The Jewish Council (simply the Council among Canadian Jewry) is a statutory body established in 1946 by the Jewry Act. It is tasked with representing the interests of the Jewish citizens and inhabitants of the Greater Canadian Federation, and also has some governmental authority over Jews and, more specifically, the Williamsland Territory. The Council consists of 15 members, all appointed by the Prime Minister, of which 8 are Canadian Aryans and 7 are Jewish. The Council is an independent government institution, and therefore not directly subject to any of the cabinet ministries. The Chairperson is Aaron Grossman, a Jew, who also acts as the chief executive of Williamsland.
