FOREST HILLS, QUEENS The Queens County Democratic Party and the J.F.K. Regular Democratic Club this week endorsed Lynn Schulman in the crowded race to represent Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill in the New York City Council.
The endorsements give Schulman s campaign an added boost as she competes against 11 other candidates who have so far registered to run for the seat, currently held by the term-limited City Council Member Karen Koslowitz, who leaves office at the end of this year. Our grassroots campaign is building a robust and diverse coalition for change, Schulman told Patch. I welcome the support of the Queens County Democrats and the JFK Democratic Club because we need to be united as we confront the challenges we face in health care, income inequality, and racial justice.

Follow in the footsteps of the Bukharian Jewish merchants on the Silk Road and discover the ancient network of trade routes that were for centuries crucial to Eurasian cultural interaction. Explore with us the history of these roads connecting East and West, stretching from the Korean peninsula and Japan to the Mediterranean Sea. Understand the impact and the contribution that Central Asia’s Jewish communities of today’s Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan made towards the development of this ancient path. We will learn about the Jewish presence in this area for over 2000 years, will look into their houses and read into the letters that the Jews of Central Asia exchanged for centuries with their fellow European Jewish communities.
