to Beresford's unpretentious artistry, the trademark of his best works.

Harris Center - Thursday, October 3 - 9:15 p.m. - 96 min. Ingmar Bergman is among the world's most lauded directors, and Max von Sydow was for many years one of the leading players in his select company of actors. It was Bergman and von Sydow whose combined talents produced The Seventh Seal, which has continued to appear on lists of the world's all-time film greats since 1956.
Filled with symbolism and vivid photographic effects, the film is set in Medieval Europe at the time when the Plague is ravishing the continent. It tells the story of a knight who challenges Death to a chess game, hoping to preoccupy him long enough to allow a small group of people with whom the knight has come into contact to escape. The risk to the knight in so doing is obvious.
The Seventh Seal won the Cannes Film Festival's International Jury Prize two years running. The New York Post said "it stands in the company of the world's great films." The New York Times said "a film of awesome scope and remarkable visual pleasures." One critic went so far as to say "if you see one film this year, it should be The Seventh Seal."
