Jewish Council For Public Affrs

The Financial District has its share of advocacy groups, but few as long-standing as the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. Operating from 25 Broadway, 17th floor, they handle policy research, community relations, and public education on issues that ripple beyond the neighborhood. Their work—spanning civil rights, immigration, and interfaith dialogue—often sets the tone for national conversations, even if the office itself stays out of the spotlight.

Down in the canyons of lower Manhattan, where the hum of the stock exchange still lingers, the Council keeps a low profile. They coordinate coalitions, draft statements, and host briefings, all while maintaining a presence in a building that’s seen its share of history. For questions or details, (212) 684-6950 connects directly to their team. A quick check of the map confirms they’re just steps from the subway, though most visitors arrive by appointment rather than chance.
