Alyza D. Lewin, “Using the Law to Combat Anti-Semitism”

March 24, 2019

LDB President Alyza D. Lewin will speak to a Hadassah Forum at the AIPAC Policy Conference on “Using the Law to Combat Anti-Semitism.” Anti-Semitism and efforts to boycott Israel are on the rise. Legal tools provide a mechanism to address this growing scourge. Ms. Lewin will discuss how anti-Zionism is an attack on Jewish identity and how to recognize when criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. Recently appointed to the position of President and General Counsel at the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, Lewin is also a partner at Lewin & Lewin LLP, where she specializes in litigation and government relations. She is the former President of the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (AAJLJ) and has served on the boards of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington and the Women’s Bar Association of the District of Columbia.
