Sometimes you get more than you pay for. Last month, attendees at the annual Jewish Law Symposium at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany were treated to a surprise performance which made the evening unforgettable and the daunting attendance fee ($175 at the door) seem like a bargain. (This writer’s fee was indeed a bargain, thanks to table host Ken Javerbaum.) The Symposium is the brainchild of Rabbi Shalom D. Lubin of the S.E. Morris County Chabad.
According to its website, the Jewish Law Symposium is “geared to attorneys throughout the State of New Jersey who have an interest in exploring, studying, and debating the Ethical and Moral Dilemmas facing the legal community today from both Civil Law and Talmudic Law perspectives.” Now offering CLE ethics credits, the Symposium draws a diverse and engaged crowd of attorneys and non-lawyers. This year’s program was one for the books.
