Eliyahu "Eli" Federman is Senior Vice President & Chief Communications Officer of the large deal website 1SaleADay.[1] In 2010, he worked on behalf of 1SaleADay to win a protracted international trademark dispute with an Australian company. Federman served as executive articles editor of the New York City Law Review from 2009 to 2010.
He is also an activist and writer whose work has been published in the Social Science Research Network, New York Times, The Jewish Daily Forward, and other publications. His topics range from sexual abuse awareness, civil rights, gender equality, and death penalty issues.
Early life
From the ages of 14 to 17, Federman helped expose a cover-up of his father's murder by members of a SWAT team in Kern County, California.[2][3] In 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a District Court ruling that the police used excessive force.[4]
Federman is also the nephew of the famous American comedian, actor, author, and comedy writer Wayne Federman. He is a brother of 1SaleADay founder Ben Federman.
Nazi protest
In 2006, while attending Marquette University, Federman organized a protest urging the Office of Special Investigation (OSI) division of the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the immigration status of Ted Junker, a former SS officer who built a shrine to commemorate Adolf Hitler's legacy.[5][6][7]
Law school
In 2008, during his first year of law school, Federman received a Charles H. Revson grant.[8] He used the grant to intern for Ronald L. Kuby, working on a Second Circuit Court of Appeals case.[9] Federman graduated law school in 2010.
Federman was the executive articles editor of the New York City Law Review, published by the City University of New York School of Law, from 2009 to 2010. He has published several articles [10][11] including contributions to several death-penalty-related law review articles published by his law school professor Jeffrey L. Kirchmeier.[12][13][14]
1SaleADay
He is currently vice president of 1SaleADay, the largest independently owned daily deal website.[15] In 2010, through the Internet's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), he worked for 1SaleADay to resolve a lengthy international trademark dispute with an Australian company.[16][17] The World Trademark Review highlighted this case, showing the risks of informal intellectual property licensing.[18]
In 2011, Internet Retailer and the Examiner featured Federman's social media strategy, emphasizing transparent communication with customers, and using current events to promote the site, especially during the Japanese tsunami and other natural disasters.[15]
ABC News later reported on his tactic of allowing 1SaleADay employees to use internal social media (Yammer),[19] which increased productivity.[20]
Activism
Gag order controversy
In 2010, the New York Times published a letter by Federman challenging a gag order issued by the Beth Din in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section, which prohibited members of the Lubavitcher community from speaking with the police or media.[21] Federman's letter received both support and criticism within the Crown Heights community.[22]
Sexual abuse awareness
Federman advocated for open discussions about sexual abuse within the Jewish community, arguing that protecting children is more important than concerns about reputation.[23] He emphasized that a lack of education about bodies and intimacy makes children more vulnerable to abuse and less likely to report it.[24] In a JPost Op-Ed, Federman commended the Crown Heights Beis Din for encouraging victims to report sexual abuse.[25]
Know-Your-Rights
Federman argued for an educational seminar teaching African-American and Jewish communities about their rights when interacting with the police, believing it would improve police-community relations in Crown Heights.[26] Local police endorsed the seminar.[27] Presenters included Federman, lawyers Norman Siegel and Earl Ward, District Attorney counsel Lance P. Ogiste, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, and Senator Eric Adams.[28][29] The Jewish Press reported the seminar aimed to encourage complaints about police conduct and inform citizens of their rights.[30]
Voting rights
In 2011, the New York Times discussed Federman's challenge to a social service agency's male-only voting policy in the Crown Heights Jewish community, arguing that it may be unconstitutional and against Jewish law.[31] The The Jewish Daily Forward also criticized the policy in 2010.[32] Federman wrote an Op-Ed for the Forward reflecting on combating the lack of discussion on women's voting rights.[33]
