Meet the Honorable Judge Roy Altman — Tuesday, September 22, 7:00 PM.

Judge Altman serves as a United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida. After clerking for the U.S. Court of Appeals and serving as a federal prosecutor, he became the youngest federal district court judge in the country at age 36.

He'll be speaking on his recent book, Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law, which applies courtroom-tested standards — burden of proof, corroboration, chain of custody — to the claims made against Israel.

Presented by the Harvard Chabad Jewish Leadership Forum at 65 Banks Street in Cambridge. HJAA members are warmly invited, and the event is also accessible virtually, so you can join from anywhere.

Free and open to all. Bring a friend.

The Gates Are Open — tonight at 8:00 PM ET.

What will it mean to be Jewish in this new year?
Join Harvard's Jewish community and our rabbis for an hour of reflection on the question that, like the cry of the shofar, rises above all the noise.

With Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi of Harvard Chabad and Rabbi Jason Rubenstein '04 of Harvard Hillel. The hour includes rabbi-led breakout rooms, so this is a conversation rather than a lecture.

Presented in coordination with the Harvard Business School Jewish Alumni Association, the Harvard Law School Association Jewish Alumni Network, Harvard Faculty for Israel, and the broader Ivy alumni community.

Live on Zoom. Free and open to all — bring a friend.

When: Wed, May 6 · 6pm reception · 7pm program
Where: Midtown Manhattan (address shared upon registration)

Co-hosted with HBS-JAA, HLS-JAN, and Jewish Alumni Strong.
