Abraham Hamra
Abraham Hamra, Esq.
Managing Partner · Cohen Tucker & Ades PC · Syrian Jewish Refugee

Abraham Hamra grew up in Damascus, Syria — a city where Jewish families couldn't leave, couldn't wear a kippah in public, and lived under the constant shadow of state-sanctioned antisemitism and Islamic extremism. He was among the last Jews trapped there before a U.S. treaty freed Syria's Jewish community in 1992.

He arrived in New York at age seven. He put himself through Hofstra University and Pace Law School, graduating magna cum laude, built a litigation firm, sold it, and became managing partner at one of America's leading immigration law firms. Then — in 2021 — he watched a Jewish man get beaten in Times Square and decided he was done waiting for someone else to speak up.

What followed: a 20,000-signature petition, a federal conviction, viral Arabic-language videos reaching across the Middle East, rallies in DC, panels from New York to Toronto to Melbourne, and 140,000 people following a man who calls himself simply "uncancellable."

What Abraham Speaks About

The Topics That
Move Rooms

01 — Key Talk
Islamic Extremism Is Arriving in the WestNew

He didn't read about this in a book. He grew up surrounded by it in Syria — watched it silence, displace, and erase an entire Jewish community. Now he's watching the same ideological pipeline — from Middle Eastern madrassas to Western campuses — arrive here. This talk is a warning from someone with a front-row seat to what comes next.

02
What It Means to Be a Jew

Jewish identity isn't a label — it's a civilization, a lineage, a responsibility. Abraham speaks on Jewish pride, cultural depth, and why knowing who you are is the foundation of standing up. He dismantles divisive labels that weaken the Jewish people and calls them back to shared roots.

03
The Mizrahi Argument They Can't Answer

A dark-skinned Jew from Syria destroys the "white colonizer" narrative before he opens his mouth. He explains why the Mizrahi and Sephardic experience is the most powerful counter-argument to anti-Zionist antisemitism — and why it needs to be front and center in every advocacy conversation.

04
Empower & Unite — Building One Jewish People

Ethiopian Jews. Chinese Jews. Syrian Jews. Ashkenazi Jews. All standing for the same ancestral homeland. Abraham's mission is to forge those bonds into armor. When the Jewish people are united, they are unstoppable. This is his call to action.

05 — Signature
How to Win a Debate About IsraelBootcamp

The anatomy of anti-Israel arguments — the false framings, rhetorical traps, emotional manipulation. Abraham teaches audiences how to identify them in real time and shut them down. Practical. Tactical. Immediately applicable. You leave knowing how to hold the floor.

06
Resilience Over Victimhood

The refugee who became the attorney. The displaced child who built the American Dream. Abraham applies that same blueprint to the Jewish community: stop waiting for permission to stand up. The world respects people who demand respect. Here's how.

07
DEI Has Been Weaponized Against Jews

Diversity frameworks built to protect minorities are being weaponized to exclude the one group they should protect most. Abraham exposes the contradiction with precision and tells the Jewish community exactly how to fight back within these systems.

08
Social Media as a Frontline Weapon

140K followers. Millions of views. Arabic-language posts reaching across the Arab world. Abraham breaks down how to build a fearless, credible advocacy voice online — and how individual people can shift the information war at scale.
