Benjamin Brafman, a high-profile criminal defense attorney, will highlighting the program. Rabbi Shalom Lubin of the Chabad of SE Morris County, founder of the Jewish Law Symposium, will moderate a panel discussion with Jeffrey S. Chiesa, founding partner of Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC; Karen Kessler, a public relations expert;, and Rabbi Simon Jacobson, a renowned Jewish scholar and thinker.

The laws and ethics of the Talmud have served as a cornerstone of humanitys civil and moral infrastructure, while shaping its legal judicial systems, Rabbi Lubin said. Navigating the timely topic of cancel culture and exploring options of the redemptive process through the lens of both civil law and the Talmud and 2,000 years of Jewish ethics and wisdom is very exciting.
