Legal Eagles Unite, Jewish Lawyers Association Forms to Combat Antisemitism in Palm Beach County
In response to rising antisemitism, a new line of defense has been drawn in Palm Beach County by legal professionals with the establishment of the Jewish Lawyers Association of Palm Beach County. This collective aims to extend its solidarity to allies, vowing to challenge antisemitic sentiments and to bolster communal unity. According to CBS12 News, the founding president Gary Lesser expressed hope that their unified voice will rise louder than that of those who harbor hatred.
At a time where division feels rampant, the association reflects an urgent desire for action, tethering the legal prowess of its members to the cause of justice and tolerance. "There has been talk of starting a Jewish lawyers association for many years, but with significantly increasing antisemitism, the time to make it happen is now," Lesser told Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce. The new grouping is committed to cultural continuity, the promotion of professional growth, and extending a hand to anyone associated with the law or insurance field regardless of their religious affiliation.
The association was inaugurated yesterday, marked by an event at the Palm Beach County Historic 1916 Courthouse, indicating an auspicious start to their commitments. Guest speakers included Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz, and West Palm Beach Mayor Keith James, highlighting the community-wide support for the initiative. More details about their mission and future programming can be found on their official website, as the organization embarks on its foundational year with a strong backing from both Jewish and non-Jewish members of the legal community.
The group's commitment to fostering dialogue and "make things better here in our community" was underscored by Lesser in his address, mirroring a broader aspiration for societal improvement that transcends barriers. "Jewish lawyers, Jewish judges, and our allies will deliver programming that will strengthen our Jewish cultural heritage, fight antisemitism and hatred, and help bring our community together while doing so," Lesser said according to the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce. With such endeavors, the Jewish Lawyers Association of Palm Beach County not only confronts the darkness of prejudice but also lights a candle for the prospect of a more harmonious society.
