Rabbi Barry Silver (November 18, 1956 – March 21, 2024) was an American attorney and politician in Florida who served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives.[1]
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Barry Silver was born to Elaine and Samuel Silver[2] in Mount Vernon, New York, on November 18, 1956.[3][4]
Silver graduated with honors from Florida Atlantic University in 1979, and received his juris doctor from Nova University in 1983.[5][4]
Career

Silver came in first in the primary election held on September 2, 1996, to replace Ron Klein in Florida House of Representatives District 89.[6] In October, Silver won the Democratic nomination for the runoff election over Glenn Wichinsky. Because there was no Republican opposition,[2] by winning the runoff, Silver essentially won the District 89 Seat.[7]
In June 2022, Silver filed a lawsuit against a Florida law banning abortions after 15 weeks, on the grounds that the law infringed on the constitution's right to freedom of religion, among other legal entitlements.[8]
Silver led Congregation L'Dor Va-Dor in Palm Beach County from 1996.[9][10]
Death
