New York City mayor Eric Adams has announced the appointment of Fabien Levy as deputy mayor for communications. As the city’s first Persian Jewish deputy mayor, Levy will coordinate communications across all of city government, assuring that city agencies will speak with a unified message to New Yorkers.

“Since I was a kid, I knew it was my responsibility to give back, to help others, and — like the Jewish tenet “tikkun olam” translates — to repair the world,” Levy said.
