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 to its members.

President's Message March 7, 2010

Greetings,

As Passover approaches we have embarked upon our most ambitious projects yet. On Thursday, April 15, 2010 we will be having a gala event at the DoubleTree Hotel in Tarrytown, NY at which Honorable Jonathan Lippman, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals will be honored as the recipient of our first Lifetime Achievement Award. We have invited attorneys and judges from all five counties in the 9th Judicial District and truly anticipate a very well attended successful and exciting evening. If you wish you may download all information regarding this event including the invitation and directions from this website.

Simultaneous with the planning of this event we have expanded our membership to include those throughout the five county area. This year, we have also planned to co-host Holocaust Remembrance Day events in Orange and Rockland Counties in late April together with the Bar Associations of both counties.

On behalf of the entire Board of Directors we wish you and your families a happy "Zissin" Pesach.

Best Regards,

Jeffrey Cohen, President
