people. The Society was created to provide a social vehicle to
network, encourage civility and build camaraderie among attorneys
while celebrating their Jewish heritage and Jewish values in the
law. The Society's members seek to combine aspects of their lives
unique to being both attorneys and Jews. The Society, in furtherance
of these purposes, shall serve as a forum for the advocation and
education of issues and topics of mutual interest and concern

President's
Message April 8, 2009
Greetings,
On behalf of the Executive Committee I wish all a Happy Pesach.
Prior to sitting down to our Seders I wanted you to SAVE THE
DATES of three important upcoming events which we are sponsoring.
Before doing so, I wish to report that although we did not manage
to send a mission to Israel in February due to such short notice,
many members have requested that we plan such a trip next year
with sufficient notice so that our membership may plan accordingly.
We will do so and inform you in due course of the dates and
plans for such a trip in 2010.
1- On Monday April 27, 2009 we shall sponsor in the Westchester
County Courthouse our first annual "Holocaust Remembrance
Event". It will begin at 5:15 pm in the jurors lounge with
a light dinner and at 6:30 an internationally acclaimed film,
narrated by Christopher Plummer, provided by the Jacob Burns
Film Center, "Nuremberg: The Nazis Meet Their Accusers"
shall be shown. The film shall be introduced by the Program
Director of the Burns Center. There shall be no charge to our
members.
2. On Tuesday June 2, 2009 we shall have our first "Meet
The Judges Night". It will take place at Hampshire Country
Club in Mamaroneck. This event will be free or at minimal cost
to members and is the perfect time to renew your membership
and bring colleagues to join. Cocktails and Hors' d'oeuvre's'
will be served. All dietary laws observed at all events.
3. On Thursday November 12, 2009 we shall have the privelege
of honoring, Judge Jonathan Lippman, Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals, as our first recipient of the JBWLS Lifetime Achievement
Award. This gala event will be the highlight of our development
as a Westchester Jewish bar association. Cost and location to
be advised shortly.
We thank you for your continued interest and hope to see you
at all 2009 events and we wish you a healthy and meaningful
Seder!
Jeffrey Cohen, President
JBWLS
