Saul Jay Singer (born 1951) is an American legal ethicist, Judaica collector, and a columnist for The Jewish Press.
Saul Jay Singer was born in 1951 in New York City. He grew up in a Jewish household and attended Yeshiva University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history. He later earned his Juris Doctor degree with honors from the University of Baltimore School of Law at age 40.[1]
Singer began his legal career as an associate at a law firm in New York City, specializing in corporate law and litigation, with a focus on legal ethics. He has served as Senior Legal Ethics Counsel for the District of Columbia Bar, and has been involved in several high-profile civil rights cases, including representing high school teacher David Sanders in a federal civil rights/wrongful termination lawsuit.[2]

Since 2005, Singer has been a regular columnist for The Jewish Press. His columns cover topics such as Jewish law, history, and contemporary issues. Notable columns include "Mordechai Noah’s Plan To Establish A Jewish Homeland In The United States," "The Amazing Tale Of Morris ‘Two-Gun’ Cohen," and "How Did Israel Fund Its War Of Independence?".[4]
Singer is also an avid collector of Judaica. His interest began when his parents gifted him a collection of Israeli stamps upon his graduation from law school. This led him to collect autographed documents and historical artifacts. His collection includes over 10,000 items, such as letters from significant Jewish historical figures like Moses Montefiore and Raoul Wallenberg. His collection has been featured in various exhibitions and is known for its historical value.[5]
Singer is married to Rachel Singer, a clinical psychologist, and they have three children. They reside in Teaneck, New Jersey, and are active members of their local Jewish community. Singer serves on the board of the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey.[6]
