sometimes in a minor way, but New Yorkers are much too cool for that.

9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent.
I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I
had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays
there. Then I went for the movies" - RICHARD DREYFUSS (b. Bklyn -

background is very much that style of writing, Neil Simon (sweet NYer)

are what I grew up loving. So, I probably drew on my New York
background and my Jewish background for that, sure" - MATTHEW
BRODERICK (umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer).."Of course I was always
proud to be a Jew, even though it would have been easier for me not to
be. I remember when I auditioned as a young actor in a Yiddish theatre
in New York. They looked at me and said: "If we have a part for a
Nazi, we'll call you" - KIRK DOUGLAS, Quoted in London's Daily Mail,
Sept. 9. 1988, b. Issidur Danielovitch Demsky, umpteenth sweet
NYer.."Comedians/Entertainers: American humor - theatre, film,
television -would have lost much of its punch without Groucho, Chico,
and Harpo Marx, Milton Berle, Fanny Brice, George Burns, Sid Caesar,
Eddie Cantor, Judy Holliday, Zero Mostel, Henny Youngman, and even
yes, The Three Stooges (Larry Fine, Moe Horwitz, and Jerome "Curly"
Horwitz). The tradition continued with New York natives Danny Kaye and
Phil Silvers in the 1950s & '60s. Woody Allen and Mel Brooks in the
'70s & '80s, and Jerry Seinfeld in the '90s" - NEW YORK CITY'S JEWISH
ARTISTS, excerpt from "Jewish NY: Notable Neighborhoods & Memorable
Moments" by Ira Wolfman.."Currently, one million Jews live in NYC, in
the 1950s, the community reached two million. Those numbers make NY
the largest Jewish urban community in history. But Jewish New York is
not only enormous, it is also enormously complex. The substantial size
of New York's Jewish society is personally significant to every Jewish
person who lives in the city. The presence of so many Jewish people
allows the populace to live free from the self-consciousness that
often inhibits Jews in other cities" - THE PEOPLE OF JEWISH NEW YORK,
IBID.."Carbonated water is another Jewish gustatory success story. In
1880, two seltzer producers opened on the East Side. Twenty-seven
years later, thanks to the exploding immigrant population and its
thrist, more than a hundred companies were manufacturing "East Side
champagne." - IBID.."Jewish stockbrokers had been in business since at
least 1792, when at least four of the twenty-four founders of the New
York Stockbrokers Guild (later renamed the New York Stock Exchange)
were Jewish, including Ephraim Hart, Isaac Gomez, Alexander Zuntz, and
Benjamin Seixas" - STOCKBROKERS IN LITTLE OLDE NEW YORK, GOTTA EARN A
DOLLAR, IBID.."At the same time that 350,000 Jews were crammed into
the bustling Lower East Side, other "Israelites" were living a life of
luxury. Only six miles north of Hester Street, Fifth Avenue had, by
the 1890s, become a neighborhood of the fabulously
wealthy, and New York's German Jewish families were among them. The
Warburgs, Kahns, Lehmanns, Guggenheims, Schiffs, Seligmans, Strauses,
and Bloomingdales had made their money in the garment trade, financial
world, department stores, cigar business, and shipping industry. With
their wealth, they built lavish homes close to those of America's
superrich, such as Carnegie and Frick" - UPTOWN JEWS: RICH ON FIFTH
AVENUE, IBID.."It was the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, which preceded by
weeks of international tension, which really demonstrated the depth of
New York Jewry's support for the state of Israel. In a matter of a few
weeks, the city's Jewish community raised $72 million. Six years
later, in response to the 1973 Israel-Arab war, the donations topped
$100 million. In today's world, in which an independent but still
threatened Jewish state exists, New York Jews know full well that
their attention to the needs of World Jewry is incredibly important.
Beyond that is the community's keen awareness that Jews the world over
are linked, and that living in the freest, most affluent Jewish
society in the world does release them from responsibility for their
brothers and sisters" - LIONS & LAMBS UNITE TO AID THE SHTETL,
IBID.."{I am} just a nice Jewish girl from New York. Going back
through my life now, the Jewish family feeling stands proud and
strong, and at least I can say I am glad I sprang from that. I would
not trade those roots - that identity" - LAUREN BACALL (b. Betty Joan

pop voice of the 20th century.."Yes, I am a Jew, and when the
ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an
unknown island, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon" - BENJAMIN
DISRAELI, 1804-1881, first Jewish Prime Minister of England,
responding to Irish Roman Catholic leader Daniel O' Connell, in the
House of Commons, who cast aspersions on his Jewish ancestry.."Moses
Montefiore (1784-1885) was not only the personal financier of Queen
Victoria, but he also became the first Jewish sheriff of London.
Montefiore led the way for the industrial development of Great Britain
and was responsible for illuminating London's streets by his Imperial
Continental Gas Association, bringing a new twist to the ideal of
Isaiah that the Jews become "a light unto the nations." He also
founded the Provincial Bank of Ireland and a number of other leading
banking institutions. Montefiore was the first Jew to be knighted by
the Queen" - FROM SHYLOCK TO LORD, excerpt from THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S
GUIDE TO JEWISH HISTORY AND CULTURE BY RABBI BENJAMIN BLECH.."We must
study in greater detail than their neighbors, these numerically and
geographically insignificant Jews, who gave to the world one of its
greatest literatures, two of its most influential religions and so
many of its profoundest men" - WILL DURANT (The Story Of Civilization,
Volume I).."If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one
percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust
lost in the blaze of the Milky way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to
be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as
prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial
importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his
bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in
literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse
learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his
numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages;
and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of
himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the
Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone. Other
peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it
burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew
saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting
decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no
slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.
All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he
remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" - MARK TWAIN
