Jewish Cultural Heritage Employee Resource Group
The mission of this employee resource group is to provide a space for communication among our Jewish colleagues – and others who are interested – on issues that we face in our practices and our lives. Antisemitism, the world’s oldest hatred, is rising again, and we need to face it together, and with Hinshaw’s support. Our goals are to network, to share our stories among ourselves and with the larger Hinshaw and broader legal community. To create a platform where our shared cultural experiences can be discussed, recognized, respected, and blended with those of other groups within the firm and society. To build business connections together. To have some fun.
The Jewish Cultural Heritage Employee Resource Group is led by David Levitt.
