JEWISH LEGAL GROUPS SLAM MAMDANI’S EXCLUSION OF JEWS FROM JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS PANEL

Jewish legal groups have criticized the exclusion of Jews from a 18-member judicial appointments panel in New York, calling it part of a 'troubling pattern' in the far-left mayor's administration, according to The Times of Israel. The panel, meant to 'reflect' New Yorkers, failed to include a single Jewish lawyer. This decision has sparked concern among Jewish legal groups, who expressed their dissatisfaction in a letter.

The letter from Jewish legal groups highlights the lack of representation of Jews in the judicial appointments panel, which is responsible for reflecting the diversity of New Yorkers. According to The Times of Israel, this exclusion is seen as part of a broader issue in the mayor's administration. The specific details of the letter and the administration's response are not provided in the available information.

The incident occurs amidst a backdrop of rising concerns about antisemitism and hate crimes, as reported by The Times of Israel in related coverage, including the deadliest year in decades for diaspora Jews and warnings that hate is becoming the 'new normal'.
