The Briscoe awards are bestowed each year on members of New York’s Jewish community in appreciation of efforts to better the lives of Irish immigrants. Robert Briscoe was the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ireland. He was elected to that office in 1956, a time when New York City had not yet seen its first Jewish Mayor.
