The Louis D. Brandeis Center Mourns the Passing of Neal M. Sher

A Member of Our Legal Advisory Board

The Louis D. Brandeis Center mourns the passing of long-time advisory board member Neal Sher, an active member of the LDB community and a prominent attorney who formerly headed the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Special Investigations and directed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

Neal was with us from the beginning, not only as an honorary member but as an active advisor who was frequently a source of advice and support, especially during our early years. Neal was legendary as a Nazi prosecutor during his Justice Department days and charismatic as a leader of the pro-Israel community. Throughout his career, he was a fierce and passionate advocate for the Jewish people and a tireless enemy of Nazis, terrorists, and other anti-Semites. He understood before most that what is happening to Jewish college students today should be alarming to anyone who cares about justice. We will always remember Neal Sher, and his memory will inspire us to redouble our efforts to fight the evils that he battled throughout his distinguished career.
