Judge Roy Altman on History, Evidence, and the Law

[upbeat music] Wherever you're listening in the world, it's a pleasure to welcome you to Israelcast, the podcast powered by Jewish National Fund USA, your voice in Israel.

I'm Steven Schulwitz, and on this episode we're coming to you from JNF House, right in the very heart of New York City, where our featured guest is Judge Roy K. Altman.

Now, after being confirmed to a seat on US District Court for the Southern District of Florida in 2019, Judge Altman, at the age of 36, became the youngest federal district court judge in the country and the youngest federal judge ever appointed in the Southern District of Florida.

Now, the Venezuelan-born judge received his JD from Yale Law School and his BA from Columbia University, where he also was a quarterback on the football team, I may add, as well as played baseball for Columbia.

Now, just a few months back, the judge released a fantastic book.

It's called Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law.

You can see it right here if you're joining us on YouTube.

It's published by Advantage Books, and I urge you to pick up a copy wherever you like to buy your books.

His career highlights are indeed numerous, and we'll have his full bio on the show notes page of this very episode wherever you're consuming this podcast.

But in the meantime, it's such a joy to welcome Judge Roy Altman to Israelcast.

Thanks so much for joining us, Judge.

Thank you for having me.
