  1. The sephardic jews of midwood own all sorts of things. Century 21 is one of the ones I pay attn to. There have been several NY Times articles about the community:

    There are some more articles about their culture and such. For instance, they will disown children who marry non-jews, and last minute conversions dont count.

  2. Yeah sam…too bad SNL just doesn’t have the good stuff anymore. The Sarah palin skit could have been a lot funnier, especially if they didn’t have the Hillary there too!!! I think they did a Crazy Eddie skit back then too.

    I remeber when the stock came public back in the 80s and then it got hit really hard after someone started a rumor that he had AIDS. I think his name was Eddie Antar.

  3. I’m pretty sure all of the companies you mentioned were owned by families in this part of Brooklyn.
    I remember the SNL skit with Gilda Radner doing a take-off on the Brooke Shields commercial. Her brand was “Jewess Jeans” the motto was “you don’t have to be Jewish to wear them, but it helps”
