Hasidic Dean Twerski of Hofstra Law Wins At JITC’s 2nd Jewish Media Awards

At JITC’s 2nd Jewish Media Awards, we were proud to honor Hasidic Jew Professor Aaron D. Twerski with a Jewish Media All-Star Award.

A leading legal scholar and educator, Professor Aaron Twerski is the Irwin and Jill Cohen Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School, a former dean at Hofstra University School of Law, and one of the most influential voices in tort law today.

In his acceptance speech, he spoke candidly about breaking stereotypes — challenging assumptions about what Orthodox Jews look like, how they think, and where they belong.
