On an asociated note (very OT) one should not assume that bagels and Jews go together. One of NY's most highly regarded bagelries, H & H Bagels (too massive and sweet to my taste), was created in the early 70's by two Puerto Rican partners. One partner sold out (and was tragically murdered driving a livery car in the Bronx a few years ago) and the other partner has realized the American Dream.
