Engaging, Cultivating & Connecting Jewish Leadership

Exploring how federal law defines Jewishness and anti-Jewish discrimination, historically and today. This session will delve into who the jews are - a race, a religious group, an ethnicity, a nationality. 

Questions explored will include how the law defines Jews and if that definition can change, how does defining Jewish identity define antisemitism or vice versa, and what are the legal ramifications of this definition.

This online webinar is eligible for 1 hour of CLE credit in NY, CA, FL, IL, and CO

Ethical leadership in law goes far beyond bar rules—it’s about character, judgment, and the choices attorneys make when no one is watching. 

This session uses some of Seinfeld’s most hilarious moments as an unlikely but revealing lens on Jewish ethics, exploring what Jewish tradition teaches about integrity, responsibility, and leadership.
 

When does the law require us to help others, even when we have nothing to gain?

Join us this month as we explore how American law and Jewish tradition approach the duty to protect others, and what these differences teach us about rights, responsibilities, and the purpose of law.
