Our names are Eliane Aini, Albert Cohen, and Abraham Chabbott and we are all Macaulay Honors College freshmen at Brooklyn College.  We have grown up in Brooklyn, New York. All three of us are of Jewish descent and we chose to study the Jewish Community of Bensonhurst in hopes of learning more about our ancestors and the origins of our Jewish communities today.

Both Eliane Aini and Abraham Chabbott are descendants of members of the Sephardic Jewish Community in Bensonhurst.  Albert Cohen is first generation Sephardic immigrant from Mexico, a part of the continuing movement of Jews into New York.
