For my neighborhood project I have chosen the area of Brooklyn inhabited by the Sephardic Jewish community. This community is considered one of, if not the most successful and united Jewish community in the world. This community has literally been built from the ground up. The leaders of this community came with absolutely nothing in their pockets, and have worked tirelessly to set the foundation and build an amazing community that continues to thrive today.  Both community schools and countless synagogues continue to keep this community together. We will research how this community became so successful and how it continues to stay true to its age-old roots despite the fact that it is among NYC, which is a melting pot of various different cultures.
