Jewish legal organizations blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for failing to appoint a single Jewish person to the 18-person committee tasked with advising the mayor on his judicial nominations.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour recent announcement of appointees to the Mayor\u2019s Advisory Committee on the Judiciary has left us deeply disappointed,\u201d read a joint letter from the leaders of the Queens Brandeis Association, Jewish Lawyers Guild, the Brooklyn Brandeis Society and the Bronx County Jewish Bar Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot a single Jewish attorney, former judge or legal professional was appointed to a committee your administration described as one that would be \u2018truly reflective of New York City,\u2019\u201d the letter continued.<\/p>\n

The decision, the leaders said, \u201cfollows a troubling pattern that has left many Jewish New Yorkers feeling increasingly marginalized\u201d \u2014 after Hizzoner rejected using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance\u2019s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and his omitted Jewish neighborhoods on a map of immigrant enclaves in the city.<\/p>\n

The Jewish community is feeling particularly vulnerable and in need of representation after last week\u2019s hate-fueled attack on a Jewish man outside of a synagogue on the Upper West side, the letter states.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge you to correct this exclusion by appointing qualified Jewish members to the Advisory Committee and to reaffirm that Jewish New Yorkers are entitled to the same representation, respect and protection as every other community.\u201d<\/p>\n

City Hall announced Mamdani\u2019s appointments to the Advisory Committee to the Judiciary on July 22.<\/p>\n

The committee is chaired by Ali Najm \u2014 an attorney and close ally to the mayor who has referred to as him as his \u201cbrother\u201d and who was a key part of the Democratic socialist\u2019s sudden rise to power.<\/p>\n
