NYC Mayor Convenes His Jewish Advisory Council For First Time

New York City Mayor Eric Adams hosted a pre-High Holidays roundtable with his Jewish Advisory Council.

Mayor Eric Adams joined the meeting, and the event was chaired by senior adviser of the mayor Mr. Joel Eisdorfer.

He briefed the leaders on safety and other important matters.

Mayor Adams announced the formation of the city’s first-ever Jewish Advisory Council last June.

Members of the newly-formed council will focus on all issues affecting Jewish New Yorkers, including public safety, quality of life, and education, and will ensure Jewish communities across New York City are connected with all of the city’s resources and services available.

Chaired by Joel Eisdorfer, senior advisor to Mayor Adams, the council is comprised of 37 members and will convene regularly to discuss issues affecting the city’s Jewish community.

“Our Jewish community — the largest in the world outside of Israel — is a critical part of New York City,” said Adams. “From the top of the Bronx to the bottom of Staten Island, the work and contributions of our Jewish brothers and sisters are felt across all five boroughs. With antisemitic crimes up across the nation, our newly-formed Jewish Advisory Council will ensure that Jewish New Yorkers in every community have a seat at the table and have access to the support and resources the city offers.”
