Wednesday, March 21, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law On Wednesday, March 21, Gabriel Groisman – a lawyer, writer, speaker, and the Mayor of Bal Harbour, Florida – will address the LDB chapter at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Mayor Groisman wrote and passed the nation’s first municipal anti-BDS ordinance as well as the nation’s first codification of a uniform definition of anti-Semitism. His anti-BDS ordinance prohibits the municipality from contracting with any business that is engaged in the BDS movement. Mayor Groisman’s anti-BDS ordinance is currently spreading to cities across the country. In 2016, Ambassador Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, invited Mayor Groisman to speak at two conferences hosted at the UN to discuss his efforts in fighting the BDS movement. Mayor Groisman’s groundbreaking anti-Semitism ordinance is utilized to help law enforcement investigate hate crimes against Jews, and is beginning to make its way across the nation as well. Mayor Groisman also publishes op-ed pieces regularly on different platforms, including The Algemeiner, The Huffington Post and The Times of Israel and had been a guest on various television and radio programs, aiming to keep issues affecting the Jewish and pro-Israel community in the forefront of the national conversation. Gabriel Groisman is also an attorney with his own firm, Groisman, PLLC where he represents a diverse set of clients in international commercial affairs.
