When I was a lawyer at Gibson Dunn in D.C., we took our summer associates to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. A survivor spoke to us and said something that stuck with me:
Lawyers need to know the holocaust did not begin with camps. It began when Jews were removed from institutions - above all, legal institutions. Judges stripped of their robes. Lawyers disbarred. Then, when law-groups were Judenrein, they codified laws that made discrimination systematic and "legal."
First, you remove the Jews from the institutions. Then, Jews can be discriminated against without representation.
On Monday, Mayor Mamdani announced his 18-member Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. The Committee was promised to be "truly reflective of New York City."
Not one of the 18 is Jewish.
Not one Jewish attorney, former judge, or law professor - in a city where one in eight residents is Jewish and even Justice John Leventhal, recommended by the State's Chief Judge, was rejected.
It is estimated that over 50% of the New York bar is Jewish. That means there is a 0.0004% chance of no Jews being selected to the Committee.
Mamdani’s marginalization of Jews has been ongoing, and few voices on the Left have spoken up.
On Day 1, Mamdani revoked the IHRA antisemitism definition (top priority); he changed the NYPD guidance protecting houses of worship, eliminated Jews from the City's immigrant-heritage map, called for the arrest of the prime minister of the only Jewish state, and now created a Judenrein Judiciary Committee.
My grandmother, Leah, survived Nazi Germany. Before the laws, before the violence, she told me how she was pushed out of her high school groups. Then, once excluded from all activities, she was bullied and marginalized.
We are already seeing Step 2 in NYC. Two weeks ago, on a Jewish Holiday, two men were stabbed outside Upper West Side synagogues - one wearing a kippah- and yesterday, Jewish students were attacked. Every 26 hours, there is a hate crime against Jews in NYC.
In NYC, there is a concerted effort to disappear Jews from public life and leadership.
No one on the Left is speaking out. If this discrimination was happening to any other group, the chorus would be deafening.
To be clear, Jews will find a way. Many are already taking their talents elsewhere. When white-shoe firms shut Jewish lawyers out, they built firms that now dominate. Cardozo, Louis Marshall, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all found a way despite discrimination.
But NYC will be worse off without us. A city government that is judenrein - cleansed of Jews – does not just hurt the Jews, but hurts the city.
The tragedy is not just that Jews were left out of the institutions. It is that the institutions were left without the Jews.
If you see this and have not yet spoken out, I encourage you to do so.
🚨 THIS SHOULD BE THE SUPER BOWL AD AGAINST ANTISEMITISM 🎯
While the Super Bowl spot against antisemitism is being debated, A NEW VIDEO against antisemitism just dropped.
And it actually lands. Hitting the core...A bullseye.

🚨This is NOT a picture from auschwits in 1943.🚨
This is a picture from Gaza in 2025 of a yound Israeli man who was kidnapped by Hamas Terrorists and he has been held there against his will for almost TWO YEARS.💔
His name is Eviatar. 🎗️
PASS THIS ON IF YOU CARE ABOUT HIM.🙏
The videos/scenes out of Amsterdam are disgusting. Middle Eastern mobs hunting down and attacking jews on the streets. Where are the authorities? Enough people have been warning of unchecked antisemitism in streets around the world. Governments must do more.
NEW: Pro-Palestine protester harasses a Daily Bruin journalist before saying "I hate white people."
The woman was live streaming from the UCLA Divest IG account when she made the comment.
Immediately after saying she "hates white people" the protester threatened to call the journalist "racist" if she wrote about her.
In a separate live stream, the protester threatened to "deal with" the "U.S. Imperialist States."

Imagine if a black kid was being denied entry to UCLA by white students…
We’d all know his name, the NBA season would be cancelled, cities would be burning and dementia man would’ve sent in the national guard.
