A major law firm has filed a lawsuit against a country club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, accusing it of long-standing discrimination against Jewish members. The complaint alleges that Frenchman’s Creek Beach & Country Club engaged in “egregious Jew-hatred” by blocking applications from Jewish individuals and rejecting social events involving Jewish groups.

According to the JNS report, the lawsuit details internal policies and actions that allegedly singled out Jewish applicants or created barriers that prevented them from joining or fully participating in club activities. The filing includes statements from witnesses and former staff, suggesting a broader pattern of bias over several years.

The legal team, which includes high-profile civil rights attorneys, says the case is about fighting religious discrimination and holding private institutions accountable. In response, the country club has denied the allegations and said it will address the matter through the legal process.

The case comes amid rising concern over antisemitism in public and private spaces. Organizations tracking discrimination have noted a spike in reported incidents across the United States. Legal experts believe this lawsuit could set an important precedent, especially for membership-based communities and private clubs.
