Stanley M. Isaacs
Stanley M. Isaacs (1882–1962) was a Republican Party politician from New York City who served as Manhattan Borough President from 1938 to 1942 and later as a member of the New York City Council from 1942 to 1962 and finally Minority Leader of the New York City Council from 1950 to 1962.[1] An advocate for social justice, Isaacs is perhaps best known for his support for housing and the work he did with Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who he helped to get elected.[2]
A graduate of both Columbia College and New York Law School,[3] Isaacs was born in Manhattan to a family of English-Jewish descent. His paternal grandfather, Samuel M. Isaacs, was rabbi at Congregation Sharaay Tefila. His father, Myer Isaacs, along with his grandfather, published the Jewish Messenger.[4]
