The Brandeis Center Hires Policy Director Emma Enig

Washington, D.C. (March 16, 2023) – The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law (LDB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Emma Enig as the organization’s first-ever Director of Policy Education.

.

“As the Louis D. Brandeis Center expands to address the growing problem of anti-Semitism, we are pleased to strengthen our public policy and civil education capabilities with this key hire,” said Brandeis Center Founder and Chairman Kenneth L. Marcus. “Decisionmakers need to understand both the nature and scope of current anti-Semitism and also the legal and policy tools that are needed to address it. Emma Enig is a skilled professional who will help the Brandeis Center to ensure that those who need our educational resources are able to get them.”

.

“I am thrilled to welcome Emma to the Brandeis Center in this new capacity,” said Brandeis Center President Alyza D. Lewin. “Emma has worked with us for years, first as college intern and then as a JIGSAW Fellow. She is extremely well versed in our issues and, therefore, uniquely qualified for this position. One of our greatest challenges in combatting anti-Semitism, is that most people don’t recognize anti-Semitism or understand how to utilize legal and policy tools to address it. We have, therefore, created this new role to expand our educational programming to address this crucial need. I’m excited to work with Emma as we develop and grow this important Brandeis Center initiative.”

.

“Working for the Brandeis Center has always been my dream job,” Ms. Enig proclaimed. “The organization’s pioneering legal approach to help school administrators recognize campus anti-Semitism – and hold them accountable if they don’t act quickly and decisively to combat the problem – is practical and powerful, especially in comparison to groups’ earlier approaches. There’s a reason the ‘Marcus Policy’ is being used to file legal complaints of campus anti-Semitism by groups in addition to LDB now – because it works! I’m excited to educate the levers of power and amplify the Brandeis Center’s message to those who can make a difference in Jewish students’ lives.”

Enig, a D.C.-area native, is a second-year law student at Antonin Scalia Law School and graduate of George Washington University, where she double-majored in Jewish History and Political Science. She has educated others on First Amendment protections, promoted minority representation in politics, and worked with non- and bipartisan organizations to further Jewish causes. Using her extensive historical, political, and legal knowledge of anti-Semitism in the U.S. and abroad, Enig previously worked on both international campaigns against Jew-hatred and domestically for the Republican Jewish Coalition as Deputy Grassroots Director and CAMERA as a Campus Fellow.
