Russian MAYAKI
is means Lighthouses. This is unofficial symbol of Long Island. Suffolk
county executive Steve Levy said us:
I just want to basically say that we welcome the influx of immigrants from former USSR.They have a tremendous work ethic and are among our top entrepreneurs that help grow our business community. The NY metropolitan area has always been a refuge for Jews around the world. We want to continue to have that open door and open arms policy.Suburbia was in part, you know, founded with many Jewish families moving from NYC to Long Island, where we presently are and the Jewish population here in Suffolk County plays a major role in political development.The highly educated, highly trained, Jewish work force is an invaluable commodity within our economy here in Suffolk County.We just want to create a climate where we attract more and more such families to try to experience the American Dream right here in Suffolk County.More and more Jewish and Russian-speakers families I should say.New York has long been known as the melting pot of America. Thousands of families of various ethnic backgrounds have found shelter within its walls. Today, Long Island is gaining the same reputation as more and more ethnically diverse people find their way onto it's shores. They settle here with their families, creating many pockets of colorful ethnic communities. Their customs add to the flavor of Long Island. Their cultures enrich us. From one end of the Island to the other, we are a kaleidoscope of people who have created a places to live, learn, laugh and dance. Come and see what we are all about! |
