City Finance Commissioner David Frankel has been tapped to lead the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, replacing former CEO William Rapfogel, who was fired in the wake of a probe on financial irregularities.

The agency is being looked at by the Department of Investigation, and the city has suspended millions of dollars in funding to the Met Council, which gets a lion’s share of its $33 million budget from the feds, state and city.

Rapfogel, whose wife is chief of staff to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, had been its CEO since 1992. He has apologized for wrongdoing, without providing specifics.
