Samuel Levy (March 17, 1876 – March 15, 1953) was an American lawyer, businessman, and public official, who served as Manhattan Borough President. Life and careerLevy was born in New York City on March 17, 1876, to a Jewish family. He graduated from the University of the City of New York (now New York University) in 1894 and received a law degree from New York Law School in 1896. In addition to maintaining a law practice, Levy was a successful businessman, with his primary interests being real estate investment and development.[1][2] A Democrat, he served on the New York Board of Education from 1929 to 1931.[3] In 1931, Levy was appointed to complete an unexpired term as Manhattan Borough President.[4][5][6] He won election to a full four-year term in 1933.[7] Levy considered a run for Mayor in 1937.[8][9] He instead backed Senator Royal S. Copeland for Mayor, and sought the nomination for New York City Council President in the Democratic and Republican primaries. He was defeated by Newbold Morris in the Republican primary and also lost his bid for the Democratic nomination. After leaving office, Levy returned to his legal and business interests.[10][11] Levy was also involved in several educational and civic causes, including serving as Chairman of the Yeshiva University Board of Trustees.[12][13] Levy died in New York City on March 15, 1953.[14][15][16] He was married to Sadie (Vesell).[17] His son, Lawrence, married Beta Rothafel, the daughter of theatrical impresario and entrepreneur Samuel Roxy Rothafel. Through his granddaughter, Penny (Levy), Samuel is the great-grandfather of actress Amanda Peet.[18] References1. ^Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Inc., [https://books.google.com/books?id=Jb1tAAAAMAAJ&q=%22levy,+samuel%22+%22new+york+law+school%22&dq=%22levy,+samuel%22+%22new+york+law+school%22&source=bl&ots=Uq0fdzEgBB&sig=dArdA5SnqqZ16-ahRBJZCSy6Gw0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=fLUnULjYBI6a8gSTo4GACQ&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAA The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia], Volume 7, 1942, page 17 {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{succession box |2. ^General Contractors Association of New York, [https://books.google.com/books?id=U24qAQAAMAAJ&q=%22samuel+levy%22+March+17,+1876&dq=%22samuel+levy%22+March+17,+1876&source=bl&ots=NUveVgH1m7&sig=dzvLBfsZJWn7ZK9rUcg33r6fMxQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=prsnUPefG4T49QSszQE&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA Annual Bulletin], Volume 22, 1931, page 17 3. ^New York Times, [https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0615F83E5D117A93C5A81789D95F4D8285F9 Samuel Levy Gets School Post], December 17, 1929 4. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1931/01/16/archives/samuel-levy-picked-for-borough-head-by-curry-and-mayor-tammany.html Samuel Levy Picked for Borough Head by Curry and Mayor], January 16, 1931 5. ^Rochester Evening Journal, [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ulZgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=pXENAAAAIBAJ&pg=4873,2195637&dq=samuel-levy+manhattan&hl=en Samuel Levy Picked as Manhattan Head], January 16, 1931 6. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1931/01/17/archives/levy-is-elected-borough-president-educator-choice-of-walker-and.html Levy is Elected Borough President], January 17, 1931 7. ^Milwaukee Sentinel, [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=E1BQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2A0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4930,1392351&dq=samuel-levy+manhattan&hl=en LaGuardia, Reform Candidate, is Elected Mayor of New York], November 7, 1933 8. ^Spokane Daily Chronicle, [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=84gzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=HvUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7045,4668109&dq=samuel-levy+mayor&hl=en Each One Would Like to be Mayor of Gotham], July 20, 1937 9. ^Montreal Gazette, [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=-nYtAAAAIBAJ&sjid=j5gFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2838,2633537&dq=samuel-levy+mayor&hl=en Two Groups Unite to Defeat Whalen], July 22, 1937 10. ^New York Times, [https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0B1FF63458127A93C5AB1789D95F448485F9 Samuel Levy Buys Wall St. Offices], December 27, 1940 11. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1942/10/01/archives/samuel-leyy-buys-sixth-ave-corner-former-borough-president-gets-six.html Samuel Levy Buys Sixth Ave. Corner], October 1, 1942 12. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1948/05/08/archives/yeshiva-fund-is-planned-cohn-dinner-vehicle-of-drive-for-library.html Yeshiva Fund is Planned], May 8, 1948 13. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1953/12/21/archives/lawyer-is-elected-head-of-trustees-of-yeshiva.html Lawyer Is Elected Head Of Trustees of Yeshiva], December 21, 1953 14. ^Brooklyn Eagle, Samuel Levy, Boro President of Manhattan for Five Years, March 16, 1953 15. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1953/03/16/archives/samuel-levy-dies-oity-exofficial-76-former-borough-president-of.html Samuel Levy Dies], March 16, 1953 16. ^New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1953/04/13/archives/samuel-levy-memorial-rites.html Samuel Levy Memorial Rites], April 13, 1953 17. ^https://www.nytimes.com/1957/01/17/archives/obituary-1-no-title.html 18. ^https://www.nytimes.com/1967/04/07/archives/charles-peet-jr-and-penny-levy-will-be-married-lawyer-is-the-fiance.html before=Julius Miller| title= Borough President of Manhattan | after=Stanley M.
