As former President Donald Trump walked stone-faced out of a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday afternoon after being charged and booked over hush money payments he made to two women in 2016, his legal team followed in tow.
Curiously to many watching the drama unfold, two men wearing yarmulkas were seen on camera walking along with Trump’s legal team just behind the president.
While Trump has a crew of lawyers working on his defense against Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s charges against him, the inclusion of two Orthodox Jewish lawyers has never been publicly disclosed.
One of the lawyers appears to Gedalia Stern, a Manhattan-based attorney who, according to sources who spoke to YWN, has been working on this case on behalf of Trump for some time.
Stern graduated from Beth Medrash Govoha in 2010 and Columbia Law School in 2014, and currently lives in Clifton, NJ.
Sources also tell YWN that the other kippa-clad lawyer is Steven Yurowitz, a talmid of Passaic Yeshiva and Lakewood East who now lives in Passaic. A 1996 graduate of Yeshiva University’s Cardozo Law School, he previously assisted defense lawyers in the Trump Organization trial and was recently brought in to work on this matter as well.

I heard they were Maccabeats waiting to do a flash mob, but once they saw all the security they chickened out.
Wait, isn’t this the antisemite president?
Not like the jew loving Biden who only hires and appoints antisemetics.
Wow, when did life become so confusing?
Mi kamocha yisroel. Its wonderful that some really talented yiddeshe lawyers get some billable hours from this circus. The Trumpkopf is the gift that keeps on giving.
What!?! I thought trump is an anti semite !?!
I guess not 🙄
Wait a minute. I thought the Yeshiva education only produces ignorant dummies, at least according to the Torah haters on this website?
Bless this man Trump and his team
This very well may be true, and is this unlikely because? Yes it is cool, but the title is a tad anti-semitic wouldn’t you say, tropes and all? But what do I know…Gut yom tov, may we all go out of Egypt this pesach
Hope they got their money in advance, Trump is notorious for not paying for work done. He stiffed my brother for over a quarter million and it took me three years attaching Trump holdings in FL and NY to recover a judgment against the deadbeat
The Jewish people have a lot of hakoras hatov to President Donald J. Trump. So this development is unsurprising.
a good reason to delay all motions post-Pesach and post the Judgement Day. Do days with no tachanun count?
Also, anti-trumpers are now assured of live TV view not interfering with their shabbos observance, and can buy pop-corn after Pesach.
Because he likes Jews and has always been an ally to the Jewish people. You on the other hand are on the side of the Democrats which is the opposite.
Thanks for reporting about those 2, we will find out about what they were up to
Sara Rifka: With your baracha, we all know where he will end up. You’ve shown yourself to be the ultimate contrarian indicator. Chag samaeach.
This episode reminds us of the political experience of the July Monarchy which, from 1830 to the revolution of 1848, was to decide the fate of the French. Eighteen years of reign of a movement that had put the bourgeoisie in power. Tocqueville was writing some amateurs politicians will come in power, it will be a real mess blame it on bourgasim who put them in “power”.
Trump has benefited New York State tremendously. With his huge real estate portfolio..and by luring international and domestic investors.. The despicable New York prosecutors are willing to drive their state down the drain and send it to hell.. If this what it takes to bury Trump.
Beats having to keep your hand on your head.
