A few weeks before the 9/11 attacks in New York, a 14-year-old Manashe Khaimov and his family emigrated from Samarkand, Uzbekistan to Rego Park, Queens, joining other Bukharian Jewish families in the area seeking prosperity, religious freedom and educational opportunities. Over time, while enjoying the freedom and diversity of New York City, Manashe grew stronger ties to his identity and traditions, eventually becoming an educator and an organizer within his community. Today, Manashe, 33, leads the Jewish Silk Road Tours, introducing New Yorkers to a taste of his culture and traditions–including food, culture, music and religious sites, building bridges between the Bukharian Jewish community and Queensites of all stripes. On this episode of Queens Stories, viewers will discover the religious traditions of Bukharian Jews at the Bukharian Jewish Community Center and Temple, try on traditional Uzbek costumes and wares at the Bukharian Jewish Museum, taste traditional Samsa meat pastries (similar to Indian Samosas or Polish Pierogis) at the Rokhat Kosher Bakery, and finish with a sumptuous meal at one of many Bukharian Kosher eateries along Forest Hills’ 108th Street. by QPTV | Queens Public Television

Scott Joplin was a Jazz composer known as the “King of Ragtime,” he is best remembered for his tune, “The Entertainer”, which was popularized in the movie “The Sting” (1973), for which it won an Academy Award for Best Film Scoring. His opera “Treemonisha”(written in 1907), won a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 when it was brought to Broadway. Born near Linden, Texas, his family moved to Texarkana, Texas when he was age seven. Encouraged by his parents, he learned to play the banjo and piano, and in his late teens, began a career as a dance hall musician. When Joplin died of syphilis in a New York City mental hospital in 1917, he was penniless and largely forgotten. In fact, his grave at St. Michael’s Cemetery in East Elmhurst, Queens went unmarked for decades. by QPTV | Queens Public Television
