Shalom!

The reading states that close to one in three New Yorkers in the mid-1990’s. This is a statistic that, being in the current neighborhood I reside in, I feel has remained the same if not increased. The beauty of New York is the fact that there are so many different types of people from different backgrounds. Being in an all Jewish community, you can see their food, churches, and way of life, which is prevelant in other neighborhoods involving different types of backgrounds. With such a high ratio of immigrants throughout the years, New York plays host to various religions, cultures, and backgrounds and has been able to enlighten people on different ways of life.
