Brandeis Association
About Brandeis Association
Based in Cedarhurst, NY, the Brandeis Association represents a unique community of Jewish legal professionals committed to integrating their religious values and traditions with their work in the legal field. Established in 1969, this voluntary bar association has grown into a meaningful organization that brings together lawyers and judges from the Borough of Queens who share both professional dedication and cultural identity.
At its core, the Brandeis Association believes that the demand for justice runs through the entirety of Jewish tradition. The organization's mission extends beyond typical bar association functions to create lifelong friendships and foster respect for law and legal institutions while maintaining a strong focus on community engagement. Members work together to address legal and social issues that have a direct impact on Jewish members of the legal profession, the broader Queens County community, and the larger Jewish community as a whole.
The association honors its heritage through named scholarship programs recognizing past members like Jerome Ginsberg, Moses M. Weinstein, and Hon. Charles J. Thomas—influential figures who dedicated their careers to advancing justice and mentoring the next generation of legal professionals. By combining professional excellence with community values, the Brandeis Association creates a welcoming space where Jewish legal professionals can advocate for their beliefs, educate their communities, and build meaningful connections that extend far beyond the courtroom.
