Mayor Adams Chooses BPJCC to Participate in City’s COVID-Recovery Task Force

By Yehudit Garmaise 

Mayor Eric Adams chose Avi Greenstein, the CEO of the Boro Park Jewish Community Council (BPJCC), as one of the 54 city leaders who will meet monthly in the next year to participate in the mayor’s COVID-19 Recovery Roundtable and Health Equity Task Force, the mayor announced on Feb. 17.

Recently, the mayor named Joel Eisdorfer as a senior advisor, and BPJCC’s inclusion in the mayor’s recovery task force is "another step in the right direction toward integrating Orthodox Jewish voices in how the city approaches crises,” said Greenstein. “Now the Boro Park community has a part in guiding the direction of the mayor’s recovery from COVID."

Greenstein, who is looking forward to meeting with the mayor, city leaders, and the Orthodox Jewish community, said working together "will help us achieve our goal of getting through COVID and prospering once again."

“There is a lot at stake and a lot to work with in gaining the community’s trust to work with the city’s Department of Health, and we are set up to do this,” Greenstein said.

“We cannot build a just and prosperous recovery for all New Yorkers without bringing together and listening to experts and community leaders from across the city,” said Mayor Adams. “The COVID-19 Recovery Roundtable and Health Equity Task Force brings not only the best minds together to build a speedy recovery, but a lasting one.

"I’m grateful to the co-chairs and members for bringing their time and ideas to the city as we work towards this shared goal.”
